Tom Porter, long-time activist, educator and radio host (Jazz and Justice, Mondays 1-3p WPFW) joined the show this week with Head-Roc, “The Mayor of DC Hip-Hop.” We all talked about the boundaries of Black allegiance to the state and its constraints on options considered for making change. We talked about the recent upheaval blamed on YouTube and racist film-making, the history of anti-Arab media, measuring the “evil” in the Obama electoral option (“lesser” or “effective”) and the future of Black American politics. All this plus some great music and calls in the edition of The Super Funky Soul Power Hour.
