Do you remember the Rhythm Nation Pledge?

Do you remember the Rhythm Nation Pledge?

 

Lyrics to Rhythm Nation:

With music by our side
To break the color lines
Let’s work together
To improve our way of life
Join voices in protest
To social injustice
A generation full of courage
Come forth with me

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right
One time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

This is the test
No struggle no progress
Lend a hand to help
Your brother do his best
Things are getting worse
We have to make them better
It’s time to give a damn
Let’s work together come on

People of the world today
Are we looking for a better way of life
We are a part of the rhythm nation
People of the world unite
Strength in numbers we can get it right
One time
We are a part of the rhythm nation

Janet Jackson pays Tribute to Native Americans

Janet Pays Tribute to Native Americans

 

Does Janet Style Mohawk and Mohegan History?

 

Janet Jackson pays tribute to the Native Americans and style a Mohawk hairdo which is also associated with punk culture.  The Mohawk is said to have been worn by the Mohawk and Mohegan Tribes.  Actually the name Mohawk may be wrong and unsuitable because the Wyandot Tribe may have been the first Native Americans Tribe to wear it, but when the French saw them they thought they were the Mohawk Tribe.

 

There are not many members of the Wyandot Tribe remaining; there are about 8,000 of them spread throughout Canada-Quebec & Canada-Ontario and in the United States Ohio, Oklahoma, Michigan and Kansas. 

 

So before we comment on this particular hairdo let us stop and think about whom we are insulting and it is not Janet.  This hairstyle has history that is about a people who were mistreated, murdered and killed without just cause, was it because people found the hairstyle to be not cool?  When we say we do not like the hairstyle, we are saying we do not like Native Americans or accept their culture?  If so think about where you are!  Was Janet also mistreated?  Not to compare!
