colin powell endorses barack obama for president.

general colin powell breaks down his reasoning for endorsing barack “barry from soul train” obama. very logical thought process if you ask me. he kinda got rocked, because he already donated money to the mccain campaign, but still. FYI: around 4:35 he raises an excellent point about barack’s supposed muslim ties, and 8:45 he tackles a question about blacks voting for blacks because they’re…black. interesting responses throughout.

my question to you all: how big of a move is this that colin powell has come out, 2 weeks before the election, to co-sign young barry obama? huge? minimal? do you even care!? and do you mind if i throw that clip of barry on soul train back up? thanks.

give it to me, whatcha say!

the best rapper alive performing “minority report” off kingdom come acapella at DC’s kennedy center for the annual “thisday” festival. this year, the festival’s theme, “africa rising,” was devoted to finding sustainable solutions rather than on the problems facing the continent. john legend, tyson beckford, and models that i don’t give two damns about were also in the buliding. more pics and info over at DC fab.
