In the second segment of the Clean Energy Economy Stakeholder Briefing with Youth Leaders, top White House staff on clean energy hold a live online breakout session via Facebook.
How do racism, sexism, homophobia, and capitalism work together to systemically attack the integrity of Black life and culture? Activist, author, and organizer Ewuare X. Osayande presented Manufacturing Hip Hop Culture: Racism, Sexism, and America at Ithaca College in May 2008. His lecture highlighted the history of Africans on Turtle Island and the impact of marketing masculinity through hip hop on Black youth. Afterward, he stopped by Guerrilla Griots Human Rights Media Arts Center to meet up with Green Guerrillas and share his work as an activist for social change through his organization POWER (People Organized Working to Eradicate Racism). We had a great time exchanging information, comparing community organizing strategies, and learning more about his views on race, class, gender, religion, war, the environmental movement, and globalization.

Johnny was a normal boy living a normal life. He was getting good grades. He even got himself a girlfriend. He didn't want to go beyond a simple, suburban destiny. Then, one day, Baron X appeared. A monster from the dark dimension of Batlantis, Baron X had plans to spread his influence over the Earth, and Johnny -- transformed via his experimental Roboizer into Johnny Robo -- is all that stands between Baron X and victory. Armed with his Robo Kick and Robo Beam, Johnny Robo hacks and slashes his way through Baron X's army of Monsteroid minions to free the future from Batlantian control. Wherever there's a demon stealing a wet floor sign, Johnny Robo will be there. Wherever there's a gremlin picking his nose, Johnny Robo will be there. Wherever there's a devil rigging an election, Johnny Robo will be there. A comedic tragedy, Johnny Robo is a parody of and tribute to comic books and cartoons on both sides of the Pacific. With nods to everything from Power Rangers and Masked Rider to Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, it's vaudevillian potpourri that looks like it was made by some college kids who should have been studying instead of playing with a camera -- and, well -- it was.
