The Hip Hop and R&B community are a major presence in the lives of minority youth. If the youth all voted the BET awards could swing elections.

I had a Puerto Rican H.S. student comment last month that she didn't know who Obama was but I'm sure she knows who P.Diddy is.

I truly believe SHELLACKuhBAMMA is beginning to think he is God. I would like to be there when he stands before God and has to explain why he was such a treacherous BUTTWIPE. Will he take his turban off before he goes into the fiery pit or must it be ripped from his screaming head? Will he jump or must he be pushed? Is there a special angel who is assigned to cast SHELLACKuhBAMMA into the fire or can I help? Is it ok to laugh when his behind starts to roast or do we just cover and snicker. SHELLACKuhBAMMA has proved himself to be the living tuhrrrdd of the galaxy and those who worship his FOULLASZZ will discover that the True God is not pleased with all this Giraffe King nonsense. sho nuff

I was proud to see rappers giving a shout out to Obama. So many young people know who rappers are, yet don't know anything about the political process. Maybe the recognitiion will make them at the least google his name and get involved and become more aware.

An even greater bonus, was all the free publicity Obama got, and he wasn't even there. And the most touching moment was when Marvin Sapp sang, I've Made It and they had pictures up behind him of all the blacks that have paved the way for us and at the end they had a picture of Sen. Obama and Michelle Obama, it was touching and I couldn't help but cry. It was surreal.

Good Fob Farai! (Not Post)

Your interview of Zimbabwe's Ambassador to the U.N. Machivenyika Mapuranga was excellent. If I had a award, and especially for the future of Black/Africa information involuting their future, you would get a award from me or organization! What the Ambassadsor said was very insightful, and showed the real struggle going on in Zimbabwe and Africa. Also this person showed great intelligence, and a grasp of political global economic machinations towards Black Africa by "West" and leaders of Israel
(no one agrees with the beating of coarse) But it's good to see that some Africans are standing up, and want dignity and a real Africa not a emplty
shell that is really only helping Europe etc. -att photo-

Oh Emira Woods?? Not a fan and I'm being kind.

Also tried to replay the broadcast and NPR wouldn't let the two African segment play. I'm attaching a photo (so you can se yourself) of NPR media play and the playlist that would only repeat and load all but the two Africa show below: Zimbabwe and Mandela. NPR's Mossad? Tongue in cheek; but not completely.

-att photo- Shows in question below. (Good Job!)
