Nas is cold on this one and it's a great illustration. Barack is bringing hope on a profound level.

The hell with rap, this is HIP HOP baby.

1. As good a place as any, I suppose...

<br>
given this post's title, to post a link to my latest essay. I'd reprint it here as a stand alone, but haven't been active enough yet...

"The American Stain"

An essay inspired by Douglas A. Blackmon's "Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of African Americans between the Civil War and World War II."

2. Thanks. Limelight!

Loved the video! Haven't felt so much hope since I voted for Shirley Chisholm in 1972! We need BHO!

5. Groups like this one will be the mechanism that gets out the black
