My Ode to Melanie Fiona

Not too long ago I saw a video of a young woman from Toronto Canada (the same place Drake is from) singing a cover of India Aire's "Ready For Love" then I swear one week later I see a video for a song she has out called "It Kills Me" and since then I've been hooked. This soulful singer/song-writer is the NEXT BIG THING! She has an old school sound with very new school R&B appeal. Also PLEASE support her a cop or but her album on iTunes called The Bridge, believe me you will not be sorry.

Let's Put This to Rest! pt.2

This right here is just another one of those things that needs to stop.. The support of ignorance through music.. I don't know much about this Wocka Flocka character and quite frankly with a name like Wocka Flocka, what much is there to know. But what I do know is that we have to stop the popularization of guys like him. We can't allow guys like him to become wealthy while he exudes so much ignorance. Here's a clip of him trying to be interviewed and after about 30 seconds it just gets too hard to watch or listen to because his ignorance just gives me a headache..

Let's Put This to Rest!

Now with it being the LAST day of 2009, let us PLEASE make the conscious effort to put a stop to the way media is portraying US! And by us I mean black people/African Americans! I'm tired of some rich white corporate executive siting behind his desk thinking of new ways to portray US as a culture, a people, and society, in such a dark, disgusting, and vile manner. Especially with the masses fixated on what they think is "reality television". Shows like Flavor of Love, Real Chance of Love, and this new show on TLC called One Big Happy Family is depicting an obese black family as a real-life "Klumps". We have to stand up to this type of stereotyping and bold face degradation of our people. Because in their eyes if we're not running, jumping, shooting, stealing, committing acts of violence, fighting, cursing, and having illegitimate children, then we're not worth watching.

Here's a preview of the show, and if you don't feel some time of way about this then....

Black Isn't So Beautiful Everywhere..

As a black man living in America, I'm conscious of the history of racism, and segregation that African Americans have endured. I know of the hardships and the difficulties people struggled through and some have overcome. But this clip let's me know that even though we've come a long way, the fight to total acceptance and equality isn't over.
