Throwback: Mos Def’s “Umi Says”/Ralph Yarl/Black Lives Matter

I’ve had to post this video far too many times over the past couple of years — and frankly, it’s getting exhausting and infuriating. I read about this case in Kansas City involving young Ralph Yarl. This case, like all of them hit very close to home. I was a nerdy, shy band kid, who played clarinet until I was about 14, a few years younger than young Ralph.

As always Black lives matter — all the fucking time.

A couple of things you can do: The prosecutor, Zachary Thompson can be emailed. His email is prosecutor@claycopa.com. You can email him and ask him to do his job.

Kansas City’s mayor, Quinton Lucas is on Twitter. One of his handles is @QuintonLucasKC. Please tweet him and ask for justice to be done.

Sadly, when it comes to Black folks, we have to pressure the system to actually do what it should do. But so be it.
