SATIN HOOKS commented on Afro-Punk Features's blog post Organic food in the Black Community: A desert land
"Most "farmers" are basically indentured servants (aka loan-slaves for life). Watch the film Food Inc, if you haven't. The bulk of our nation's food is grown on commercial farms... by four companies! These companies have a…"

Organic food in the Black Community: A desert land

Posted on May 20, 2010 at 8:30am 18 Comments



Some time ago a friend asked me if I could drive her to a grocery store because her car was broken down. I offered to take her to one a bit further out but she chose one in the hood that she always goes to. I had never been there before although I had driven past numerous times. I went inside the store with her, following her aisle by aisle as she filled up her cart with canned vegetables, canned fruit and boxes of freeze dried mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. The beef… Continue

You Can't Handle Black with W. Kamau Bell

Posted on May 14, 2010 at 12:30pm 21 Comments



We found a comedian who claims he can end racism in one hour. That's right. W. Kamau Bell (pronounced KA-MAOW, like KA-POW) says that his one man stand up show can end that nasty little "r" word that we've all got mighty comfortable with. So, we decided to invite this San Francisco comedian to the Afro-punk scene to smack us around a little, get the race conversation stirred up a bit, and to make us a little more uncomfortable… Continue

Posted on May 13, 2010 at 12:00pm 8 Comments



From one Memphis label, we can hear mod, soul, country, blues, rock and the beginnings of punk. Oh, you thought MC5 and The Stooges were proto-punk, right? Well take a look and listen to the artists of STAX. They’re in the same category as early 60’s bands like The Sonics, The Monks, and The Fabulous Wailers. If those bands are respected for their early contributions to rock, then Stax is in need of an Afro-Punk Reclassification because they… Continue

Love Connections on Afro-punk? Why Not?

Posted on May 10, 2010 at 2:00pm 41 Comments

My response to Jill Scott's Essence Magazine article seemed to have people up in arms as far as interracial relationships and white men/ women stealing all the "Good" black men/ women. I've noticed that here on Afro-Punk we have an array of men and women from different backgrounds, races, religions, etc. and it almost seems, even though we all have our different views on many many topics, that…
