QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

- Fred Wilson

"Most of my fortitude to continue doing the work comes from the moral outrage I feel about the injustices that Black people endure disproportionately daily."

- N. Abdul-Wakil

"In the end, what matters is not skin shade but pan-African consciousness. Loving your complexion, your nose, lips, hair length and texture, no matter what the politics or trends decide, and simply be. That's the problem with us (African folks). We're still learning how to love ourselves. So used to glorifying others and putting others first..."

Jim Kelly Is Black Belt Jones And More...
4 Film Favorites: Urban Action Collection
Definitely A Childhood Hero Of Mine From Da 1970s

New Urban Action Collection DVD Release
Starring My Boyhood Hero Jim Kelly

DOOOOUUUUUUUUUHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Rejoice y'all! On the FUN side, I'm happy to announce that Warner Bros just released (January 12th, 2010) the Urban Action Collection on DVD which is part of their 4 Film Favorites series of DVDs.

This particular set of films feature: Belt Black Jones (1974) , Hot Potato (1976), and Three The Hard Way (1974) all star my childhood Black (martial arts) hero Jim Kelly; the other film Black Samson (1974), which I never heard of, is also featured. You can pick up this 4 film set DVD for like $13 to $15 duckets at Amazon.com. A bargain. And the films are remastered and letterboxed. ( I HATE the term widescreen; I'm old school from the laserdisc days! Yo' heard!)

Anyway, not gonna type much more here other than to say that Black Belt Jones and Three The Hard Way are winners. Hot Potato unfortunately is not a good film. In fact, it's rather horrendous and wasn't funny! The following pics are from Black Belt Jones, which a campy FUN film. I also found and embedded below the opening film fight sequence and the ending film fight sequence from YouTube.

So, chill a while on Nubian Knights Network and watch a few minutes and have FUN.

Lata y'all... DOOOOUUUUUUUUUHHHH!!!!!!!!!
