FuseBox Radio Broadcast

This is the latest episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Jon Judah for the week of July 8, 2015 (another flashback episode due to a mixture of terrible allergies and FuseBox Radio future planning; originally broadcast on the week of January 9, 2013) with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary.



Our commentary during that week touched base on our opinion of the movie "Django Unchained" & it's controversies (contrived and otherwise), recent updates with Private Bradley Manning's court case in regards to Wikileaks, NYPD's "Stop-And-Frisk" program being declared unconstitutional by a federal judge, what went on with us during our holiday break while sliding into the New Year 2013, an insane news story of when keeping it real after a breakup goes wrong in Florida along with a lot of other things here and there.

There were brand new Black Agenda Report news mini-segment on that week's episode.

This is the latest FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the weeks of June 24 & July 1, 2015 [a flashback episode due to being on vacation for the 4th of July holiday here in the U.S.; originally broadcast on the week of August 20, 2008] with some new and classic Hip-Hop & Soul music, news and commentary.



During that week, we had a on point 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 & in documentary form via PBS), 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 Childresn into prison in the South for labor purposes under false pretenses to be arrested.

Feel free to hit him up the official book website, http://www.SlaveryByAnotherName.com.

Due to the interview, there was no new segment of Black Agenda Report and no Direct EFX segment.

This is the latest, BRAND NEW episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the week of June 17, 2015 with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary.

This week's radio show breakdown (by minutes/hours):

0:00 - 1:31:11 Introduction & Extended Commentary
1:31:12 - 2:58:19 DJ Fusion Mix

** NOTE: THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE EVER DONE A TOTALLY EXPLICIT COMMENTARY FOR THIS WEEK'S RADIO SHOW IN REGARDS TO LANGUAGE DUE TO THE INSANITY OF THE RECENT NEWS CYCLE. **



The commentary this week touched base on the role of independent Black American media and our views as a whole during what really felt like a past few days of utterly “Black Bodies and Minds Aren’t REALLY Treasured by damned near anyone” news, including the upcoming savage displacement of Blacks of Haitian descent in the Dominican Republic, the utterly boneheaded responses from folks of all backgrounds to the blackface act of Rachel Dolezel (and pretty much being told that “blackness” can be put on like a hat when convenient as long as you’re white and should be an honor as long as people are “down for the cause”), more situations of blatant discrimination against young Black children in the U.S. and the horrendous act of domestic terrorism in Charleston, SC at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. We also talked about a few popular culture things to round off the show's talk segement, including the upcoming Janet Jackson tour and her career as a whole through the years.

There is no brand new Black Agenda Report news mini-segment on this week's episode due to our long commentary.

The super extra long commentary this week (due to being back from Memorial Day vacation + being loop due to allergies last week) included talk about the recent events in McKinney, TX once again showing that there is no "post-racial America" (especially for Black folks) and the extreme need for systemic change in law enforcement and the U.S. population at large (along with some notes various incidents of wrongful imprisonment for decades of some Black men including one of the members of the "Angola 3", Kalief Browder [and his tragic passing], etc. + our annoyance at folks in denial about race and class issues in the U.S., especially from fellow People of Color during each of these news cycles), the passing of underground Hip-Hop legend Pumpkinhead, the insane hypocrisy on multiple levels with some of the TV "reality show" stars/"Christian" Duggars' family dirt coming out, tennis player Serena Williams winning her 20th Grand Slam, mini-movie reviews & ramblings about "Mad Max: Fury Road", "The Avengers 2" an assortment of 1980s action and horror movies and some other random things here and there.

The commentary this week (solo by DJ Fusion) during the show after being back from a LOT of things touched base mainly on the death of Freddie Gray in Baltimore, Maryland (yet another suspicious death via law enforcement on an African-American men in the U.S.) and it's after effects in the area (the #BaltimoreUprising, riots and why they occur, political and mainstream media responses & actions to the present, it's part in the history of American protest at large, the hypocrisy about whose lives are most important to preserve depending on race & class (and position), the weirdness of the Internet with this latest situation and respectability politics, what is it going to take to make folks acknowledge that this pattern of negative behaviors needs to be resolved on an institutional level and more).

This is a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the week of April 22, 2015 (due to it just being yet hectic week on personal ends for the both of us; originally broadcast on week of April 2, 2014) with some new and classic Hip-Hop, House & Soul Music, news and commentary.



Our commentary during that week's show focused on the passing & importance of DJ & producer Frankie Knuckles aka "Godfather of House", the latest shooting tragedy at Fort Hood, the small amount of self-identified Black Bookstores currently in the U.S., some decent wins in the fight against corporate media consolidation via the FCC, a foolish writer at the Washington Post being mad at Black academic excellence getting mainstream media attention for some reason, a ridiculous politician fighting for the right to have "chicken boxing" and some other things here & there.

There was a Black Agenda Report news mini-segment in this week's episode.
