M.I.A., a female electronic/hiphop musician from Sri Lanka, has a new album coming out in June. She doesn't seem to be shying away from controversy. The official video for the song "Born Free" off of the album was released today. It depicts the United States FBI or some other U.S. police force acting like Nazis and rounding up all red-headed boys (rather than Jewish people) and having them run through a mine field. Watch this video of the Allegheny County police using the "Long Range Acoustic Device (LRAD)" for the first time in the U.S. at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh last year, then the video of Dr. Kevorkian I posted here, then M.I.A.'s video, then the video I posted here of the U.S. military in Iraq.
While red-heads are most likely not going to be the target group, the message in her video is strong. Think of the phrase "born free". Are we living free? Are we already a police state?
We're heading down a very dark path.
