Frustrated: Black American Men In Brazil (Documentary)

One of my homies just called me & told me I need to watch this documentary called “Frustrated: Black American Men In Brazil” which I’m sure will raise some seriously heated discussions. The documentary is almost an hour long & I only got about 5 minutes into to it before I decided to go ahead & post this up for discussion. Check out a more detailed synopsis of the documentary below….

KRS-ONE Gives His Views On 9-11, Hip-Hop’s Great Ones and More (Video)
February 5, 2013
Whether they agree with him or not, most would agree that the ‘Kris’ (KRS-ONE) articulates his positions on even the most controversial topics plainly…when given the chance. Surfing the ‘Tube (YouTube), I found this Vlad-TV clip (above) in which KRS-ONE clarifies comments he made soon after 9/11 to The New Yorker magazine that were were taken out of context. KRS-ONE also talks about today’s Hip-Hop, battles, and his respect for the rap greats.

Comedy: Straight Men Respond To Gay Men Who Threaten To Marry Their Girlfriends (Video)
December 10, 2012
This video is a response video to a viral clip of gay men threatening to steal & marry straight men’s girlfriends. Although many gay men & women have plenty in common that ridiculous idea would backfire like crazy. I would say this comedic skit accurately breaks down how most heterosexual men feel about these so-called ‘threats’. What makes this clip so funny is many of the points made in this video are true. Hahaaaa! “Marry our girlfriends, ’cause we’re not going to.” (Side note: Best line of the vid: ‘Mother…f#cking…STEAKS!’ Watch for it.)

Jalen Rose Speaks On How Athletes Go Broke (Video)
November 6, 2012
Ever wonder how a multi-million-dollar-earning athlete goes broke by the end of a career? Sure you have. Well, Jalen Rose knows. For real… and he puts the usual suspects on blast (above): starting that record company, creating that clothing line, giving out personal loans (that will never be repaid), having too many kids, divorce… The list got long… and Rose admitted to couple of his own dollar-draining mistakes: copping a Mansion bracelet and a Vertu phone. Nice… but not that nice. Save your money. Take heed up-and-coming millionaires.

Jon Stewart to President Obama via ‘The Daily Show’: Wake Up! (Video)
October 8, 2012
Okay, so President Obama did NOT have his best showing at the first of the 2012 Presidential Debates. Sure, moderator Jim Lehrer could have been more assertive – to wrest control of the event back from Mitt Romney (who was obviously the most confident and aggressive on stage) AND from the President. Yes, yes… all true… unfortunately. But that doesn’t mean that we cannot count on Jon Stewart to help us laugh about it. Be clear though: As Jon is so skilled at doing, he makes a serious point in the midst of his comical barrage. He made it directly to the President in his own “Samuel Jackson-ish” way… He… well, just watch.

Jon Stewart Goes In On The So-Called ‘Problem’ of Voter Fraud (Video)
August 29, 2012
Gotta love Jon Stewart! Always bringing the B.S. to light in a lighthearted way. In this segment of ‘The Daily Show’ – “Wizards of I.D.” – Jon points out that Conservatives and Fox News seem REALLY driven to uncover and stamp out voter fraud – which is occurring only a scant percentage of the time in elections. Oh… by the way… the strongest anti-voter fraud efforts are being made mostly in swing states with Republican-controlled legislatures! But hey… Maybe it’s a coincidence. Ha! Don’t believe it. But if you do believe that, might I interest you in a bridge I am selling in Brooklyn? Some Arizona swamp land perhaps? More after the jump…

New Voter ID Laws Take Us Back To The ‘Jim Crow’ Era (Video)
August 21, 2012
Supposedly, new Voter ID laws are being pushed into place “to reduce instances of voter fraud.” But many have said, on record, that voter fraud is NOT even a real problem. Now, fraudulent practices with vote COUNTING… Well, that’s another Bush election altogether. Fact: Requiring NEW forms of ID to combat voter fraud has the effect, intended or not, of DENYING THE RIGHT TO VOTE in key segments of the population! Keesha Gaskins and Michael Waldman from the Brennan Center for Justice sat down on PBS’ Moyers & Company to explain. Using new research, Waldman and Gaskins argue these laws represent “the first rollback of voting rights since the Jim Crow era.â€
Watch… so you’ll be ready for the next “slick” argument for the way voter ID laws are being pushed today!
And if you think that the Black, Hispanic, elderly, and poor votes that will be lost is some kind of “unintended result” of this new type of legislation keep reading…

Politics: Would You Have Booed Mr. Romney? (Video)
July 13, 2012
Amen, Chris. AMEN! Folks, I generally keep my political opinions to myself; but I feel obligated share wisdom as often as I can. Chris Rock, as he makes us laugh, often gives us pause…that we might THINK. Now, the Chris Rock video was a warm-up. Here is the video I want to discuss (and have you think about). Take it away, Mr. Romney.

What Atlanta’s NBA Franchise Can Learn From The Miami Heat: Pay Attention You’re Missing A Payday!
July 5, 2012
JayForce recently gave on-air commentary (on The Remix and the Beatz & Lyrics shows) about his experiences at the last game of the 2012 NBA finals, about King-with-his-first-ring Lebron James, and about the welcome feel of the arena and locale. I took in all he said: the game being an incredible experience, the King’s ring being well-deserved, the Heat being the team of destiny (giving thanks to all those Lebron haters who lost bets to him), and that Miami knows how to celebrate. However, the comments that would follow – building on that last point – were likely what gave listeners the most to think about…that in Atlanta, fans are being dissed AND that money is being missed!
