HIP HOP Weekend in Augusta

2 DAYS OF FORUMS AND WORKSHOPS FEATURE THE ELEMENTS OF HIP HOP CULTURE: BREAKDANCING, DEEJAYING, EMCEEING, THE ART OF GRAFFITI & LIVE PERFORMANCES

The Third Annual Elementz is happening in the first weekend in December. Why do you feel this concept is important for the community?

Elementz is an idea I came up with three years ago after observing how far away hip-hop music and culture has gotten from its origin. The hiphop I grew up with as a teen played a major role in molding me into the man I am today. Hip-hop music inspired me to become more socially and spiritually conscious and, as a

teen, it made our history both intriguing and informative. Nowadays, hiphop still has the power to mold and shape. However, due to its predominant negative imagery, we are nowadays witnessing a reflection in our culture of what is being projected.

Hip-Hop music was founded in the early 1970’s upon four basic elements or principles, which include emceeing (rapping), deejaying, break dancing, and graffiti art. I decided to put together a live, nostalgic show that would display all four of these ele-

ments with the purpose of educating a younger audience and entertaining those of us who recall the golden era of hip-hop. This event could essentially help our youth and young adults become more constructive and less destructive by connecting them with hip-hop’s rich culture.

That initial concept has been expanded to Elementz 3: Hip Hop Weekend. Does that mean and how will it be implemented?

The attendance at the Elementz

Hip-Hop Show, which is held annually at Sky City, nearly doubled between the first and second years. I then knew the potential and impact this event could have. I also subscribe to the belief that we must sow positive seeds into our community and youth in order to reap a beneficial harvest.

A fifth element of Hip-Hop was eventually added, which is “knowledge”.

By incorporating this element, the event would be able to expand from Continued on next page

The Show:

the performance stage directly into the community. This year we will kick off the weekend with Professor Griff from the legendary rap group, Public Enemy delivering an informative lecture on the State of Hip-Hop followed by an open panel discussion comprised of industry-related members of our community. The second event of the weekend is the Elementz Hip-Hop Workshop. This event is geared towards children and is free of charge for all students. During this workshop, participants will be able to get hands on instruction from well-respected area professionals in all four original elements of hip-hop. nThe entire weekend of events comes nto a climax with the 3rd Annual HipHop Show. o In the marketing world, Hip Hop hrules. That means that corporate money is everywhere and commercialism is rampant. Professor .Griff brings a unique perspective eon the business side of Hip Hop. mWhat can folks look forward to with his presentation?

Professor Griff, with his vast array

of experiences and infinite knowledge and wisdom, will enlighten, inform, and educate the audience.

He will compare three factors; where hip-hop has been, where hip-hop is now, and where hip-hop is going. We ask those that attend to please come with an open mind as some of what he reveals about the industry may be somewhat shocking to some.

To many novices, hip hop just means rap music. This weekend will reveal that it is much more than that. How will you get that point across?

Hip-Hop is much more than music.

Hip-Hop is a culture. It’s the way we walk, the way we talk, the way we dress, the way we interact with one another. It has a rich history. It has written and unwritten rules. The person that attends all three events will consider themselves better informed and thoroughly entertained.

You’ve managed to get several different organizational entities and venues involved. Why was that important and how challenging

was it to get that level of cooperation?

I was sure to invite the director of the Greater Augusta Arts Council, Brenda Durant, along with other distinguished members of our community, some of which are not traditionally hip-hop enthusiasts. My objective was to impress them and show to them the educational value of such an event. My goal has been to have hip-hop become respected as a valid art form. This year we are honored to have the Greater Augusta Arts Council on board as sponsor and partner. We were able to convince other business professionals to come aboard as sponsors by describing to them the educational benefit of this project.

The Hip-Hop Workshop, geared towards our area’s youth, was a definite selling point and deciding factor for many of our sponsors. I must admit, some businesses were reluctant to assist, given the negative image of today’s rap music and culture. I’m truly appreciative of those sponsors that unselfishly supported my vision.

9:00 p.m. @ Sky City, Performances

by TRUEZ, Freedom Black, Soul On Ice, Hayden, AE, Selah Jetloud Guru, Shay Butta, and Catch 22 There is a $10 fee.

Who are some of the artists and presenters that will be presiding over the weekend’s various events?

All of the events will be officiated by Uprise Enterprise. Members of our community have volunteered to assist in ensuring that everything goes smoothly. The Hip-Hop Show is headlined by a young, vibrant artist that goes by the moniker Truez.

A talented cast of young performers, including Freedom Black, Soul On Ice, Hayden, Jetloud, A.E., Catch 22, and Shay Butta, will serve as openers.

It has been important to me to display all local artists, from emcees to deejays to break dancers to painters, to make the citizens of our community aware of the level of talent our area possesses.

This will be a true example of what can happen when members of the community unify and pool their resources together.

MAKIN’ A DIFFERENCE COMMENTARY by Ken Makin

THE REAL TRAGEDY OF TERRORISM

Culture of fears and lies cripples our society

W

e’ve seen that ugly word on the news. It shakes us to our core. It makes us question whether we are truly safe in America, or anywhere. TERRORISM. Do you know what the real tragedy of terrorism is, though? Aside from the loss of human lives?

