VIDEO: HOW IMPORTANT IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH IN BRITAIN

November 6, 2012

For those of you who don’t know here in Britain Black History Month is “celebrated” in October, so last month UK 360 pounded the streets to find out what the public really think about Black History Month. One young woman featured admits that she couldn’t care less about Black History Month and I wouldn’t expect you to luv. Hahahaha. Rapper Akala is also featured. I simply adore that man. He isn’t afraid to speak the truth on a public forum and talks a lot of sense. The man is no coward. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=CO2qGKNeXts#! … Your thoughts please…..

MOBO AWARDS 2012 – THE WINNERS / MY THOUGHTS

November 4, 2012

The highly anticipated MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards opened with the Jay-Z and Kanye West track ‘Niggas In Paris’ playing in the background (you couldn’t make it up) while a group of female dancers took to the stage and failed to dance in synch with each other in front of a subdued audience. Then came the odd couple, show hosts former T4 presenter Miquita Oliver and actor Adam Deacon who in my opinion just didn’t gel well together. Miquita did her usual sarcastic/patronising presenting style routine […]

VIDEO: BBC BREAKFAST – RACISM IN FOOTBALL (BLACK FOOTBALL PLAYERS UNION)

November 1, 2012

This segment featuring David Neita (Barrister and Campaigner) aired last week on BBC Breakfast. … I was surprised to see former player Les Ferdinand all up in the camera talking so freely about racism in this segment. During his playing days I don’t remember him saying a damn thing about racism in the game when it mattered. Old cockney boy was mute and busy running around with blond TV presenter/IT girl of the 90s Dani Behr. Anyway I like David and admire his passion but does he truly believe that black/mixed race players will publicly support a ‘Black […]

LABRINTH HAS SOME ADVICE FOR THE MOBO AWARDS – SCRAP ‘MUSIC OF BLACK ORIGIN’ CALL IT ‘MUSIC OF URBAN ORIGIN’

October 27, 2012

In an interview with that poor excuse for a newspaper The Daily Star, artist and producer Labrinth says the MOBO Awards (Music of Black Origin) has lost it’s identity followed by: “I think it is a bit weird because Ed Sheeran doesn’t make black music, and neither does Conor Maynard – he makes commercial pop. He added: “Even I’m not making black music. It’s commercial music, but at least it is more related to hip-hop so it makes more sense. I don’t think […]
