Bite the bullet and do something great
I sure hope not
This is powerful
I pray that history is destined to repeat itself.
With the Trayvon Martin case shattering the imaginary veil of post-racial America, I thought it would be appropriate to remind you all of where things started. The American people have been given a slanted view of race & racial relations since our nation’s inception.
Birth Of A Nation tells the slanted story of two families, one from the north and the other from the south and chronicles their lives before the civil war and throughout reconstruction. It depicts the worst racial stereotypes seen since the pre World Star Hip Hop days and heralds the Klan as the heroes of America. There is also a very odd love story aspect but I guess even bigots need love. -_-
The video is long because the movie was originally shown as two films. Skip around if you’d like, but I’m sure you’ll get the picture.

Equality has not yet been realized and even thoughts of it are fleeting at best.

What an ultimatum
In 1984 these photos caused Vanessa Williams to resign her Miss America title. They were never supposed to be released & caused all sorts of ruckus. We found out how classy Hugh Hefner is, how skeezy Penthouse was and that these photos fulfilled $14M worth of American sexual fantasy, but at this point in time…all we can do is say thank you to Tom Chiapel (the photographer that took the photos). I would tag these with Throwback Thursday but let’s face it…these are timeless.
