Its Friday and the world is going through it something awful. It's to the point where I rarely watch the news anymore since it has gotten to be so heavily filtered from their corporate owners. My love and condolences to the people of Japan. So do you think we will get the full story on the Japanese nukes from say NBC when GE the builders of the reactors that are facing meltdown in Japan are also the owners of NBC? Republicans have violated the people of Wisconsin with a bogus vote ending workers collective bargaining rights in the state.....over 50 years of union struggle shot down in 30 minutes. And no news agency is covering what's going on in Africa outside of Libya and Egypt
As If the conflict on the Ivory Coast is no big deal I guess if they had oil there we would be talking about the injustice to the people and UN involvement, but no love from the Obama white house. The only Africans of interest must be Arabs in order to be worth the attention of news media. And this is
not even close to all the stuff going on affecting our people. What do you think?

New video Robot Robinson
Robot Koch & John Robinson | "Smorgasbord" Video
Check out the new Video "Smorgasbord" from Robot Robinson, the First Official single from the Robot Robinson project due out April 12th! Robot Robinson is a collaboration project w/ International Electronic producer Robot Koch and world renown emcee/entrepreneur John Robinson. The duo comes with a Space Funk, minimalistic snap thump with "Smorgasbord" which Robinson says "I am giving you a variety of different styles and sounds. In all my projects. This project is droppin' on my Born Day! What better way to celebrate than with a GRAND Experiment! Get ready for 'ROBOT ROBINSON!'" This forthcoming album is not only very different from what you are used to fr om John, but it is profoundly progressive and an exceptional display of where hip hop and electronic music most suitably converge.

A Woman we all should know about....
Give thanks to my empress for linking I to this video. To think that after this we are now willingly shaping the most negative stereotypes of ourselves because we aspire to some sort of fame or celebrity . The blueprints for this behavior was once a forced act on our women but now........things have changed while some remain the same. We need to educate each other cause knowledge is power but its also food for the mentally under nourished. Peep this one and remember the name cause the story could happen today just the same . Big ups to Dede Hunt for the info.
Who Is Sara Baartman Every black woman should know her name
And the Lynching continues
Its a shame one of my musical heros has been shit on by Babylon today after years of struggle to sing what he pleases the beast has caught Buju Banton in some fuckery and the outlook now is bleak. Salute to the general still!!!
Buju Banton guilty on three cocaine related counts
Jamaica's reggae superstar Buju Banton, real name Mark Myrie, has been found guilty of three cocaine related charges.
A 12 member jury a short while ago delivered the verdict in the Sam M Gibbons building in Tampa which houses the United States Middle District Court, Florida Division.
Buju was found guilty on conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute five kilograms or more of a mixture and substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine.
He was found not guilty for attempting to possess five kilograms or more of cocaine.
He was found guilty for aiding and abetting others in using a communication facility in the commission of a felony.
He was also found guilty for knowingly and intentionally possessing a firearm in furtherance of and during the course of a drug-trafficking crime.
Buju was tried last week on four charges.
Buju throughout the maintained he is innocent of the charges saying he play no part in any conspiracy to possess cocaine.
In denying the claims against him, Buju, though his attorney David Oscar Markus, argued that the artiste never became a willing participant of the cocaine conspiracy charged in the superseding indictment.
The defence said tasting the cocaine, talking about cocaine and simply being present at the warehouse is not sufficient to find Buju guilty of the crimes charged.
This trial, which began on February 14, was the second attempt of the US government to convict the Jamaican artiste. A first trial last year was declared a mistrial after jurors failed to arrive at a unanimous position.
Buju was arrested on December 10, 2009.
His long-time friend Ian Thomas and a James Mack were arrested the same day when they attempted to buy cocaine from undercover detectives in a Florida warehouse. Thomas and Mack pleaded guilty but Buju denied the charges. He said he decided to fight in federal court because he knows he is innocent.
