Barack Obama: The Internet is about equality

Not the most informed statement on the issue, but it seems like an honest promise to preserve net neutrality.

He must have listened to my podcast on Net Neutrality.

One Love. One II.

P.S. 10 Questions is hot. Big ups to Afro-Netizen and BlackProf for participating.

The Jena 6 pt 2: The return of Blackface

Cross-posted on the Brave New Films Blog.

A group of University of Louisiana at Monroe students thought it'd be funny to act out one of the un-funniest things to happen in the last 2 years.

Regardless of how you feel about the legality/outcome of the Jena 6 situation, this is pretty twisted. It isn't funny to act out someone getting beat up. It also isn't funny to act out threatening someone with a noose. It also isn't funny to do it all in a mud-wrestling outfit that looks eerily similar to blackface (funny how the kid getting beat up didn't have on mudface, for all those who think the mud doesn't represent anything).

Facebook is great, isn't it? That's where we found all this.
