December 6th, 2009 admin Refreshing and enlightening conversation with filmmaker and activist Byron Hurt on his renowned documentary on male identity in hip hop “Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes”. The film deconstructs hip hop as it relates to African American culture and consciousness, and it illustrates the elements of violence, misogyny and homophobia that are often endemic in this cultural form.

Fall of Rome vs Failure of American Politics, Economy pt 2
Part 1 first! www.youtube.com Crumbling domestic infrastructure. A bored, undisciplined population, demanding ever more wasteful and outrageous entertainments. Production exported to less developed countries, who then demand a share of the productivity. Rampant inflation eroding purchasing power. Democracy devolving into a totalitarian, repressive state. Division of the population into segments of extreme wealth and poverty. Hard work and merit no longer provide social mobility. Demands by other countries for self-determination and shared wealth are interpreted as a threat to super-power control. The flow of goods and resources is ensured by faltering military campaigns. Rebellion of subject nations, as the benefits of membership in the empire disappear. Sound familiar? Watch this video and compare it to the evening news. No? Maybe I’m mistaken. Discovery Military Channel ran a three episode documentary on ancient Rome. This is part 2 of a summary of “The Fall of Rome” episode.
