Tropic Thunder: Does Anyone Else Have An Issue With This Film?!
Ok, so i went to see the new Batman film on the weekend and saw a trailer for this new film "Tropic Thunder". I don't know how many of you have seen this trailer (or even the movie for that matter), but i had a huge problem with it. My main issue with this film is Robert Downey Jr. playing the role of an actor playing a role in Blackface. Now, admittedly all i have seen is the trailer, so maybe the movie deals with this, but ultimately Blackface is NOT funny. Especially when the script makes, an… Continue

Corinne Bailey Rae: The Sea
Anyone who’s been through a serious loss knows about the baffling part: After it’s over, you are still you. You are you, plus the loss, plus the pain and confusion the loss causes. The process of healing isn’t really a matter of “getting over it” — taking it in is what’s necessary, incorporating what’s been [...]Maxwell: BLACKsummers’ Night
The best way to listen to Maxwell’s new “BLACKsummers’ Night” is with the volume turned all the way up. The R&B artist didn’t take a turn toward heavy metal during the eight years he’s spent between releasing albums; this one, like his previous three, is full of meditative jams written on the continuum between ardor [...]Laura Izibor: Let The Truth Be Told
The Irish diva is soon to go global via her debut album on Atlantic. This album from the young Dubliner was set to be released on Jive Records three years ago, but got shelved. Then, another label, Atlantic, took their time in deciding just when it should see be released. “Let The Truth Be Told” [...]The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes
I believe that children our our future. Most people think Whitney Houston penned the lyrics to the timeless hit “The Greatest Love of All,” or that Randy Watson was the genius behind the words when he led the wildly-famous soul band “Sexual Chocolate.” Actually, the song was originally recorded by George Benson in 1977 for the [...]Must See!!! Robofish to Attack Pollution in UK
Schools of robofish to sniff out pollution in the Thames Schools of robotic fish could be sent into the Thames to produce a 3D pollution map of the river. from Daily Mail UK Researchers at the University of Essex in Colchester are working on the robofish as part of a £2.5million EU-funded project to find new ways of [...]Q&A with Van Jones

Van Jones: Environmental justice is the movement to ensure that no community suffers disproportionate environmental burdens or [...]Outkast To Deliver Two Solo Albums And A Group Effort in 2009!
Outkast To Deliver Two Solo Albums And Another Group Effort in 2009. ‘Y’all gonna get three records from the ‘Kast next year,’ Big Boi says. By Shaheem Reid ATLANTA — Big Boi is getting his second solo album, Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty, back on the good foot. The street-embedded member of Outkast says [...]K’Naan: Straight Outta Mogadishu
Straight Outta Mogadishu Somali-born rapper K’naan on African pirates and the world’s hardest ghetto. —By Eamon Kircher-Allen for Mother Jones K’naan’s music sounds a little like Eminem’s, if Slim Shady had spent his childhood dodging bullets in Somalia’s civil war. The 30-year-old hip-hop artist (born Kaynaan Warsame) grew up on the mean streets of Mogadishu and escaped in [...]“I Want Michelle Obama Arms!”
She’s Pumped. Your Turn. By LIZ ROBBINS THE arms have taken on a life of their own. They have provoked controversy, envy, a bit of backlash, even bad puns about the right to bare them. But enough debate and deconstruction. Now women are talking about construction. “I want Michelle Obama arms,” Julie Eich told her trainer on the [...]Why Biofuels Are the Rainforest’s Worst Enemy
Why Biofuels Are the Rainforest’s Worst Enemy. By Heather Rogers Nestled deep in the tropical rainforest on the island of Borneo, Pareh is a collection of about 60 weathered wooden houses perched on stilts and enfolded by coconut palms, banana trees, and the dappled green overhang of the towering forest. Pareh’s inhabitants belong to the indigenous tribes [...]FEATURED MEMBER!
