The Herman Fresh Affair by GFK Lyrics
Good morning ladies and gentleman of the court. After a long trial, the jury has finally agreed unanimously on a verdict for the future of these three defendants. Although the KKK was claimed to be a part of the bombings and the affiliation with the defendants. The prosecutor was incapable of providing the jury and the court with sufficient and accurate evidence that DeniseMcnair, Addie Mae Carlton, Cynthia Wesly and Carole Robertson were killed by those three mеn. Therefore, thе verdict is: Frank Cherry not guilty for man slaughter, Thomas Blanton not guilty for man slaughter, Herman Fresh not guilty for man slaughter. The court of South Carolina, along with myself and the jury send our deepest condolences to the Mcnair, Carlton, Wesly and Robertson families. The Carolina state police and the FBI will continue to hunt for these three cold-blooded murderers with all the power that they have. Mr Cherry, Mr Blanton and Mr Fresh, you are now free to go, the court is now adjourned. It is now the year 2002. We are deeply sorry to the Mcnair, Carlton, Wesly and Robertson families again. What happened in 1967 was a disgrace not only toward our justice system but also to the memory of Denise, Addie Mae, Cynthia and Carole. Mr Cherry, Mr Blanton and Mr Fresh will spend the rest of their lives in prison. The court is now finally adjourned. So is it, I mean is it true that there are more ethnic conflict now there was 20 years ago, no they said that we shall believe them, no we will remember. They don't believe our process, four bodies, four souls destroyed. No occasion to protest, the minute we knew we'll just speak of what's the importance of this case. (You haven't die for nothing, no you haven't die for us X9) Go, for you I will build a coalition, (they don't believe now X2). No our arms will raise upon, no our mind will never shut down. (Is it a challenge to consider the others. It's not a question of good or evil. It's a fight for a collective anthemx2.)
Explanations: Racism is one of the biggest disease of our time. It is also a good basis in order to explain today's inequalities. Can we really claim to be a better society when a major part of our resources comes from slavery or exchange based on ignorance. This song talks about our hypocrisy concerning racial tension. A big part of the society continues to follow some false pre-established criteria. In 1967, these four little black girls (and I'm saying black in order to let you understand that their skin were just darker, the white pride invented this racist separation. For us, race does not exist) were killed during class by members of the KKK. Those fucking bastards have put a bomb and they were able to live free for 35 years. Today, this kind of story is taking 15 seconds of our daily news time if we are lucky. It's more important to know that the avalanche did won the Stanley Cup or that some artist was seen naked. Come on wake up, the media is not the problem. We are the problem. Everyone forgot this story except their families. We don't really want that kind of news. We want sports, sex and entertainment. If you really want to do something, read more different points of view. Take the time to think. Life is so fast that we barely have time to have the necessary time to do it. Those cases happen every second in the world but this is not normal. Consider the others. Go over all the fashion and all the racial criteria
