Barack & Curtis: Manhood, Power & Respect

I feel compelled to share this. It’s what I’ve been saying for a long time now, and finally, someone has expressed it as well as I could have only hoped. That being, the strong parrallels that can be drawn between the modern, public impression of black, gangsta masculinity and white, capitalistic society and “success.”

A short documentary film examining the contrasting styles of manhood exhibited by Presidential Candidate Barack Obama and Rapper/Mogul Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent.
