"Everybody is somebody. But nobody wants to be themselves"
Gnarls Barkley

Yo' Mams's Disfunktional! by Robin D.G. Kelley

Song of the Week:

Documentary of the Week: Bastards of the Party
This is a great film on the history of L.A. Gangs.


Event of the Week:

A personal note:
I would like to advocate the spread of cultural histories throughout the year. Many people act as though Black History can only be openly advocated through these 28 days in Feb. To me, that's like saying that Black people are only influential for a month and no more. It is up to us to further they ways in which Black history can be learned, taught, and promoted. This is something I encourage via Black Tuesday. We are key players in the construction of future interpretations of Black culture. If we don't take it seriously; who will?
