What is REALLY going on with Mainstream Media's Portrayal of Black People & the Hip-Hop Generation in General? Some Good Info...

As I'm sure most people know, the state of Black people's portrayals in media (whether via consistent negative portrayals in the mainstream media aka MSM, the lack of People of Color who own or are employed different forms of media outlets, some actual Black-Owned outlets just straight up slacking, etc.) is at a modern day low. Whether via TV, magazines, radio or newspapers, fewer people have the access to a medium that is supposed to represent them & multiple viewpoints. Why does it seem that you hear the same songs, see [...]

BlackRadioIsBack.com Video: Democracy Now - "Naomi Klein Issues Haiti Disaster Capitalism Alert: Stop Them Before They Shock Again"

BlackRadioIsBack.com Video: Democracy Now - "Naomi Klein Issues Haiti Disaster Capitalism Alert: Stop Them Before They Shock Again" Good Morning BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast family, I saw this episode of Democracy Now! with a very insightful interview with author Naomi Klein ( The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism - an EXCELLENT book) and had to share it with everyone, especially since the points to me are so valid. What IS going to happen once the first recovery efforts are complete in Haiti and it is time to rebuild (and possibly finally build some solid infrastructure)? We've seen time [...]

BlackRadioIsBack.com Says Whut? People Already Showing Their A** About The Situation In Haiti :-/

BlackRadioIsBack.com Says Whut? People Already Showing Their A** About The Situation In Haiti :-/ When I first got this link via the FuseBox Radio/BlackRadioIsBack.com Twitter account barely 12 hours into the tragedy going on over in Haiti, even my relatively unphased by mainstream media foolishness self was a tad shocked. Pat Robertson hasn't exactly been known for loving People of Color or others outside of his "norm" throughout his career , so ignorant statements on the daily isn't terribly surprising from him or his camp. However, at a time frame when even Fox News calmed down on their partisanship a bit to cover Haiti [...]

BlackRadioIsBack.com Says Whut?: Clear Channel Suing Philadelphia's Black Community For Using The Term "Unity Day" For It's Annual Event

BlackRadioIsBack.com Says Whut?: Clear Channel Suing Philadelphia's Black Community For Using The Term "Unity Day" For It's Annual Event And some people wonder why over there the BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast Family is so for independent media & not for big media groups trying to be all up in everything (especially saying their stations are the only one's who serve a certain community or viewpoint). Props to Josh Stearns for letting us know this info via our Twitter account...SMH at this entire mess: Clear Channel Suing a Community It Serves By Jerry Del Colliano Cumulus CEO Lew [...]

BlackRadioIsBack.com Video: CNN "Black In America 2" Documentary Special Preview Clips

BlackRadioIsBack.com Video: CNN "Black In America 2" Documentary Special Preview Clips Good Afternoon BlackRadioIsBack.com and FuseBox Radio Broadcast crew! Tonight, international cable TV news channel CNN is going to do the premiere airing of their "Black in America 2" documentary series. The first "Black In America" was interesting to say the least. I don't expect ANY TV series to be able to remote cover the entire Black Experience(s) in America and considering it's a mainstream TV channel, thought CNN did an OK try of it. No one's going to be fully pleased by the show, either because the [...]

Race-Based Injustice Still Lives: The Story of Prisoner F95488 Props and respect to the our blogger family from Oh Hell Nawl for letting us here at BlackRadioIsBack.com and the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast to know about this very sad, frustrating and unfortunate story. Legal cases like this make you know that we're nowhere near a "post-racial" America or anything if our supposed legal system can't (or doesn't want to) get things like this in order. Lots of credit is definitely to ESPN for putting out this story to the masses. PLEASE pass on this [...]