Somewhere in the world, you have a child or children who believe that ISIS is the representation of the Muslim faith That suggestion is typically easy for Americans to swallow, largely because of media perception and storytelling.

Think about this, though: somewhere in the world, you have a child or children who believe that men in white sheets, with their burning crosses, are the embodiment of Christianity.

Oh, I know what you’re thinking: “That’s preposterous, Ken. No one thinks that.” It’s all in who’s telling the story.

At some point, we have to understand where the real battles are.

Long before wars play out on the

battlefield, there is a war inside each and every one of us. Do we succumb to fear and lies, or do we invest in research for ourselves? Do we research the truth?

So, what happens to these children who believe these fallacies? It’s simple, really. They grow up. They become the people we live, eat, work, go to church with. They become consenting adults to a culture that would have us make generalizations about cultures and religions.

What amazes me to no end is how often this phenomenon surprises people. One of the biggest allies of terrorism is propaganda.

One of the most sinister minds in human history acknowledged the power of such lies: “By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.”

Those comments were from none other than Adolf Hitler. And guess what? Hitler called himself a

Christian!

African-Americans in this country should understand the dangers of terrorism – and propaganda. Mass media and perception lends some people in this country to believe that Black folk are violent and oversexed savages. Obviously, nothing can be further from the truth. Yet it’s an ideology that has been passed down for hundreds and hundreds of years.

It’s sad to say, but people don’t understand the art of war. And they don’t understand it because they don’t understand the history of war.

There’s a notion that we can stop terrorist organizations with more violence. Bombs and beer, right?

Nothing could be more ignorant.

What Japan did after WWII was understand that stealth, innovation and economics can be as powerful, or more powerful, than bravado and misguided patriotism. And now, as you look on the back of so many items you consume, what do you see?

“Made In Japan” or “Made in China.”

War only begets more war. One of the most profound victories for President Barack Obama was the compromise on the Iranian nuclear deal. Know this – what people want more than a war of words and a loss of lives are prosperity over poverty and opportunity over oppression.

I have said this before, and will say it again: even the Good Book tells us that the opposite of love is not “hate.”

The opposite of love is fear. I challenge us all to have a spirit of power, love and a sound mind in the face of such challenging times.

Top 10 reasons governors are wrong to exclude Syrian refugees

by Juan Cole Some half of US governors have announced their opposition to their states taking in Syrian refugees after the Paris attacks. Although they can bother refugees, they can’t actually dictate to people who are here legally where they can live. But anyway, here are the reasons for which these announcements are a form of political hysteria and not grounded in any rational policy considerations: 1. The attackers in Paris were European nationals. The Syrian passport found near one of them was a fake. So are the governors opposed to Belgian immigration into the United States?

2. The attackers were not refugees.

They were born in Europe. Refugees are poor and lacking in knowledge or resources about their new environment. The attackers knew exactly where everything was that they wanted to assault and were hooked

wanted to be paranoid about them you could fear them all on the same grounds that the GOP fears Syrians.

The US has accepted a former child soldier from the Congo (might have skills). In 2014 the US accepted 758 refugees from Afghanistan; how are they different from Syrian refugees?

And here’s the kicker: the US accepted 19,651 refugees from Iraq last year! It is completely irrational to single out Syrians if you are going to take in Iraqis.

4. These refugees undergo at least 18 months of background checks, contrary to what Sen. Mario Rubio (whose parents were Cuban immigrants to the US) has alleged.

Syrian refugees are not guerrilla fighters or terrorists. They are fleeing 5. The Economist points out that the oppression of the Bashar al-Assad government or the brutality of since 2001, the US has admitted Daesh (ISIS, ISIL) or al-Qaeda. roughly 750,000 refugees and none, in with arms smugglers and other US already admits 70,000 refugees zero, nada have been accused of hard-to-discover criminal networks. every year, but only took in about involvement in domestic terrorism 3.

were accused of trying to help a terrorist organization back in Iraq).

6. The need is urgent. Of the some 22 million Syrians, a good half are homeless. About 7.5 million have been displaced within the country and some 4 million have been forced abroad. Little Jordan (pop. 6 million) has taken 800,000.

Little Lebanon (pop. 4 million) has taken 1.2 million. Turkey (pop.

75 million) has taken 2 million.

Sweden is accepting Syrian refugees without announcing limits.

Germany is taking tens of thousands (though probably most of the refugees Chancellor Angela Merkel has accepted are not Syrians).

Winter is arriving and the refugees have no proper shelter, clothing or nourishment. The US has to step up in the face of one of the world’s great humanitarian crises.

7. Syrian refugees are not guerrilla fighters or terrorists. They are fleeing the oppression of the Bashar al-Assad government or the brutality of Daesh (ISIS, ISIL) or al-Qaeda. They are the victims of America’s enemies.

