New Podcast at BlackWeb 2.0
Filed under: Black Blogger Postings, Blog Entries, Business, Technology
Now I’m not trying to take any listeners from my podcast, but I did want to let you know of a new show at BlackWeb 2.0. It’s their first episode where they interview Rocky Williform, CEO of StreetCred Media Group. They talk with Rocky about his new social networking group which targets the hip hop culture in an effort to bring about dialouge between the real fans of hip hop. They also talk about the future of StreetCred and how he came up with the idea behind the website.
The best thing about this interview is you don’t have to be a tech enthusiasts to enjoy it. They also talked with Rocky about how he was able to fund the project, his business philosophy and how he developed a business model around his idea. If you are an entrprenuer (or wanting to be one), there’s definitely some good information in it for you. If you check out Rocky’s bio, you’ll see this brotha is definitely about business. I like his mindset and you can tell in the interview that he is well-versed in what it takes to run a successful business. Check it out and let me know what you think.

16 Year-Old Girl Arrested Over Cake Crumbs
Filed under: Black Blogger Postings, Blog Entries, Community, Society & Culture
I have to admit most of of the black blogger posts I highlight are probably from the Villager and this is no exception. Here’s another story we need to be watching which involves the assault/arrest of a 16 year-old African-American girl by a school security guard in Palmdale, CA. The incident was over her dropping a piece of cake on the floor during an event and not picking it all up. The guard confronted her, handcuffed and slammed her on the table breaking her wrist in the process. Due to some quick thinking by one of the students (who was later arrested) the ordeal was recorded on a cell phone and given to the local news station. There’s more to the story and I ask that you check it out because this is just an inkling of what’s happening in our society.
I try to keep from throwing the race card without knowing all the facts. But even if I kept it in my pocket, you still have to admit the guard was in the wrong. No matter how much you dress it up BS still stinks and this young girl is now expelled from school over some cake crumbs on the floor. Something isn’t right and I hope the community and the school are making the necessary moves to get this issue resolved. Villager, thanks for making us aware of this story.
