Modern Day Slavery/GA Immigration

In Georgia the new Governor Nathan Deal has enacted a immigration law similar to the one’s in Arizona. Georgia allegedly has some 200,00+ illegal immigrants and are supposedly taking jobs from good, wholesome, apple pie eating Americans. The law has started an outcry from the mostly the Latino community but on the grand scheme of things other people should be concerned as well

Blacks in the media

The issue of race is a reemerging topic that plagues are society. From people wanting a certain job position, walk in a certain neighborhood, and other achieved statuses race seemingly plays a factor. The image of blacks in America is heavily influenced by the media. In the civil rights era the media was used to show black people in a certain light that made it acceptable for brutality and injustice in mainstream America’s eyes and in the same token it was the media who sometimes shed light on the injustice. We fast forward to today and we now have the television, which I believe in some few ways has help the “image” but in more ways has caused harmed to the “image.”

Ohini Jones artist off the week 6/13-6/19

This week’s artist of the week is Ohini Jonez. A Brunswick Georgia native, Ohini like every artist I will feature has a style synonymous to himself. Coming from Georgia you might expect him to sound a certain way or talk about limited Georgia experience but his music transcends state lines and even regional lines.

White Entertainment Television and HWCU's????

Out the blue I received an email from a viewer of the blog and he told me that he liked the blog and liked what I was trying to do, but he was worried that I came off slightly racist. I asked him how he came to the point and he commented on my previous post of black ownership , black athletes attending HBCU’s, and a BET post that I have not posted yet. So he said all this to say basically what about the “good ole boy’s? Why don’t we have a historically white school or a white version of MTV? I thought this was very comical. Either people of a certain color are naive or ignorant to the fact that if it is not an HBCU than it technically is a historically white school and the “white” version of BET is called MTV/CMT/VH1(ironically one company owns all these music media outlets, Viacom), but either way it goes the media , business, whatever is disproportionately in the majority(whites) favor in all facets, excluding incarceration rates. So shout to the viewer who sent me that email I hope this addresses your concern



Why won't black athletes play at HBCU's

Been watching college sports on ESPN classics this past week and one thing I noticed was the black players. I wondered why more black athletes do not attend HBCU’s(Historically Black College/University) . Is it because they would not receive the notoriety they receive at other institutions? If Tyrell Pryor attended Fort Valley State I bet no one would care.

Artist of the week 6/6/11 Kenny Bowman

This week’s artist is a good friend of mine Kenny “Skinny Kenny” Bowman. He is a East Atlanta native hailing from Stone Mountain, don’t know what it is about that area but it’s producing stars left and right. Mr. Bowman has a style that is as unique as his personality, a real Laissez-faire attitude towards life he tends to look at things in a positive light as opposed to the negative.
