There have only been three interviews in my life that I was excited to see this is number 4. Rev. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson is going to interview Floyd Mayweather on HBO in April. Dr. Dyson former Professor of Harvard and Univ. Penn and is at Georgetown Univ. will do a great job. He is from Detroit and this man does not ask easy questions. His debate with Dr. Cornell West was OUTSTANDING. I wonder what kind of questions will be asked. I hope Floyd take this opportunity to really show Floyd Mayweather and not the personality. I am sure Dr. Dyson will ask him about his jail sentence, relationship with his dad and other hot topics. Who ever thought of this gets two thumbs way up.

the truth of the matter is that the civil rights movement paved the way for hip hop. we live in a time where the circumstances are dramatically different. i'm not all convinced that the civil rights movement was as great as some portray it to be. sure, many things have changed and paved the way for african americans to operate and function in an unsegregated society but that has happened at the cost of black business. before the civil rights movement, black folk had many businesses in their own communities. banks, insurance companies, stores...etc..etc. all black owned and operated. since then...black dollars have left black communities and have not found their way back. that to me is the travesty in it all. aside from that...there is no denying that the movement paved the way for hip hop. what is sickening to me is how plenty of rappers have had a voice and connection with the masses and have pissed it away because they didn't have the understanding or knowledge to lead the ppl.
