Moment, Momentum, Movement = Change.

WHY?: After Tavis lays down some boring "facts" (lol), Cornel makes it pretty plain. Ok, but does where we're at in 2009 allow for "moments" to seep in deep enough to create "momentum"? Seems media sophistication (media segmentation/segregation where everyone has their own figurative and literal "channel" to tune into to, and use it to tune out from everything else) has made that much harder, so is that why it seems so hard to get genuine grassroots social movements poppin? For example, Hurricane Katrina. West touches on it late in the videos, suggesting that music is one great way to break through post-modern mass media. Another good point he makes is on "living your hypothesis." Despite the jaded reality, taking hard risks and manifesting the visions we have about how to improve ourselves/communities. His break down on bridging the gap between academia and "the streets" is also pretty interesting, "we appreciate the discipline, that's important, but you didn't give birth to yourself... peacocks strut but they can't fly." That stuff is in the videos after the continued. I just want to ask Tavis how he reconciles his theories of grassroots community with using McDonalds to help get the word out.
