I watched this video [['Don't Cash Crop My Cornrows') today and came away very impressed. Surprisingly, it was produced as a project for this young lady's [[Amandla Stenberg) history class. Ms. Stenberg is an actress who appeared in 'The Hunger Games' a few years ago. The video is about the appropriation of Black cultural elements into the mainstream while leaving those who created it to effectively exist as second class citizens.

She has excellent points throughout the video and her thesis is laid out in a a surprisingly effective and mature way for someone who is 16 years old. It's about five minutes long, but I wish every adult in the U.S. could take those five minutes to watch it and ponder what she's saying. Her future is bright.
