NEW HIP HOP - Peace and Blessings Beloved!!!

It's your comrade and word-warrior Jah-I-Witness Emcee reaching out once again to ask for your help in spreading a higher level consciousness in hip hop music and our community. This time I'm tackling a topic that has received much attention, dialogue, and controversy within the black community, as well as American culture (or the lack thereof depending on your perspective) for many years. That topic is NIGGAS, rather the use of the term nigger/nigga to refer to individuals who are descended from black, African ancestry.

Long considered a derogatory term used by the white ruling class to belittle members of the oppressed black populace, the term has been morphed into a term of endearment, which the once ridiculed now use freely and affectionately among each other. Some argue that this is a result of generations of brainwashing and conditioning. Others argue that the adoption and acceptance of the term, somehow decreases the power and negative stigma of the controversial "N-Word".

Recently with the increasing listenership of hip hop music, there has been an observed phenomenon of individuals who have begun to incorporate the "N-Word" into their everyday vernacular, and even go as far as to affectionately refer to each other as "Niggas", worldwide. Once a term exclusively used by the descendants of enslaved African kings, is now uttered from the mouths of white, Latino, Asian, and many other ethnicities worldwide.

Well before things get too out of hand... I wanted to make sure that everyone remembers without question, where it all began (or at least perfected). So after divine inspiration in the wee hours of the morning, I created this video for my song "MADE IN THE USA" to give visual support to this edgy S.L.G track.

The track itself was produced by my bredren St. Paul and is featured on my last project entitled "The Struggle, The Love, The Glory". The track also features verses from my long time Simply Laced collaborator, Kinetic. As stated previously, the video was directed and edited by myself, and was shot on location in my studio, The King's Chamber, with a flip cam and two cigarette lighters (believe it or not...lol!!!).

Take a second to check out and enjoy the video and please do not hesitate to join in the dialogue. Also share this video with those that you know would enjoy it, or those that you know need it.

As always give thanks and praises for supporting the artists that support the culture!!!

The feeling of security and the reality of security don't always match, says computer-security expert Bruce Schneier. At TEDxPSU, he explains why we spend billions addressing news story risks, like the "security theater" now playing at your local airport, while neglecting more probable risks -- and how we can break this pattern.

The film explores themes of racism, justice, and identity against the backdrop of the Old West. It received mixed reviews but has gained a cult following for its unique take on the Western genre and its portrayal of black cowboys.

"The Middle Passage" is a documentary that delves into the transatlantic slave trade, specifically focusing on the harrowing journey endured by enslaved Africans as they were transported across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas. This passage is often referred to as the "middle" part of the triangular trade route used by European merchants.

The documentary examines the inhumane conditions faced by the captives aboard slave ships, including overcrowding, disease, and brutal treatment by the crew. It also explores the broader impact of the slave trade on African societies and the lasting legacy of this dark chapter in history.

"The Middle Passage" often features historical accounts, expert interviews, and visual reconstructions to provide a comprehensive and poignant look at the experiences of the millions of Africans who were forcibly taken from their homeland. The film aims to educate viewers about the horrors of the slave trade and its enduring effects on descendants and societies around the world.

Psychology of... Season 3 - episode 1

Social media influencer Luana Safire recently remembered an incident when she was 12 years old and had to stand up to her history teacher because of his low opinion of black capability.

Safire's defense of black people speaks to the invisibility of blacks and Africans in history textbooks that spread knowledge of world history. Brazil's education system, like that of many other countries, is Eurocentric in its depictions of Europeans in contrast to the way non-Europeans are presented.

Safire's desire to correct her teacher shows what happens when people of African descent begin to have access to information that has long been denied to them.
