      Invincible: Opportunity in Crisis

      Posted by Shemuses

      The Detroit rapper reflects on her music, activism and inspirations. Balancing art and activism is a challenge. Just ask Ilana Weaver, better known to hip-hop fans as Invincible, the Detroit-based emcee who has been rapping for well over a decade. A 2002 XXL Magazine feature lauded her as a talented lyricist and seasoned performer. She was also called "every A&R's worst nightmare" due to her notorious reputation for turning down record deals and butting heads with industry stalwarts.

      Don't Go to Commercial

      Posted by Shemuses

      Have you heard the good news? If not, let me be the first to tell you. BET has FINALLY gotten the ol' Don Imus treatment. That's right. Some major sponsors have pulled advertisements from BET, due to the gratuitous violence, profanity and obscenity on some of the cable network's programs, according to a report in the Chicago Defender.

    • GM, Procter & Gamble Pull Ads on BET

      Posted by Shemuses

      Media watchdogs are declaring it a victory. Black Entertainment Television hasn't said much, and advertisers are mum. What is clear, though, is that at least two top advertisers--automaking giant General Motors and consumer goods manufacturer Procter & Gamble--have pulled ads from BET's Rap City and 106 & Park programs.

      The Moment Men’s Fashion | The New Black

      Posted by Shemuses from Themoment.blogs.nytimes

      Italy is not a country that is known for its tolerance or its embrace of multi-culturalism, and yet, all of a sudden the runways in Milan are crowded with black models. (I say black and not African-American because most of them were in fact recruited from France and England.) The news of an entire "black issue" of Italian Vogue photographed by Steven Meisel is still fresh in the American press. Both Guy Trebay and our own New York Times fashion critic Cathy Horyn have gone far to bring to our attention the lack of ethnic diversity on the fashion runways, in advertising campaigns and in editorial pages of magazines.

    wow. the police look into the house, see them using drugs and arrest them. them there is hard core drug enforcement policy. i feel a lot safer knowing that Steven is locked up and in the criminal justice system.

    America’s Porn Culture -- Corporate drive for profits is damaging girls

     Our whole culture has become sexualized, and the demand is equally on men as well as women.  While this may not be healthy, I don’t think it’s particularly new- think back to the 70s, "free love"- the argument that the sexualization of our culture is a result of the porn industry strikes me as poorly rationalized and uninformed.

    Nothing remarkable. I have worked in the hospitality industry most of my life. My interests tend to be of things spiritual, about science, the fringes of knowledge, chess, and computer programming to name a few.
