(Updated) Lauryn Hill Pens a Letter to Her Public Before Heading to Jail...Today

I like to cover all things Lauryn Hill, and because I find her thought process to be thought provoking, whether I agree or disagree with her position or logic, I thought that I would share some of her thoughts here. This is via Ms. Hill's Tumblr page.

Much of the world is still reeling from the abuses of Imperialist selfishness, misunderstanding, ignorance and greed. Black people remain in many ways a shattered community, disenfranchised, forcefully removed from context and still caged in, denied from making truly independent choices and experiencing existential freedom. Their natural homes, just like their natural selves, raped and pillaged of the resources and gifts God has given to them. Interpreted through someone else’s slanted lens and filter, they remain in many ways, misrepresented. Taxation without proper representation, might I remind you, was the very platform of protest that began the Revolutionary War, which gained this country its independence from England. Anger is not only the natural response to the abuse of power, but is also appropriate when there is no real acknowledgment of these abuses, or deep, meaningful and profound change.

Again, you may read the rest of Ms. Hill's open letter on her Tumblr page. Reports state that she is to begin serving her sentence this month... Lauryn entered a Federal correctional Facility in Danbury, CT today to serve her three month sentence.
