Here's a flashback episode of the syndicated FuseBox Radio Broadcast with DJ Fusion & Ausar Ra Black Hawk for the week of May 2, 2016 [originally broadcast during the week of February 8, 2012] with some new and classic music from the international Black Diaspora, news and commentary.
Our commentary during that week touched base on the recent unearthing of a 50-year old lost Malcolm X speech audio, our personal reviews of the big budget Tuskegee Airmen movie "Red Tails", the possible Daft Punk/Nile Rodgers upcoming album and some other diverse topics here and there.

We also had a special interview related to the upcoming HBO Documentary Films premiere of "The Loving Story", with director/producer Nancy & daughter of Richard and Mildred Loving, Peggy Loving.
The film covers the drama, history & the current state of interracial marriage and tolerance in the United States through the personal story of the Lovings, who back in the 1960s fought for the right to live as a married couple regardless of their racial backgrounds all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. Their case struck down a lot of the anti-miscegenation laws throughout the country.
There were also Free Press "Media Minutes", Black Agenda Report and Black University Radio Network (B.U.R.N.) Direct EFX mini-segments in that week's episode.

Our commentary this week touched base on:
* what we've been up to since our last full length show (our recent "Politics with Real Spit" interview series with organizations and 3rd Party Presidential candidates, starting off the 2016 Music Festival Season Press runs, etc.)
* The sad, unexpected passing of musicians Phife Dawg (of classic Hip-Hop collective a A Tribe Called Quest) and singer/songwriter/instrumentalist Prince, how they've affected our appreciation of music and us as individuals, their different impacts on Black Music and more
* Recent rounds of high-level f**kery with people thinking that Black Americans are their workhorses for votes, causes, etc. and not full human beings with our own minds, things WE have to worry about on a daily basis and whatnot with everyone from the Democratic Party, to singer M.I.A. and more the past few weeks (which lead to a DJ Fusion rant)
* the latest updates on the sad, steady spectacle that is the U.S. Presidential Election nomination race as of late
* recent news about sexual abuse accusations against Afrika Bambaataa (the founder of the Zulu Nation) & our viewpoints on what we know thus far
* mini-movie reviews of "Hardcore Henry" and "Barbershop 3" and other things here and there!

 photo taraji_empire_streets.gif
Our extended commentary for that week's 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.
