[Video] Ad Company to Pull Race-Tinged NYC Anti-Abortion Billboard

Watch that video then read this for the background context:

“A Manhattan billboard displayed over Sixth Avenue in SoHo has sparked an intense controversy, and displays yet another instance of racist tactics employed against a woman’s right to choose. The billboard shows an image of a young African-American girl; the text reads: “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb.” Below the text is a link to a website.

The group behind the billboard, Life Always, said that it was timed to coincide with Black History Month, and will be part of a nationwide campaign. On their website, they say that the campaign is designed to raise awareness about abortion’s impact on the “sustainability” of the African-American population. Their goal is “to expose the truth about how Planned Parenthood targets minority neighborhoods as they perform over 300,000 abortions a year.””

Are y’all f-cking KIDDING me?? Michel Faulkner, you and your Life Always group should be ashamed of yourselves for this noxious, racially-charged act of irresponsibility. *Smdh….*

[Music Video] JayKin – Japan Love

Know nothing about this Vancouver MC but apparently he learned his seemingly fluent Japanese from regular visits there (hence this song, d’uh!). Someone who’s done something more productive than just buying sneakers, rare vinyl and unreleased-in-N. America electronics while visiting the Land of the Rising Sun (do people still even use that phrase to describe Japan??!) although this track is from his forthcoming new Sneakers and Video Games mixtape which may belie my prior assumptions!
