Discussing the Diaspora as seen through an internal Black lens
BlackPerspective In The Media
November 19th, 2007
As I told you last Wednesday, do to my social activism on Jena and my blogging on it and other social issues; I was asked to come on NPR’s (national public radio) News and Notes to discuss some issues relevant to the black community. You can hear that here: www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16293470
Also, later that night I was invited to do a phone interview with “Lets Talk Honestly” to discuss Michael Baisden’s slanderous attack against our oragnizing Brothrers and Sisters, Color of Change.
You can listen to that here: www.letstalkhonestly.com/LTHSpecialReport.html
Thanks to George Cook for that opportunity. He talks with 3 other Black bloggers as well. My part comes up at the 5:54 mark.
Also feel free to read and comment with your thoughts to either of my two post about the Baisden issue @ BlackPerspective here: www.blackperspective.net/index.php/michael-baisden-and-the-family-kicked-it-at-atlanta-fundraiser-as-controversy-swirls/
and at The Jena 6 Blog here: thejena6blog.blogspot.com/2007/11/michael-baisden-vs-black-bloggers.html

Taser Abuse Awareness
Way to stand up for hip-hop, you’re right hip-hop is not misogynous; the individual artist are. There are plenty of positive music but we as women and men don’t patronize such music, instead the majority is drawn to such trash, giving hip-hop a bad name. The irony of the situation is that women are buying music from artist who subject and degrade them.
I’ve always noted that in the club when the most degrading songs come on that’s when the women jump up and run to the dance floor - THAT’S MY SOOONG!
When that song that went “is some hoes in this house” they start gettin it; then when it would get to the part that says “if you see’em point’em out” they’d all start point to their home girl - lol.
