  2. "ALL DEF DIGITAL is a YouTube MCN brought to you by Russell Simmons, showcasing the best in comedy, music, and entertainment news." I just learned about this video reading an interview of Marc Polite on BMoreNews.com. It looks like Simmons published this video on his youtube channel back in 2013. Many people took offense to the video, ultimately resulted in Simmons having the video pulled. I was not aware of this video until today. I wasn't offended by this video, any more than I've been offended by any of the other nonsense, Simmons has produced. What actually puzzles me is that anyone though this skit was the least bit funny.

  6. This sister right here, Yvette Carnell of Breaking Brown is singing my song. Would you believe just moments before I watched this video I'd emailed the editor of the site http://breakingbrown.com/ to try to understand how they squared their mission with the all the crazy ads they were running. I could not image the trade off in what I viewed as integrity was worth whatever these ads would generate in terms of revenue. This in my mind is far worse that what Googles ads do. I normally don't reach out to editors in this manner, but the Yvette, seems forthright and conscious so I took a chance. Below is a screen shot from the Breaking Brown Websi…

  7. Who knew Orson Welles was a civil rights activist. Isaac Woodard, Jr., often written just Isaac Woodard, (March 18, 1919 – September 23, 1992) was an African American World War II veteran who was attacked by South Carolina police in 1946, while still in uniform, hours after being honorably discharged from the United States Army. His attack and injuries sparked national outrage and galvanized the civil rights movement in the United States. The attack by South Carolina police left Woodard completely and permanently blind. Due to South Carolina's reluctance to pursue the case, President Harry S. Truman ordered a federal investigation. The sheriff was indi…

I just upgraded Huria Search making it mobile friendly, adding back the social icons (Harriett Tubman had to go back to the plantation to save her people), cleaning up the look and making major changes on the backend. The database is growing and the quality of the content is improving. Sadly, many of the book stores are dropping their websites--there are some many broken URLs, I'm considering removing the category. This is hard because supporting bookstore websites was my primary reason for creating Huria Search in the first place! It is to the point now it is not even worth talking about, sort of like complaining about the lack of Blacksmith websites. The large…

"...there is a hunger in this country for a movement that is prepared to stand up to the billionaire class, which has so much influence over not only the economic life of the country, but the political life of this country. Everybody knows that the middle class continues to collapse, we have more people living in poverty than ever before, and the wealthiest people and largest corporations are doing phenomenally well, and people are angry."

  13. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, lasted over an year and was effective. Today, Black people, poor people, or any group of people with sufficient numbers could not organize a boycott of anything. Even if we could organize a boycott would we be willing to make any short term sacrifices for a long term gain? There are many things that Black people are responsible for making happen from the Obama presidency to the success of TV shows like Empire. Black people complain all day long about the bias of Fox News; why should Fox enjoy any level of financial success due to Black people? Would Black people be willing to Boycott the show Empire (watched almost exclusively by Black people…

    Social media is currently a twitter with the fall-out from the stand-off between two famous black intellectuals, Cornel West and Michael Eric Dyson. Once friendly colleagues, their deteriorating relationship has gone public, each one criticizing the other‘s stance on the policies of Barak Obama who has continued to snub both of these Liberals, leaving them to sulk about not being included in the White House inner circle in reward for supporting his presidential campaign. Currently fueling the fire of this feud is the article Dyson wrote for The New Republic Magazine in which he put West in the same “has-been” category as boxer, Mike Tyson, describing him as a one-ti…

    I watched Gone With the Wind for the first time last night. I was a interesting film. Apparently, the NAACP boycotted it when it came out in 1940. (Does the NAACP boycott anything nowadays?) Several of the films stars Clark Gable (I read somewhere that he is Black), Hattie McDaniels (who won an Academy Award for her role), and Vivien Leigh all died young. One of the films stars, Olivia Mary de Havilland is still running around and will be 99 in July! I knew McDaniel was the 1st Black actor to win an Oscar, however after seeing the film, it was for a role, in my opinion, no more remarkable than the one Halley Berry earned her award.

    Another black man has been murdered by a policeman after being stopped for a minor traffic violation. The unarmed victim, who had outstanding warrants due to unpaid child support, decided to resist the prospect of being arrested and while trying to escape, was brought down by gunfire. The question that continually arises in my mind is: WHY, with all of the publicity about how little value is placed on black lives by law enforcement officers with itchy trigger fingers and "take no prisoners" attitude, do black males who know they have targets on the their backs, confront or flee from the cops, risking a chance that they will be shot down like runaway slaves??? …

Interstellar DVD Review by Kam Williams Rated PG-13 for intense action and brief profanity Running time: 168 minutes Christopher Nolan is one of my favorite directors, and four of his pictures have made my annual Top Ten List, including Memento, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins and Insomnia. However, I had a hard time understanding exactly what was going on in Inception, an inscrutable mindbender that I found to be a little too hip for the room. The same could be said about Interstellar, an over-plotted, post-apocalyptic sci-fi with a few too many layers for its own good, in this critic’s humble opinion. Clocking i…

    For almost a decade a few buddies and myself have a March Madness Pool. Over the last several years we have been using PayPal to send the entry fee. I already take it for granted that PayPal mines all our transactions for information. Perhaps the information they obtain is a revenue stream. But when they read our messages and arbitrary decide what is an acceptable transaction they have overstepped their bounds, on so many levels. When I send someone a check, Citibank does not email me to say, "Hey we don't approve of the reason for you writing a check, stop it." This is absurd!

  35. Seriously, this is the question Ebony magazine asked 50 years ago. Whatever the answer was, the imagery has not changed. It may have even become more extreme as long blond hair is common place and the use photoshop is mandatory. Women wear long blond wigs not so much because that is the way men want to see them, but because that is the way they want to see themselves. Of course this is the image that Black media promotes, as they work hard to conform to the white standard of beauty. When we see a Black woman with rocking a natural style, we "freak out," the way we do when we see a more accurate world map.

    I imagine most of us are accustomed to seeing a maps of the world that look, more or less, like the one below. I was well into my adult years before I realized just how much larger Africa is than the United States (more than 3 times the size, including Alaska). Africa is almost 14 times the size of Greenland! Russia is little more than 1/2 the size of African. Mexico is bigger than Alaska. Obviously none of these facts could be discerned from the maps we normally see. Anthony T.

    Black and blue or gold and white? (OK, Troy, I assume this is something you aren't familiar with since you boycott pop culture trivia, but bear with me.) I found interesting the much ado about how people perceived the colors of a dress posted on social media, and how this pitted them against each other to the point of belligerancy. This controversy created such a stir that scientists chimed in and offered explanations, calling the phenomenon that went viral on the internet an optical illlusion, an example of how our brains are wired differently when it comes to processing what we see, explaining further that lighting can have an influence on an image and how th…

    These men are active in the Harlem community, and have been for decades; Brother Leroy Baylor / Media, Mosque No. 7 and Dr. James McIntosh / C.E.M.O.T.E.P. (Committee to Eliminate Media Offensive to African People). ​They are not celebrities but are actually doing conscious things of consequence in the community.
