Dead Wrong: Fox News Pundits’ Slanted Coverage Of Ferguson Stirs Up Sh!t…And Jon Stewart Rubs Their Faces In It (Video)
December 4, 2014
BOOM! Jon Stewart cracks Fox News upside the dome again! Hypocrisy, calling Michael Brown the bad buy, poor framing of the true “systemic injustice†that went down in Ferguson and Fox News’ super-slanted reporting on events… as usual.
You know… you’d think they be tired of being on the wrong side (being a right-wing network)… or at least be tired of being beat down by clever comedic comic attacks from The Daily Show With Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report.
You’d think.

Activism: Orlando Jones Issues The ‘Bullet Bucket’ Challenge For Himself… And Us All (Video)
August 26, 2014
…aaand CUT! Print it. Message!
Now, no one is saying stop the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge (well, some folks who have nothing better to do are but…). However, Orlando Jones makes a point in his version – the Bullet Bucket Challenge – that must not be missed! Given the tragic Mike Brown killing in Ferguson (MO, USA), Jones pours out some cold realness and somberly challenges himself (no fingers pointed, but guaranteed most viewers will feel convicted)…
“…listen without prejudice, love without limits, and reverse the hate.â€
– Orlando Jones
Some similar sentiments expressed in the J. Cole post from the other day here.

Lauryn Hill – “Black Rage” (Sketch)
August 26, 2014
An old sketch of Black Rage, done in my living room. Strange, the course of things. Peace for MO.
– Ms. Lauryn Hill
Seems as though, like many timeless artists’ works, Lauryn already had material that applies to the troubles we face today. Case in point, this lyrical sketch (“Black Rage”) L Boogie had that codifies the happenings and fallout in Ferguson. Download a FREE copy and sit with it. Let it sink in.

Talib Kweli x Rosa Clemente Talk About The Michael Brown Shooting And More In Ferguson, Missouri (Interview)
August 25, 2014
Democracy Now is on the job and on the ground at Ferguson, with coverage and perspectives that probably won’t be seen/heard in even left-leaning mainstream media. You’ve probably seen the brief heated encounter between CNN’s Don Lemon and emcee/activist Talib Kweli. Pushed out online (a lot) because of the shock value of the argument. No ground gained, no growth in understanding; and folks didn’t really communicate that even that argument ended respectfully for the most part. However, this in depth talk with Kweli and Rosa Clemente (a longtime activist, journalist, scholar, and former director of the Hip-Hop Caucus) gives us the food for thought we need. Calm, thoughtful, progressive talk about matters of substance. With a keen interest in maintaining focus on the protest movement, Kweli and Clemente joined other grassroots activists in Ferguson just before a massive march planned for Saturday in their hometown of New York City. The NYC march will be on Staten Island, seeking justice for Eric Garner, the brother who was choked to death by police last month.
Listen (and download for FREE) below as Democracy Now! producer Aaron Maté facilitates a chat with Kweli and Clemente at Ferguson’s Greater St. Mark Family Church.
