-Alex l NYC

Renina continues to
challenge herself and
give these types of
conversations a platform
away from the classroom.
i also think she grapples
with a lot of ideas and
i love that she’s not afraid
to put that work on display.
i’m thankful.

Letting MTV Raise Your Kids Will Make You a Grandma at 32.

Tuesday, October 31st, 2006

Bill Cosby has a point.
You can’t blame the man.
In theory, Parents raise children. MTV sells advertisments. PS2’s entertain and Mc Donalds is an occasional snack.
Yet, we know that in reality, hella kids get a couple meals a day from Mickey D’s, they stay glued to they PS2’s and MTV/BET is a built into the livingroom [...]

This is What Happens When You Give Athletes Guns.

President of the NBA tells Players to Leave the Gats at Home. No. I am not making this up.
Only in the NBA could the commissioner go from defending the widely criticized new ball to criticizing the players’ right to defend themselves. Actually, given the angry reaction to the synthetic leather basketballs, maybe [...]

The Source, Sexual Harrassment, & NYC JUSTICE.

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

Kim Osorio was awarded 15.5M in her sexual harassment case against The Source. Guess, The Source cats were too arrogant to settle. They should have paid attention to what has happened in sexual harrassment cases on wall street. Settle. Settle. Settle.
Shout out to Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond for the text over at the Village [...]

And besides, while rappers are influential, they are not athletes.I think that it is only a matter of time [...]

An even more recent story has been about Brian Hunter, a commodities trader for the large hedge [...]

William Rhoden Calls Black Athletes 40 Million Dollar Slaves.

Tuesday, October 10th, 2006

This should be a good post. Rhoden essentially argues:

That Black Athletes have lost their connection with the community.

They professional and collegiate sport system is designed for them to be out for self.

Occupants of two worlds- the streets and the world of wealth, these athletes can speak from a perch of power and [...]

The Flavor of Love is 2006 Visual Coonery.

Monday, October 9th, 2006

How you gone go from 911 is a joke to this intolerable Coonery? I am all for poetic liscense. I don’t believe that all art should be postive. But this show crosses the line.

Flav’s grills, clocks.
Women fighting each other on screen.
A woman pooped on her self on screen.

Three words. Coon-er-rey. ( [...]
