There was a musical group named 'New Birth" back in the long ago times of the 70's.    They had a nice run of hits.  I mean, you probably don't hear them on the monopoly radio stations of today, that much. They didn't market as well, like say, Motown's Temptations.  They looked, I don't Know, dangerous!  War looked dangerous, but their audience included a lot of melanin challenged people aiming to be cool. Sly & And The Family Stone had a varied base.  But New Birth? Despite some good songs never attained "legendary" status. Which is a shame, because one tune of theirs, "Ain't No Change!" is dead on the money!  'People Talk About Revolution! People Talk About- Stick It to The Man!"  There is a two term President who happens to be Black. The Attorney General is Black! But young Black men and women are still being murdered by badge wearing thugs. Or "scared" civilians frightened by that hoodie Only them Others be wearing that!   Yep have finally obtained the highest office (visible) in the land, but the culture of the 'Us vs Them' hasn't changed!  All that was in the Past, why you be stirring up things, just get on with your life.   Which is another way of saying "Sssh! Be quiet! Just be patient! And think of Hebbin! " Ain't no Change!
