Gawker ran an article today highlighting Michael Jackson’s song, “They Don’t Care About Us.” I loved this song from the get-go when I bought his album HIStory.

Obviously with a lot of the unrest around Missouri and NYC and the country, the lyrics from the song have resonated for a lot of people, and not surprisingly. This article today linked to a version of the video I never knew existed and apparently was banned at the time of its initial release – but talk about how some things just don’t seem to have changed:
