We Agree with this video – No More Booty Shots in 2011 This past week a story kept popping up on our radar – the murder of a young Nigerian woman named Claudia Aderotimi.

    • Colorlines presents Buju's assets safe for now posted at Jamaica Gleaner :: Lead Stories, saying, "Prosecuting attorneys in the United States are yet to say if they will be going after the assets owned by convicted reggae superstar Buju Banton. The Gleaner was unable to get a comment from the prosecutors yesterday, more than 24 hours after a 12-member jury found Buju guilty on three of four drug-related charges. But lawyers in the US disagree about whether the state has any grounds on which to go after Buju's assets."

    Black History

    • Colorlines presents It's 1968 All Over Again, and King's Fight For Unions Is Still Essential posted at Colorlines, saying, "In light of the clash of wills in Wisconsin, we should remember the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. One of King’s slogans that we rarely hear is this one: “all labor has dignity.” King spoke these words in Memphis on March 18, 1968, in the midst of a strike of 1,200 black sanitation workers that had lasted over a month. After rousing them to a fever pitch, King called for a general strike by all workers to shut the city down on behalf of the sanitation workers. What was the demand of these workers? Improved wages and benefits, yes, but their key demand was that the City of Memphis grant collective bargaining rights and the collection of union dues, without which they knew they could not maintain their union. These are the very two items that Wisconsin’s Gov. Scott Walker wants to take away from public employees. He knows, as did Mayor Henry Loeb in Memphis, that if you can kill union bargaining rights and dues collection, you can kill the union."
    • P O D 3 1 3 Tech Tips presents Hello Egypt ? can you hear us ? posted at P O D 3 1 3 Tech Tips, saying, "Where there is a need there will be someone to supply it. in this case it’s our old friends Anonymous. they’ve taken the task to heart this time and are helping Egyptians Find Internet Access during the government switch off. This is from this mornings’ Current.com Anonymous Internet Users Team Up To Provide Communication Tools For Egyptian People “Internet not working, police cars burning,” sent out one Egyptian. “Today marks a great day for Egypt,” sent out another."
    • Recycled Frockery presents Talk About Green ? Egyptian protesters improvising helmets posted at Recycled Frockery, saying, "This is an absolute manifestation of genius in the moment of need. these folks are protecting their heads from the wounds we’ve seen in the past two days in Independence Square. mostly nasty gashes and scalp lacerations. these certainly look like they’d protect and allow the wearer to sustain less damage in a direct hit."

    Black Music

    • Jamaica Gleaner presents Strong fusion at Jonkanoo Lounge - Poetry, singing and deejaying bring delight posted at Jamaica Gleaner :: Lead Stories, saying, "In its second outing in three years, The Joseph Current Show turned in a strong showing at the Jonkanoo Lounge, Wyndham hotel, New Kingston, on Saturday. With poetry at its core and the person for whom the over two-hour presentation is named doing the bulk of the verse and also introducing his guests, The Joseph Current Show balanced poetry, singing and deejaying in an engaging package before a substantial audience."

    Black Art


    • Jamaica Gleaner presents Banksy Transforms Migrant Road Sign into DREAM Crossing posted at Colorlines, saying, "British street artist Banksy is back. And so are repurposed versions of the iconic yellow traffic signs with a silhouetted family that line roads near the U.S.-Mexico border in California. The first signs popped up near Camp Pendleton in San Diego, CA, the site of dozens of accidents where immigrants attempting to enter the country by crossing an interstate highway were struck by motorists. The signs show three silhouettes sprinting across the frame — a father figure leading the way for his wife and daughter. They look like they’re running so fast that they’re leaning forward as if they were mid flight and about to take off in to the air. Now Banksy has given the road signs new meaning by adding a kite to the design."


    • Recycled Frockery presents Talk About Green ? Egyptian protesters improvising helmets posted at Recycled Frockery, saying, "This is an absolute manifestation of genius in the moment of need. these folks are protecting their heads from the wounds we’ve seen in the past two days in Independence Square. mostly nasty gashes and scalp lacerations. these certainly look like they’d protect and allow the wearer to sustain less damage in a direct hit."

    Blacks in Government


    • ColorOfChange.org presents ColorOfChange.org | Justice for Mayor Higginbotham posted at Color Of Change, saying, "Bobby Higginbotham, mayor of Waterproof, LA, started making policies intended to bring the town more revenue and give it more control over police matters. In doing so, Higginbotham made mistakes, but he didn't commit any crimes. But District Attorney James Paxton took advantage of the errors to arrest Higginbotham on 44 trumped-up charges and install a political ally in his place."
    • Recycled Frockery presents Lets Make This a Green Year Mr President posted at Recycled Frockery, saying, "Ever Wish you could be there for a give away ? well this one was a sure winner. people lined up to turn in food to a canned good drive in droves. in exchange for what you ask ? What else Pot."
