RUTH Minista Paul Scott ~
March 3, 1991. What started off as just another case of a brotha gettin' beat
down by the Po Po, would set off a chain of events that would forever change
the socio-political dynamics of America, especially for the Hip Hop
generation.
Although, they beating of Rodney King by four Los Angeles police officers
happened 20 years ago, the shock waves from the event are still being felt
today. To grasp the gravity of the situation one has to look at it in
historical terms.

The American Beast in the Middle East
When we examine the deep structure of events in North Africa and the Middle East, we must come to understand that America is the primary reason the oppressive regimes in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman have continued their wickedness for decades. It is billions in America military aid that has gone to stem internal threats rather than external. Many of these nations have participated in American sta

Obama’s politically manufactured bottom up change ‘rhetoric’ has ricocheted back on to the USA imperial greedy capitalist society and its zionist colony. It is a royal irony that peoples of Africa and its Arab Peninsula, rather than the American bottom classes, are realizing Mr. Obama's ‘bottom up change’ seriously.

Balancing on the precipice of Ockham’s Razor, the world debates on whether or not it should intervene in the Libyan crises. As we debate, a tyrant continues to bombard his citizens, but the question is can or should we –particularly in America – be doing something. Similar debilitating discussions in America’s past to include Rwanda, Sudan, or Bosnia –resulted in embarrassed silence, isolation, and ultimately inaction. Now, faced with the potential for massive civilian de

The year is 2011, alarmed by the rising level of negativity in Hip Hop....

In many instances the cost for a week’s all inclusive holiday can be little m
