On Latin Zimmerman's

Riddle me this...

It's not that many Latin Zimmerman's...#AJS (Akinyela Just Sayin')

iiFux with Tim Wise...
"However much has changed in the U.S. since the 1960s, or for that matter the 1860s, make note of it that at least this much has not: black folks are still, in the eyes of far too many whites, a problem to be addressed, a riddle to be solved. "-Tim Wise (TimWise.org, March 21, 2012)

If You Want Them To Learn, Put It In A Text Message

I'm not depressed or surprised by this. There is usually a generation gap between teachers and students. Today's technology widens this gap at a faster rate than ever.

Young people are learning more than ever about the information that they want to know about, a luxury that generations before were not privy to on a large scale.

The children are showing us how they want to learn. We can't get upset if it's different than the way we want to teach.
You see that? That's the face of a kid who just learned something, delighted by its presentation (i.e., the computer).

"The most depressing comments in the report came from teachers -- those dealing with the AO generation day in and day out -- who almost universally bemoan the loss of attention span and ability to think critically in their students."

Fire...(Not That One, The Other One)

this effs my head up cuz iiJust started working on a Bruce Springsteen song that was covered by Babyface and Des'ree...and iiReally enjoy playing and listening to the song...

How does this make you feel about your taste in music and the effect it has on how you see your 'group' compared to other 'groups'?

 

Does listening to rock make you racist? Seven minutes of Bruce Springsteen makes students favour white people over others




 

Now iiFeel like iiShould go on a Wu-Tang listening binge...

Curious George...

" And it was on the radio! You couldn’t get Too Short songs on the radio back in the early days. But now I’m saying “Shake That Monkey” – the song is literally saying shake your vagina – and it gets played on the radio. C’mon man. " - Too Short, on his own contribution to imbalance in mainstream hip-hop (Too Short Says There Was An Industry-Wide Plot To Shut Down Conscious Hip Hop; 2012: Paul W Arnold, Hip Hop DX)
