It’s been a minute since I’ve done any political posts, so allow me to present you with this piece.
In Feburary, Michael Steele, then newly elected Chairman of the Republican Party, was quoted saying that the Grand Old Party needs an extreme makeover, dripping with “hip-hop”. This leaves the door open for people to say a lot of things. Steven Colbert of The Colbert Report invited Michael Steele to his show, which Steele said he would do, but never appeared. This prompted Colbert to take a aim at Michael Steele.
Last night, Colbert did a “rap battle” with Michael Steele, using clips from previous news reports, chopped up and rolled together to a hip-hop beat that actually sounded kind of good (for a rap battle, not an album). The result, thrown with Colbert’s wit makes this piece a “must feature” over here. 
Enjoy!
I’m pretty sure we all heard the “Diva” song by Beyoncé. So, one can’t help but wonder if Sarah Silverman have a problem with the way the word is used. On a recent episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, Maher made a comment about how Sarah Silverman could be a diva, yet she is not. This prompted Silverman to make a short and yet brief rant about how one shouldn’t call themselves a “diva” and what they are really trying to call themselves.

Aaron McGruder’s YouTube series just released another "Boondocks Bootleg/Super Rumble Mixshow” video. This time, it’s Tubesteak’s exposing Barack Obama. In this short, it’s just Tubesteak (you know, the guy who tells you to buy his Bootleg Boondocks shows) in his lonesome, doing what he does best… sounding like a rapper with beefs. He talks about a point (from a “black urban ghetto” point of view) that deals with Still-President George Bush and how Bush hold his friends down while Obama is picking and choosing carefully, and not picking his friends.
Er, since it’s short, I don’t want to overexpose it, just watch and give me your thoughts.
I only seen one bit of Comedy Central’s Chocolate News. It seem to be a take on Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson’s views of how Black People present themselves. According to some people, Chocolate News didn’t seem to catch on with the audience. DL Hughley Breaks the News seems to not catch on too well either. Seems like when it’s our turn to “fake the news” or parody mainstream news, we seem to take ourselves a bit too seriously.
Hopefully, Aaron McGruder might changed that. A few hours ago, his Boondocks Bootleg channel showcase The Nergo News Brief. It seem to have hit the right formula because it’s most about issues only the streets would care about. However, this does brings up an interesting question: Why do we hold ourselves to extremely high standards when it comes to anything? Only time will tell. In the meantime, enjoy this video.
True Colors – It’s Punk’d & Chris Rock Rolled Into One
Ever wondered what happens if there’s a hidden camera show, but instead of doing practical jokes, it does one based on racism? How would you handle it? Crackle, a Sony owned site, decided to find out with a show called “True Colors”. It’s a show with Dwayne Smith ("Lonely Girl"), Lisa Bohacek and Circle of Confusion serving as executive producers of the series, which is produced by Sony Pictures Television. However, the show is not on TV, but on the Internet: Crackle.com.
