مارتن لوثر كينغ والثورة المصرية (Martin Luther King and the Egyptian Revolution)

Interesting Article over at the Comics Alliance site about the distribution of a long forgotten Comic Book about MLK and its affects on the activist community.

Black on Black Hate

Other than the brutality of the attack on Nadin Khoury, and the subsequent media attention one of the more disturbing part of this story (which fortunately seems like it will have a happy ending); is the Intraracial Hatred shown towards Africans.

R.I.P. BRIAN JACQUES

Over This Weekend Brian Jacques the author of the Redwall Series passed away.

Some of the most memorable things I enjoyed about the Redwall series were:


Martin the Warrior's epic quote and puzzle, "I am that is, my sword shall yield for me."

The country charm of the Abbey where our peaceful mouse heroes lived,

Cluny the Scourge's violent and relentless siege of The Abbey
(all of Brian Jacques villains were pretty well crafted. The unpredictable, crazy, King Bull Sparra. Korvuss Skuur the ominous raven, whose advisor was a snake on top of his head, who whispered evil into his ear. Slagar the harlequin masked Fox with the deformed face, who kidnaps the children of Redwall to sell as slaves. Asmodeus The Serpent, who made a creepy promise of showing his victims peace and Paradise, before eating them)

The battle Frenzy of the Badgers,

and the vivid scent of food.

I have joked that Redwall was the only thing I ever read that made British food sound appetizing.

The Abbey feast of Nutbread, Lemon and Butter Trout, Leek Soup, Scones with Meadow Cream, Oat Cakes, Rose Pudding, Dandelion Wine, and many other dishes, intrigued me as a reader and you could almost taste his descriptions.

So vivid was his imagery that he actually inspired fans to create the many recipes that he listed in his novels.

Part of the reason for this vivid description of the taste and scent of food, was that Brian Jacques when he worked delivering milk, had a School for blind kids along his route. He used to entertain the kids by telling them stories that would become the Basis for Redwall. He placed a heavy emphasis on describing the smell and taste of food because it was something them being blind, could relate to.

Thanks for the memory Brian Jacques you will be missed.

A Long Time Ago in a Project Far Away.......

Johnny Come Lately/Negro Por Favor Coon of the Year Nominee

Every Year someone will do something that automatically nominates them for Coon of the Year. Vybz Kartel pulled a move that puts him in top position for Coon of the Year, and no matter what anyone does in the next 10 Months they'll have to try really hard to knock him from his spot.

If you haven't seen Vybz Kartel “Cosmetic Makeover well...............

While bad the SMH towards Vybz isn't just for the bleaching of his skin, but for his “defense” of it.

If Vybz “Cake Soap” is the same one that I used growing up, And if the "AC "is the same cooling unit millions of black people use, I'm pretty sure they don't do that to the skin (BTW, I don't think you can blame the Ashy Lips on Cake Soap Either.)

To Compare Skin Bleaching to Tanning, when in most cases the motivation is usually very different, is spectacularly mind numbingly dumb. Showing that you have leisure time to spend at beach\afford a tanning booth ≠ being ashamed of dark skin, or believing that dark skin will hold you back in life. You don't have to believe me, most skin bleaching commercials, and people who bleach come right out and say it.

COMPARE THESE TANNING COMMERCIALS:

TO ADS ABOUT SKIN LIGHTENING:

AND THE EFFECTS OF SKIN LIGHTENING ON BROWN/DARK SKINNED PEOPLE:

TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE IS VYBZ NEW VIDEO:

Other than the obvious jokes about not knowing the Crypt Keeper was a Yardie, I feel sorry for his fans who admired him, to discover he has feet of clay (bleached, yet probably still ashy feet of clay.)

To tell people self improvement messages raises the skeptical eyebrow, when your lack of confidence in your own appearance and God given melanin is staring them back in the face. To say this is not a good look is the understatement of the century.

Interesting article over at TheRoot.Com, which talks about the Afro American response (or lack of ) to the events in North Africa's Egypt and Tunisia.
