Due to some extra in & out of state 9 to 5 plus creative work travels during the past 2 weeks on the both of our ends, here's a FLASHBACK episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast for the weeks of February 23 & March 2, 2018 [originally broadcast on the weeks February 25 & March 4, 2015] with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary.

Our extended commentary thay week on the show (it takes up about the 1st hour and a half of the radio show) after being back from some illness from the past 2 weeks touched base on the crazy winter weather in the U.S., net neutrality finally passing via the FCC in the United States (for now), the FOX soap opera "Empire" becoming a huge thing in current popular culture and our feelings on how the TV series has developed & Black broadcast TV at large, the passing of actor Leonard Nimoy & basketball player Anthony Mason, actress Monique talking about being blackballed in Hollywood & issues with director Lee Daniels, various Grammys & Oscar Award controversies from this year (with Kanye West's "Artist of the Year" complaint, Beyonce singing the lead song from the movie "Selma" instead of the original artist Ledisi, Patricia Arquette's terribly misguided backstage statements, etc.) and some other things here and there.

There is no new new Black Agenda Report segment on this week's show due to our extended commentary.

This is a straight up commentary episode of the FuseBox Radio Broadcast where DJ Fusion & The Black Hawk talked about the news story about actress & comedian Leslie Jones' frustration about dating (especially feeling like there is no point to it & getting discouraged) and how it related to our personal lives & interactions, how other heads can go through it at large on that end regardless of looks, employment, class, etc., the f*ckery of false, stoic "strength" when dealing with someone else's crap in a romantic relationship as a Black person (and person in general), the casual cruelty with other folks' judgement of one's worthiness for a relationship, how folks reacted to Leslie Jones' feelings on the Internet (some not very well at ALL), how men & women deal with crap of weirdly fluctuating expectations, dealing with folks bullsh*t in a healthy way after they say you're not worthy of a relationship and more.

Our extended commentary this week as a bit on the scattershot side with us getting back in the mix after a nice bit of vacation & dealing with life at large, including talking about the FuseBox Radio reaching it's 20th anniversary this year, U.S. politics update (which is still a dumpster fire, including the "shithole countries" controversy & the "Fire and Fury" book with some decent news with the #J20 trials) & who Donald Trump as president isn't even necessarily the biggest story at all on that end (more so his supporters from the top on down), the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. beyond the mainstream spin, how the article expose of Aziz Ansari & a bad date encounter REALLY got various folks in their feelings in the #MeToo era (especially about the different levels of what constitutes sexual harassment, assault & just being a damned creep in what should be mutually comfortable sexual scenarios), us hoping that Oprah Winfrey does NOT run for president, some recent movies & TV we've seen & are going to see (including "The End of the F*cking World", "Wormwood", "The Last Jedi", our excitement about checking out "Black Panther" and more) plus some other things here and there.

Due to some extra out of state business travels via the 9 to 5 AND the music ends during the past few weeks, here the latest FLASHBACK episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast for the weeks of Dec. 6 & 13, 2017 [originally broadcast on the week August 20, 2008] with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary.



During that week, we had a great interview with author Douglas A. Blackmon for his book, "Slavery By Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II" (now currently out on Doubleday Books), which "brings to light one of the most shameful chapters in American history—when a cynical new form of slavery was resurrected from the ashes of the Civil War and re-imposed on hundreds of thousands of African-Americans until the dawn of World War II" by throwing Black Men, Women and Children into prison in the South for labor purposes under false pretenses to be arrested.

Feel free to check out more information about him and "Slavery By Another Name" the official book website, http://www.SlaveryByAnotherName.com.
