After the discussion with Mr. Walker, we should be joined by regular contributor Kwabena Rasuli of “Clear The Airwaves Project” to continue our long running discussion on the corporate sponsorship of the violent and misogynist music piped into the Black communities that violence on a daily basis. When we talk about the often used excuse of cops fearing Black people, like Mr. Rasuli has stated, they probably get their negative images of Black men, women and children from the corporate media which 90% of is controlled by six media corporations.
