Damn, AJR………
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007…………I’m sorry that you might go to that Great American Magazine Graveyard. It’s too full. And there had been good news, too, which makes it all the more sad.

Harry Potter And The Never-Ending Wait :)
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007The whole family in front of me had round glasses of some type—some Harryish, some real.
We were in line, outside, in downtown College Park, Maryland.
For The Book.
Evangelists and snarky, too-cool passerby college students couldn’t spoil our mood. In front of me, mostly 10-year-olds, dressed in black cloaks and black wizard hats I’d see all evening. In back, mostly teens, sans […]
Have You Read…………
Monday, July 16th, 2007………. Mark Anthony Neal’s interesting explanation (I won’t call it a defense, but I could ) of Michael Eric Dyson?
Nope, I Can’t/Couldn’t Wait! LOL! (Before And After Seeing “Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix”)
Tuesday, July 10th, 2007JUST GOT BACK FROM THE MOVIE, and WOW!!!………
OFF. THE. CHAIN.
Which is kind of funny, because it’s an epic film in which “nothing” happens. “Phoenix” is essentially a war flick, with a little bit of the psychological thriller genre (complete with a couple of very subtle torture scenes!) thrown in. It’s really the beginning of a NEW, tragic HP […]
An Anniversary Worth Noting
Wednesday, June 20th, 2007It’s been 21 years since this song and this artist took over my mind, body and soul.
I remember telling people at the time that my goal was to bear HER child! LOL!
What made me think about her today? I was joking with a friend of mine about Spike Lee’s cameo in this video:
While watching it, I […]
Coming Soon: “Sentences: The Life Of MF GRIMM”
Tuesday, May 15th, 2007
Just got this today. I was a huge Transmetropolitan fan, so I’m down with Vertigo. I eagerly await this.
Dear Producer/Editor,
Hip-Hop is a culture that can bring a community together with youth outreach and block parties or divide a neighborhood with violence and gangs. It’s a world built of DJs, Emcees, Writers and B-Boys, a world […]
A “Spider-Man 3″ Review, In Less Than 200 Words
Saturday, May 5th, 2007I can’t believe that as of this morning, ”Spider-Man 3″ only ranks a measly 62 percent on Rotten Tomatoes! That’s borderline (*SHUDDER*)”rotten!” WTF??
But, then again, after seeing the movie twice yesterday, I think I get it.
“SM3″ is a near-excellent film. (It is a little long, but as a true sequel to both the original and its sequel, […]

………….Uncle Ben is now CEO of Uncle Ben’s Rice!
Don’t believe me? Click here, then listen to this.
(First Aunt Jemima gets a perm, and now this. Hmph. We must be in 2007. )Â
Some historical context can be found here.
“It’s Men’s Attitude, Stupid!”: A Commentary About Imus, Hiphop And Sexism
Thursday, April 26th, 2007Just got this from Akila Worksongs. Â
“It’s Men’s Attitude, Stupid!”: A Commentary About Imus, Hiphop And Sexism
By Byron Hurt
April 24, 2007
As a response to the Don Imus fallout surrounding his racist and sexist rant hurled at the blameless Rutgers University women’s basketball team – and to the dramatic shift and intense media glare on hip-hop’s sexism […]
R.I.P., Black Family Channel?
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007If so, too bad.
I’ve thought it was going to merge with TV One, not just die.
Our activists like to talk about our hundred billion dollar spending power. Well, it’s clear now that having a trillion dollars doesn’t and won’t mean much if that money is not targeted—if we can’t convince advertisers and cable and satellite operators that the […]
