Today, we're gonna have a New York minute....
Okay, first the good news. It's LEGAL to relate interracially! And it has been throughout the United States since...................1967!
Enough sarcasm. On the real, June 12th is Loving Day and is a celebration of the legalization of interracial couples. On this day in 1967, the Supreme Court ruled in the decision entitled Loving vs. Virginia that anyone could love anyone (well, that didn't include homosexual relationships, but that'll be a different Loving Day). Before, violations included marriage, sex and living together. Read more about it their website here. They also have a fancy interactive map showing where interracial relationships were illegal according to the year.
My friends at WorldUp! in NYC are throwing a party to celebrate. A rooftop barbecue...sounds pretty nice. I think Rio might even be on the cold side compared to sunny shiny New York right about now. Go to the party and show some love.
Now, the bad news.....September 11 was a pre-meditated (and therefore qualifies the perpetrators to be legally INSANE), fully orchestrated event - according to the folks at Loose Change. Download/watch their documentary here. That is some very crucial and very scary shit.
Huge big up to Nick Tha 1da, Swae, Smoke, and Skooly for the DOPE soundtrack!
Immortal Technique (with guest Mos Def) also had something to say about that in their swell little number called, "Bin Laden." This came out on a 12" on Babygrande Records in 2005. Buy it.
Afterwards, you can check the Dudes at Screw Loose Change - "Dedicated to exposing the lies, Distortions and Myths in the Movie, 'Loose Change'." Yep, they're for real, but I'm pretty damn sure they won't be at the barbecue......

Gotta say that I watched "Loose Change" and read a GRIP of secondary literature (Screw Loose Change etc.) .
Loose CHange is conjectoral at best. Same lame ConTheorist soundbites wrapped up in a cute litle film.
Maga, big up yourself , mayne (for real), but this cat pretty much seems spot-on as far as I'm concerned:

As part of the "Left" proper, I refuse to waste political inertia (or even head-space) with this cotage-industry conspiracy theory bollocks. Yes, the US has MAJOR issues, but I'm not sure what something like this film accomplishes, dunny.
