Sallyjune approved of this, watched it all the way through twice now, once as chingalera-Jack Johnson was the SHIT!

Fare thee well Titanic, fare thee well.

^(line from one of the many blues ballads written about the ill-fated Titanic..
"They wouldn't let ol' Jack Johnson on board, they said, 'this ship don't haul no coal..'

Listen, I'm not super anal about this type of stuff, as long as a sincere attempt is made to adhere to the guidelines.

What I am trying to avoid is defining Africans by what others have done to them, rather than what they have themselves done. I think this may be a little subtle, but it's an important line.

So a vid about people wantonly murdering african americans would not quality. A vid about african american(s) fighting against racism would qualify.

I would accept the MLK video, given his unquestionable social/cultural impact.Edit: Also the MLK vid would qualify under history and politics of the african diaspora.>> ^NetRunner:

Just out of curiosity, who are "diaspora members" in this context?


So a video extolling the contributions of African-Americans to America's history would be appropriate for Africa, but a video of, say, MLK talking about the nature of the bigotry aimed at African-Americans is not?
Or maybe the latter would go in both Africa and equality?
Just trying to think ahead to the kinds of cases that will wind up coming before the Siftpreme Court.

I've watched hundreds of fights and this is the only time i think I could have kicked either one of their asses. seriously, i'm a big ole wuss, but come on. I've also seen early footage of Jack Johnson, so i know technique and power were around then. Given all that, this is pretty hilarious, so upvote from me!
