Barack & Curtis: Manhood, Power & Respect


A short documentary by Byron Hurt examining the contrasting types of black masculinity displayed by Democratic Presidential nominee Barack "That One" Obama and rapper/mogul Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson. I would say that 50 has transitioned a tad and is less the bullying idiot of late, but still a valid criticism. 50's sponsorship of George W. Bush says a lot about his approach to life, and its great to see a force like Barack challenge that particular black male mentality with a polished, cool and intellectual alternative. Check it out and let me know what yall think. Props to Chewy for the heads up!
