Hip Hop Censorship and the silencing of Black Voices




DOWNLOAD PODCAST

In Houston, Texas, a public video screening of Kanye West's song "New Slaves" from his album ""Yeezus" set for a June 18th release date, was shut down by Houston police. Several news outlets report that the Friday night screening of the "New Slaves" video at Rothko Chapel in Houston was raided by police and they threatened the crowd that had shown up with arrests if they did not leave the premises.

The crowd which was described as "upbeat" and "respectful" thought the police were part of the showing but soon realized that the new slave patrols were serious about arresting them if they stayed. The Houston "New Slave" patrol police department has yet to explain why they shut down the scheduled watch party of the video.

Join the Militant Mind Movement for another powerful episode of Militant Minded Radio. The topic tonight will be "Hip Hop Censorship and the silencing of Black Voices." This week's hosts are Abena Afreeka (RACISM NON-ANONYMOUS ) and Tricey Martin (Minister of Culture, Hip Hop Liberation Army) and they will tackle the issue of political repression of Black political thought.

Tune in and bring a friend. Hopefully, COINTELPRO agents will not stop the broadcast.
