(WGBH) “Essentially, one of the macro-narratives of hip-hop culture in the early 90s was this kind of pushback against Reaganomics, this pushback against what we now call the 1 percent, kind of Trump-ism and individuals who were able to make a whole lot of money on the backs of individuals ... I think Tupac nailed this.” More
“The irony about this clip is that it could have been any of the hip-hop artists during the early 90s,” Price said. “Essentially, one of the macro-narratives of hip-hop culture in the early 90s was this kind of pushback against Reaganomics, this pushback against what we now call the 1 percent, kind of Trump-ism and individuals who were able to make a whole lot of money on the backs of individuals without turning around and trying to give assistance or give help or acknowledge that there were other people in the world. I think Tupac nailed this.” - See more at: https://news.wgbh.org/2016/05/09/boston-public-radio-podcast/all-revved-tupac-shakurs-message-donald-trump#sthash.rjTXLTLM.dpuf

Trump: World's smallest violin, Tupac.
WHO KILLED TUPAC? The origin of this post was yesterday's episode of The World (pri.org) about the various "Tupacs" killed by Colonialists (European enslavers of Native Americans, which included blacks). Tupac Shakur took his name from this lineage. But for some strange reason Marco Werman at PRI has not posted the segment 24 hours later.
 
Forget the latest diet fad — here's a class that teaches how to eat better with traditional African dishes
(PRI's The World, May 18, 2016) Leonard Tshitenge grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo eating food from the region. But, now living in the US, the dishes he remembers aren't served anywhere. So he and his wife, who is from Nigeria, decided to teach Americans how to eat like they did back home.

Crisis of ineffective and occasionally murderous policing

(W. Kamau Bell, CNN) Summary: A federal grand jury indicted white SC police officer Michael Slager on charges of violating the civil rights of black citizen Walter Scott, a 50-year-old man pulled over in North Charleston by Slager for a broken tail light last April. After Slager pulled Scott over, Scott ran -- fearing arrest or being brutalized or killed -- because he was afraid of getting killed by a cop.

Officer Slager then shot eight bullets at Scott's back hitting him in the back five times, killing him, then attempted to set him up by placing a stun gun next to his corpse. It would have worked except a bystander filmed it. Irony is nowhere near deep enough a word for this. Michael Slager is being charged with a federal crime... Killer ex-NC cop indicted
