Video of the Day

October 13, 2009 by Marc Lamont Hill

Today’s video of the day comes from my man Jasiri X. The song, “What’s Peace?”, offers a brilliant analysis of Obama’s Nobel Prize victory in light of the current global conditions.

Feeling it. He’s got real solid technique, too, to present his observations and ideas. I’m curious what people think about the refrain (”What’s Peace?”) though. Is Jasiri X suggesting that real peace can’t be achieved? I mean, I don’t think so, as evidenced by the line “I’m feeling for mothers who lost their sons, praying that God heals their sores.” But what about his earlier incitement: “[We're] talking revolution but never willing to fight and bleed.” Any thoughts on the solutions this song might support?
