This snippet featuring an impressive roster of brilliant minds (including Bakari Kitwana, Vijay Prashad, Rosa Clemente, Mark Anthony Neal, Joan Morgan and Che “Rhymefest” Smith), is quite inspiring and robust, tackling topics ranging from the Obama Presidency to Hip Hop as a tool for social change. As soon as I get hold of the full video footage, I will post it. Our young ones really need to hear these types of discussions as way too much bullshit is floating around as truth......
For those of you who do not know the Birth Of A Nation reference, check it out here. This fear-mongering, race-baiting, aggressively vicious and defamatory film was a very effective form of spiritual assassination. In fact, it was intentionally made to do just that as it was founded on Thomas Dixon's novel, The Clansman, which was intended to "work the audience up into a frenzy...and make them hate". In an interview Dixon himself stated that his whole purpose was to create discord & drive the African-American population out of the United States.
We need to be reminded of the ugly chapters of history as it has a funny way of repeating itself as we can see so clearly today.....
Stay alert.
