Michael jackson-» they dont care about us»

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter and dancer. Dubbed the «King of Pop«, he is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century. Over a four-decade career, his contributions to music, dance and fashion, along with his publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture. Jackson influenced artists across many music genres; through stage and video performances, he popularized complicated dance moves such as the moonwalk, to which he gave the name, as well as the robot. He is the most awarded music artist in history.

On March 31, 1996, he wrote a song named » they dont care about us». It is about human rights and mostly about those with black coloured skin. Its lyrics refer to the… apathy of the powerful of the world but also to human rights. The song acquires its own video clip and travels us to one of the poorest favelas in Rio, Donna Marta. There is, however, a second version in prison. The song returned to the forefront in 2014 and 2015, when African-Americans protested police violence against them with the slogan «Black Lives Matter».“The song is in fact about the pain of prejudice and hate and is a way to draw attention to social and political problems. I am the voice of the accused and the attacked. I am the voice of everyone. I am the skinhead, I am the Jew, I am the Black Man, I am the White Man. I am not the one who was attacking. It is about the injustices to young people and how the system can wrongfully accuse them.”
