[Video] An Obama Impersonator Entertains a GOP ‘Leadership’ Gathering

Besides a lot of really lame jokes, does this dude even really look like Obama?? Maybe if he went on an all-ice cream diet for a month and started wearing make-up! But is this racist like Think Progress claims?

[Music Video] Kreayshawn – Gucci Gucci

MP3 stream (no download): Kreayshawn – Gucci Gucci by djtwostacks

I asked about this chick on twitter last night. Three days ago I had never even heard of her but since then I can’t seem to escape her! They’re even playing her on Dallas urban station K104. The fact that a total non-music industry friend of mine just sent me the video yesterday too only confirms this is probably going to be a massive hit (it already is by viral standards). A ream of essays about race, gender and cultural apporpriation issues could probably be written about this song, video and the ‘White Girl Mob’ her and her sister, V Nasty claim to rep and I’m sure they will be. I suggest my friend, Del be one of the first to begin that dialogue because he certainly has an opinion or two about them!

[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….*
