Afeni Shakur - A TRUE WARRIOR

Afeni Shakur was one of our most powerful leaders in the Civil Rights movement and in FBA history, point blank period. Her strength usurps gender lines and made her a figurehead to be reckoned with throughout the entire Black Panther movement.

Queen Mother Shakur deserves her own biopic. Unlike the Angela Davis' and Assata Shakur's of the time, as a woman freedom fighter, she is not given the credit she deserves, due to the fact that her son is the most famous MC of all time. She deserves her flowers and the entire rose bush! 🌹 ✊🏿

Hip-Hop Has Become A Standard On The World Stage

I was not aware of it but hip-hop stretches beyond the US, Mexico, Canada, and the UK. Korea, Vietnam, and Japan all have a hip-hop genre today. I can't help but wonder how this spread to areas like that other than through cultural influence. I am not sure people in these nations even acknowledged where it started or who was the founders of this genre of music. It seems it is much like jazz where the OG creators get almost completely ignored.

I got lost down a rabbit hole last night watching different music from other nations and so much of the style and vibes of hip-hop in America can be seen in all of them. From grills and tattoos, to fancy cars and music video girls. It is crazy to see. Like in Vietnam, for example, their rap scene looks like something straight from the 1990's rap scene in America.

Manga Vs Comics

Does anyone here read manga and/or comic books?

I have been seeing a lot of growing debates and people complaining online about the topic. Saying manga has basically took over the industry in America because they are simply better at telling stories in Japan. Some say this is because they respect the power of imagery. I have not read a comic in a long time. The last one I remember reading was one of those darker Batman ones and it wasn't a "comic" but rather a graphic novel. I think it was really good with good writing. Maybe things have changed since then, I don't know.

I am considering giving manga a go just to see. Not sure where to start though.

Is The Creator A Hermaphrodite?

It means either he's a hermaphrodite or "his image" wasn't referring to a physical form. If he is a hermaphrodite or formless, is he really concerned with sexuality?

The African Union Was Originally About Fighting White Supremacy?



I was looking up the official excuse for why prostitution is illegal when I stumbled upon the video heading up the article (The African Union, I'm not sure what the relevance is) I did not know and find it interesting that the African Union had fighting colonialism (white supremacy) at its core then after left-wing/soft power white supremacy got rid of Mugabe, It decided to more or less ignore that and address the symptoms of white supremacy instead.
Damn.

PS – I think the main, real reason prostitution is illegal is it gives women too much power. Eventually, they would have done away with the "male pimp" (hiring men only for protection [or prostitution]) and they would've built empires.

You Don't Play Boxing

I watched Stephen A the other day break down Tank/Garcia in a clip on YouTube. I don't watch ESPN but it showed up in my feed. I know we all have the right to break down sports but boxing is different.

Most people can't last a 3 minute round with minimal pressure of another fighter punching back. Hell most can't run them hands on a heavy bag for more than a round. Add the fact that these men and women are in front of thousands/millions of people is an added layer of pressure.

Boxing is different, especially when you step in that ring. The more I do in it, the more I respect it. In boxing, fatigue makes cowards of us all!
