The Lynching Of Emmett Till: 61 Years Later
Aug 30th
Emmett Till Murder
This past Sunday, August 28th, marked a little over 6 decades since a 14 years-young Amerikkkanized-Afrikan boy named Emmett Till was gruesomely executed in Mississippi by a lynch-mob of jealous, grown-a*$ racists in Mississippi.
The youth allegedly attempted to get the attention of 21 year-old, Carolyn Bryant, a Caucasian female – which according to the insecure racist Caucasoid males from the segregated South during the time of Jim Crow, is a major no-no. Being that Till was visiting from Chicago in the slightly more liberal North, he may have been unaware of the consequences for his innocent actions.
“Violence is as Amerikkkan as cherry pie,” once assessed legendary freedom fighter H. Rap Brown, now known as Imam Jamil Al-Amin.
The woman’s husband, Roy, and his half-brother, J.W. Milan, kidnapped the youth from his great-uncle’s home, took him to a barn, mercilessly beat him, gouging out an eye and shooting him through the head.
His ravaged body was eventually found 3 days later at the bottom of the Tallahatchie River, strapped to a 70 pound cotton gin fan using barbed wire strung around his neck, with his face badly mutilated. The gruesome find was nothing new in the United Snakes Of Amerikkka – ‘Land of the free’, but because it occurred during the onset of the Civil Rights Movement in 1955, the heinous crime outraged many.
At the funeral back in Chicago, his mother, Mammie Till Mobley – despite the horrific features of her deceased son – still insisted on an open-casket funeral in order to display to the world, some of the evils of Amerikkka and the hatred it has towards its formerly enslaved inhabitants. A few hundred thousand attended, and the Black press highly publicized the gruesome images taken at the funeral.
Despite mountains of evidence, as well as credible eye-witness accounts, Bryant and Milan weren’t even indicted, nonetheless tried in court for their crimes.
On the 8th anniversary of Till’s murder, the courageous Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led over a quarter-million people on the ‘March On Washington’ in an effort to display racial solidarity.
Young Emmett Till unwittingly became a sacrifice of the struggle for liberation in the U.S., while at the same time being martyred. His execution was just another incident which displays the cruelty many Amerikkkanized-Afrikans endure in the land of opportunity.

Lil Wayne Closes Out VMAs, Tha Carter IV Released
Aug 30th
As this year’s MTV Video Music Awards came to a close last night (August 28), Young Money honcho Lil Wayne and his show-ending performance was a much discussed topic amongst fans and industry insiders clamoring to discover what exactly would the New Orleans native bring to the VMA stage. The murmurs were hushed finally near the conclusion of the VMAs and although it began slowly, Lil Wayne hyped up the audience by suddenly morphing into full rock star mode.
Starting with his hit rap ballad “How To Love,” Wayne lulled the crowd with his auto-tuned vocals before ramping up the energy to ten with a rock-fueled rendition of his single “John” sans the feature verse from Maybach Music Group boss Rick Ross. Rapping partly over the actual vocals from the track, Lil Wayne dashed madly about the stage while delivering his verses and even jumped into the crowd to salute Ross during the track’s hook.
Fans tuning on to catch Tunechi’s performance took to Twitter, as a bevy of comments continue to pour in hours later. The event had so much fanfare attached to it that even news anchor Katie Couric was caught up in the hype. “Are any of you watching #VMAs? @twitter is buzzing! Need 2 tune in & see my friend @LilTunechi aka Lil Wayne! (“I’m a gangsta, Miss Katie”),” tweeted Couric.
Some critical fans had plenty to say about Lil Wayne’s fashion choice for the performance, with some users going for the jugular. “Lil wayne kinda lost. He’s reaching for two crowds, hood and skater sides. Unfortunately, the hood doesn’t accept zebra pants wearin bloods,” tweeted a disappointed @onBROADWAYst.
However, Wayne had some folks on his side although most comments focused more on his wardrobe than the show itself. “You know Lil Wayne is a badass when he is done performing when he throws down the guitar and mic stand. #realtalk,” tweeted a supportive @bigcov. Fan @iamBabyC gave Wayne props for his performance but still sided with The Throne’s rendition of “Otis” as the tops for the night. “Respects to LIL WAYNE but Like I Said BEST PERFORMANCE –> Kanye West & Jay Z!!!” read his tweet.

Nicki Minaj’s ‘Fly’ Video Debuts, Fans Comment

The 2011 MTV Video Music Awards pre-show tonight offered fans tons of thrills and featured excellent floor work from special guest host Selena Gomez along with seasoned vets Sway Calloway and James Montgomery helping along the way. Among some of the special moments of the pre-show was the debut of Young Money starlet Nicki Minaj and her Rihanna-assisted video for “Fly” – and it appears the video got fans talking in droves on the fast moving social media network Twitter.
Fans dove in from the onset with comments shortly after the conclusion of the clip. “Nicki Minaj look so beautiful in the fly video
,” gushed fan @dawn106allday while an equally excited @Treezy_DuhBoss added, “I Love Nicki Minaj Fly Video! It’s SO AWESOME!” The video had a handful of the requisite critics, although paling in comparison to the approving fans. “[A]lways loved the song..the video didn’t like so much” tweeted a critical @imurMOTIVATION_.
The accolades kept pouring in with adoring comments regarding the video. “Nicki Minaj and Rihanna look really good in the “Fly” video… regal Nicki is the kind of Nick I prefer lol,” said @TREV_ology. Fan @dentdays preferred Rihanna’s look in the video apparently by tweeting, “How Rihanna gone look better in the Fly video, and its Nicki Minaj song? SMH!”
The gloomy Sanaa Hamri-directed video features the pair of beauties in a world that appears to have been devastated by an apocalyptic event. Nicki Minaj also gets to showcase some of her moves and both of the ladies go through a few outfit changes – including Nicki in an all-white bodysuit battling back some ninjas which then turns the destruction happening in their video world into a flowery paradise.
