Killer Mike On Why People, White And Black, Are Mad (Video)
January 23, 2018
Damn. Michael Render with the real talk. Gotta use Killer Mike’s government name because it’s so real! Ever wonder why poor and working class White people vote against their interests… aligning with Republicans who want to defund programs that benefit them and give tax cuts for citizens who make way more than they do? Because the flag-waving and make-American-great-again chanting has them thinking the ‘trickle down’ from those ‘job creators’ will become a wave of prosperity they can ride to the top [and someday join the 1%]?
Nah… Mike says it’s because they’re mad, son!
I think poor White people are mad because the system that promises you something based on that isn’t ever going to give you that … Poor white people during the civil rights movement in Mississippi they were treated as badly as any Black worker. But because there was an imaginary line of race got put there and they can still say they are superior to this person, they never joined with the Black worker to fight better conditions for them all.
– Killer Mike
But hold up, Black people. Mike has some biting words for his people, too.
A must watch!
(Yeah. We ALL have a right to be angry. But what are we gonna do about it?)

People Do Know That Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Is NOT On Twitter… Don’t They? (Video)
January 18, 2018
Since this is Donald Trump’s first MLK Day in office we decided to commemorate it by going out on the street and asking people whose side they were on in the Donald Trump/Dr. King Twitter war. Of course, Martin Luther King has been gone for 50 years but that didn’t stop people from weighing in on this impossible feud in an MLK Day edition of #LieWitnessNews.
– Jimmy Kimmel Live
Sometimes you just gotta laugh at sh!t. Like this Kimmel clip. Hope they don’t end up starting a ‘real’ Trump Tweet beef with Dr. MLK Jr. (RIP) Prediction on that: Would be reeeeeally one-sided.
(But you knew that. Some of these interviewees, well, may not.)

Watch The PBS Teaser For The “Nas: Live from the Kennedy Center” Documentary (Trailer)
January 13, 2018
This is when you appreciate what an ARTIST like Nas means to Hip-Hop – to rap and music in general. As soon as you say ‘Kennedy Center’ in your mind and think of who would rep the culture and rock that joint right, Nas ought to show up at the top of a relatively short list. LEGENDARY! And there will be PBS coverage of the event. Plus a documentary on the whole happening and events leading up to it.
Two decades after the album’s critically-acclaimed release, Hip-Hop artist Nas teamed up with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, to stage a symphonic rendition of “Illmatic,†one of the most revered albums in Hip-Hop history. The new concert film Great Performances — Nas Live From the Kennedy Center: Classical Hip-Hop captures the energy and nostalgia of this collaborative performance and premieres nationwide Friday, February 2 at 9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings).

This is before Trump was elected President. Wow, situation still looking crazy as it did back then.

‘Caramel Curves’ Takes A “Ride With Norman Reedus” (Video)
November 29, 2017
Mm mm mm! Ain’t nothing like a nice body on a bike… and the motorcycle’s is nice, too. Ha!
This “Ride With Norman Reedus” series looks like some quality programming. I am catching eps and clips online, which is nice, but I am more-and-more wanting to watch on TV/DVR now that I see stuff like this.
Norman meets a member of an all-female biker club who can’t believe she’s meeting The Walking Dead’s Daryl.

Go television AND Eye Candy for my vision. Win-win!

Dave Chappelle On A Low Country ‘Ride With Norman Reedus’ (Video)
November 28, 2017
Alright, that’s gangsta.
– Dave Chappelle
I’m a fan and faithful watcher of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” but I have not made time to watch an ep. of star Norman Reedus’ show, “Ride,” yet. This one featuring Dave Chappelle looks like a great one to start with. Dave and Norman are already cool (and funny) in their own rights. But together – getting into some good food and great stops & historical sites – they go for a ride on a higher level.
Enjoy the clip above and the one after the jump. And here is the link to the full episode (need a subscription to watch).

African Men Being Sold Into Slavery In 2017 (Video)
November 24, 2017
Big strong boys for farm work… 400… 700…
You are watching an auction of human beings.
Holy sh!t. That ache in your gut is probably not as profound as it would have been a century ago, or if you were actually being auctioned, but it SHOULD NOT BE THERE AT ALL! Just like this slave trade going on today. It should not be going on, in Libya, or ANYWHERE!
Smugglers in Libya are auctioning migrants off as slaves. At a property outside Tripoli, CNN’s Nima Elbagir witnessed a dozen men go under the hammer in the space of minutes.
