Jasiri X - "Three Little Girls" feat Hadiyah Yates (Video)

Politically vocal, Pittsburgh MC Jasiri X brings us something to think about for Women's History Month. He also recently shot a video in Wisconsin during the recent Union protests and got attention last year for the song What If The Tea Party Was Black?


For Woman's History Month we wanted to shed light on how violent this society is especially towards woman and girls. "Three Little Girls" tells the stories of the senseless murders of Christina Taylor Green who was killed during the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Brisenia Flores who was gunned down by anti-immigrant militia intent on starting a race war, and Aiyana Jones who shot to death while asleep in her home, by the Detroit Police Department, while they were filming a reality TV show.

I realize these are sad stories, but how can we not be moved to action by the cold-blooded killings of innocent little girls? We have to begin to take an unflinching look at a culture that continues to glorify guns, bombs, and war and sees violence and aggression as the only solutions to its problems.
