WHAT THE LEGENDARY ACTOR SIDNEY POITIER TAUGHT US

 


Born after 1990?

Well. The Bahamas born legendary actor, Sidney Poitier might not be familiar. He died last week aged 94. Poitier is among most significant black players of human history. We are speaking of Hollywood films, theatre and acting. Therefore anyone studying to be in that profession will surely stumble across Sidney Poitier's name.

DID BLACK CULTURE AND HIP HOP ATTITUDE INFLUENCE RECENT UK RIOTS?

Discussions and conclusions continue to be drawn following the England riots a fortnight ago.  Prime Minister David Cameron promised war on “moral decay”, since majority mobsters were youths with low regard to law, authority and social values.  His critics are doubtful. Some say he and his ruling circle are “just talking.” Certain callers on London radio stations charge his leadership is “out of touch.” How can Etonian tutored elite know what “commoners” are feeling?
