Man, the BBC World Service stuff that NPR airs in the middle of the morning…..! And it’s always fascinating to hear the Black Power Movement discussed in news/history programs. Very rare in American media, which happily and deliberately hides the Black Power Movement within the much more accepted Civil Rights Movement.
…..so I guess 30 (!) years in, they’ll be more legal wrangling before the inevitable. Not exactly a victory, as Pam Africa said here.
Well done, sir. The Realm of the Ancestors has another champion.
….read about the Civil Rights, Black Power, and anti-Vietnam Movements so you can understand how police respond when you threaten white property and capitalism. (You can start, of course, with my book and this one I’m in. 😉 This classic I’m currently scanning-to-re-reading will help as well.) Boy, your white skin REALLY shows here! LOL!

Since I loved “Captain America,” with its desegregated (!) military, I’m on no moral ground to criticize this movie. (Although, having said that: did we really need to see a film about a grown up Scout? LOL!  All these people don’t think so. So, now, in 2011, The “Magic Negroes” are now maids? AUUUGGGHHH!!!!) I did, however, enjoy Viola Davis’ frankness here.

O-Kay. Well, I guess if a Black man can be Nick Fury, then why not?
