My thoughts on American Skin (41 shots) by Bruce Springsteen. Guest post by Aussie Fairy.

41 shots tells the truth about a African man who was pulled down by police and who was shot 41 times. In Africa if you were pulled down by police you had to show them your ID but as this happened in New York the local police thought he was pulling out a gun but it was his ID.

 Shot 41 times. 

Why? No one knows.

This just goes to show that if you’re different you can be in danger. So we should appreciate others’ talents even if it is one in a million bad habits since no one is perfect and no one deserves to be hurt since we’re all people.
