In modern times, we often speak of terrorism coming from those who are not Americans or Christians (9/11 attacks) or from those who are perhaps influenced by foreign extremists who are against the American dream (i.e. Boston Marathon bombing), but Monday we will also remember the domestic terrorism of our past that was often sparked by racism, including the 1963 church bombing in Birmingham, AL, that killed four little girls. Within our general discussion, we will also speak on anti-racist and educator Tim Wise's published essay that explores white privilege in the context of the bombings that took place at the Boston Marathon. Wise states, "White privilege is knowing that even if the Boston Marathon bomber were white, his or her identity will not result in white folks generally being singled out for suspicion by law enforcement, or the TSA, or the FBI."

H. Blu's Word host Stacey Brewer will address the Willie Lynch Theory. The Willie Lynch speech purports to be a verbatim account of a short speech given by a slave owner, in which he tells other slave masters that he has discovered the "secret" to controlling black slaves by setting them against one another. Many believe that his "lessons" are still being followed today, and can be seen in some of today's reality shows like Basketball Wives and Love & Hip Hop. The Lynch speech is a document that has been in print since at least 1970, but first gained widespread notice in the 1990s, when it appeared on the Internet. Show will include a special clip from NFL Hall of Famer, Jim Brown. http://www.hamptonblu.com

Blu's Word, as she addresses the topic, Tyler Perry vs. Spike Lee: Who Better Represents Black Cinema?

We will also play a rare audio clip of Spike Lee actually praising the work of Tyler Perry, the news only plays his negative comment. So definitely tune in, March 1 at 9pm. Should be a good one!
