Greetings, all. There are lots of talks coming up, hosted by
London Black History Walks. I have attended many of these myself, and I highly recommend them.
One I have not attended as yet is "
How to Brainwash the Youth and Make them Act Like Fools". "
An in-your-face seminar aimed at young
adults to illustrate how they are conditioned via Hollywood movies,
music videos, computer games and advertising to act dumb and love it.
This presentation uses popular and mainstream culture combined with a Black history perspective. Scary Movie, Predator, Soulja Boy, Lil
Wayne, Futurama, Disney, 300, GTA, Pussycat dolls, Mariah Carey, Nelly,
Etana, Lord of the Rings, Pirates of Caribbean, Manhunter all make an
appearance." Sounds great. These talks are always full of information and provide an excellent analysis.
For details, see London Black History Walks.
With best wishes,
Zhana
