"Barack & Curtis" Clip 4 (RawFootage)

Here's the last installment of raw footage clips from "Barack & Curtis" before the official and complete version drops tomorrow (Friday, October 10, 2008). The clip you are about to watch now IS NOT THE FINAL VERSION OF BARACK & CURTIS. The final edited piece will arrive in your inbox tomorrow.

In today's selected clip, you will see and hear from four people I highly respect: CEO of Allhiphop.com, Chuck Creekmur; Scholar and activist, Jackson Katz; Community organizer; Asere Bello; and C. Nicole Mason, Ph.D, Executive Director of the Women of Color Policy Network at New York University. Each have interesting insight about Barack Obama's and 50 Cent's masculinity. I hated to cut these great voices out of the final version. I only did so because of the limited time.

Special thank you to producer Geeta Patel and videographer Amyn Kaderali for shooting the interview with Jackson Katz in Long Beach, California. And thanks to Anthony Jamison for cutting this piece.

i think your views are illconcieved at best. just as the left votes based on ideals so does the right. the right constantly argues for this baloney trickle down theory that, as we have seen, doesnt work. so dont preach about short term effectivness of the economic policies of the right until you truly understand politics. clinton surplus. bush defcit. these are facts.

One of the things I always have a problem with when people talk about why people vote Republican is the phrase vote against their economic interests. You ever thought that those people vote Republican because they believe you can't get something for nothing. The policies that the left advocates promotes this idea. People are just smart enough to know they might benefit in the short term but in the long term it would cost them more. This has been proven with every left econ policy out there.
