If you mean songs denouncing or exposing the realities of racism, then how about:
- "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday (talks about a Black man in the South who's been lynched)

- "Mr. N*gga" by Mos Def (talks about various incidents of racial discrimination)

- "Cash In Your Face" by Stevie Wonder (talks about various incidents of racial discrimination)

- "A Song for Assata" by Common (talks about the persecution Assata Shakur)

...and that's all I can think of at the moment. Those should do for now.

Bob Dylan, man. Lots of songs about crazy **** like that. Try some of the stuff from the early to mid '60's, during his "Protest" phase. One of my favorites is "Only A Pawn In Thier Game".

One of my favorite songs by Bob Dylan is called "Hurricane". It is the basis for the movie of the same name. The song is about how the police framed boxing champion, Reuben "Hurricane" Carter for a murder and robbery.

There is a whole genre of music dedicated to that subject. It's called Hate rock.

There's a lyric on Aerosmith's "Living On The Edge"
"If you can tell the wise man by the color of their skin, well Mr. you're a better man than I"
