Questions- I’m just askin’

1) Isn’t WorldStarHipHop just the digital equivalent of BET?

2) Speaking of which, why does Riff Raff (of from G’s to Gents) fame have more videos on there than Kat Stacks? And folks call her a whore for attention….

3) How come Boondocks used to have multi-layered critiques of Black culture and now it just makes obvious jokes?

4) Why is our mascot the pimp and no longer the panther?

5) How come you’re a microwave activists? (You know, the folks who weren’t political then something happens and they get all heated and over do it because they weren’t doing anything before)

6) Why don’t you bring me to your University or Organization to speak and spit hot fiyah?

7) Why do you assume because I tweet or blog I’m not writing academic material?

8 ) Why can I feel BP slipping out of the media spotlight?

9) Why did the War in Afghanistan slip out of the spotlight despite being the longest war in US history?

10) Why would you rather sit in obedience than stand in resistance?

    Why they assume you not an activist because you write period? Why they assume you are not actively educating youth in the ways our communities need them to be because you are a professor? Why when you ask why people don’t reply? All they do is dis…tract themselves with the politics as usual because exploring why leads down a road of action.

    Why we don’t make a distinction between actively working to help our people cope with oppression versus actively working toward liberation and independence? I think that why can answer a lot of whys.