8. The US owes these refugees.

Without the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, there would have been no al-Qaeda in that part of the world, and no al-Qaeda offshoots like Daesh/ ISIL. Why do the governors (most of whom supported the invasion of Iraq) think the US can go around the world sowing instability and being responsible for creating the conditions that lead to millions of refugees but then can avoid the responsibility of ameliorating those

broken lives?

9. Some US politicians, such as Ted Cruz, have spoken of taking in only Christian refugees. That step would be unconstitutional. But let’s remember that such a policy would have excluded Albert Einstein from coming to the US in 1933, after the Nazis seized his property in Germany. You wonder without such refugee intellectuals, would the US have fallen behind Nazi Germany on, e.g., constructing an atomic bomb?

10. Cruz’s call for Christian refugees to be given special privileges reminds us of the the racist Chinese Exclusion Act, which derived in part from Christian American dislike of those they called “heathens.” Religion is often an element in the construction of ethnicity, so the privileging of Christianity has a long history of being a stealth form of racism.

We shed more tears when the west is attacked – and more blood What happened in Paris has been described as a “Mumbaistyle attack”, but it did not provoke a Mumbai-style response.

By Amana Fontanella-Khan

M

any countries have been hit by devastating terror attacks yet responded with restraint. The west can learn from their experiences Much has been said about the asymmetry of western grief, which weeps for Paris and shrugs at blasts in Beirut or Baghdad. But that is not the only disparity in the way the east and west reacts in the face of terrorist attacks.

When terror strikes the west, it is rare that just tears flow. The blood of those we bomb flows, too.

Like many, I shed tears for Paris. I have lived there and spent much of the weekend grieving with friends who know and love the city. But our grief was interrupted by a declaration of what French president François Hollande called a “pitiless war”. Blood was being demanded.

Hollande said: “Terrorism will not destroy the Republic, because the Republic will destroy it.”

His first statement is correct.

Terrorism will not destroy France; Isis’s black flag will never fly over the Assemblée Nationale. As foreign policy expert Stephen M Walt recently argued in Foreign Affairs, Isis neither has an ideology contagious enough to topple stable governments through popular revolution, nor the firepower to spread its ideas through conquest.

UPW

Isis, in other words, poses no existential threat to the western world.

As for Hollande’s boast that France will destroy Isis, history tells us that he will be sorely mistaken. Isis – especially the ideology that motivates its members – cannot be eradicated through bombs. That is why the world is trying to reach a negotiated ceasefire and peace in Syria: we know that the best way to contain Isis is to restore peace to the few tumultuous places in the Middle East where it has established a quasi-state.

Hollande’s belligerent response – dropping 20 bombs on Raqqa on Sunday alone – will not protect France from further terrorist attacks, especially when they are planned in neighboring Belgium. Nor will it rid the world of Isis. So why has the French leader responded to violence with more violence?

What happened in Paris has been described as a “Mumbai-style attack”, but it did not provoke a Mumbai-style response. I wish it had.

I was living in Mumbai in 2008 when 10 gunmen from Lashkar-eTaiba held the city under siege for three days. The terrorists struck numerous sites, including Mumbai’s most luxurious hotels, a popular cafe, a heritage Victorian central train station and a Jewish religious center.

More than 160 people were killed. It was devastating, physically and emo-

tionally.

When the gunfire ceased, many of us in Mumbai and throughout India felt the fear of terror replaced with another fear: that there would be war. We worried that there would once again be communal violence between Muslims and Hindus on the streets; we dreaded the thought that politicians would exploit the attacks to foment suspicion between people in our diverse country, in which people of different religious, language and ethnic groups all live together.

Then-Prime Minister Manhmohan Singh instead responded with admirable restraint. The attackers were all Pakistanis, who had trained in Pakistan and whose handlers were instructing them during the attack from the other side of the border.

Yet, when the then prime minister addressed the grieving nation, he refused to order military strikes against that country.

Thanks to Singh’s restraint in the face of public grief and shock, war with Pakistan was avoided. It was for the best. Places of conflict and turmoil are breeding grounds for terrorist groups, and any Indian attack on Pakistan would have only increased the appeal of terrorism among some young men in the region.

Yes, there have been more attacks in India since 2008. But those isolated bomb blasts did not drag the

country down a long and uncertain path of war, because the government chose to not to let that happen.

Some people will say that, while Hollande’s strikes may not prevent further attacks, they can’t harm either.

But they can. By deepening France’s involvement in the conflict, Hollande risks giving Isis more firepower for their propaganda campaign, which decries western “crusaders” invading Middle Eastern lands.

The French president must remember those assuring words he delivered to his own nation: “Terrorism will not destroy the Republic.” I would go further and say terrorism has not and will not destroy any of the stable nations that have had the misfortune of experiencing it.

Mumbai jumped back on its feet after the 2008 attack and experienced many moments of joy and triumph. In 2011, India won the cricket world cup finals that were held in the city. The streets through which people had once run with fear at the sound of bullets and grenade explosions were filled with jubilation. Indians, both Muslims and Hindus, celebrated that night. And that was the greatest victory of all against the terrorists: unity.
