Truly enjoy reading your perspective.. as a...Tina, <br />Truly enjoy reading your perspective.. as always.. Even in class, I found it so easy to listen and relate.. I agree fully with your opinion and full breakdown of Obama. I think the black community has an unfortunate "hating: mentality - its as if they waiting for the brother not to say enough as they feel he should.. He has made it clear (especially in his opinion about the Harvard professor incident) that he is fully aware of racism and all the ugly that stems from it (i.e. racial profiling). The problem and the causes have been realized but what good is it to only harp and dwell on past occurrences instead of changing the dialogue to declarative sentences about how to bring about change.. I am all about educating the ignorant and misguided to aid them in understanding the struggle.. but why continue to settle on the struggle and not a solution. It is disheartening when the concern is criticism and judgment when that energy ought to be focused on the betterment and advancement of Black people. I also completely agree about Lil Wayne - as long as their is facet for him to be productive and profitable why would he stop creating and perpetuating junk? I personally do not care for him, but I can not knock his hustle! The main ones hating on Obama be the same ones probably bumping Lil Wayne, because I think there is a lack of education on the pertinent issues. Not to mention the fact, that people are only gunna see what they choose to see negative in others and never look at themselves... I just think as a Black people we need to become educated before forming such outraged opinions and drawing outlandish conclusions - and more importantly, stop falling for the hype. We have immense potential and need to utilize in an uplifting fashion of ourselves and others not making commercial bullshit just to please and be accepted into mainstream.. white folks buy into most of the stuff black folks come up with, if we came up with positivity and put some flava on it that only we can.. they'd buy into that too, guaranteed! <br />Brittanee <br />AFAM and Hi HOP course at UCIBrittaneenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280379846265476813.post-80216611898355060492009-08-18T09:27:30.700-07:002009-08-18T09:27:30.700-07:00Q - peace to you in Beirut and glad you stumbled u...Q - peace to you in Beirut and glad you stumbled upon my site :-) I am glad to hear of your interests in similar work and would definitely like to continue building real solutions to the issues we study.

I also study pop-culture academically, and like you, I do agree that much is spent on chatter and criticism, less on practical hands-on solution. <br /><br />I look forward to reading more of your writing,<br /><br />Best,<br />QQuesthttp://www.questfortherightone.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280379846265476813.post-56306140656894104252009-08-12T00:19:55.090-07:002009-08-12T00:19:55.090-07:00who out there wuz talkn sh*t on the conference...who out there wuz talkn sh*t on the conference...hiphoppa13http://myspace.com/rahmanjamaalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280379846265476813.post-2718605054025115932009-08-07T22:31:47.370-07:002009-08-07T22:31:47.370-07:00thanks for sharing the video link...on point!thanks for sharing the video link...on point!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218094852008924290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280379846265476813.post-1099872571910885892009-08-07T18:10:23.191-07:002009-08-07T18:10:23.191-07:00http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?...http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=176426490402Channel Livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955788522353036698noreply@blogger.com
