Blues (especially the stuff from the Harlem Renaissance), Soul/ Neo-Soul, true Hip Hop, good Rock'N'Roll, and reggae, as well as anything with progressive undertones
Garden State, Wedding Crashers, Half Nelson, Haven, Civil Brand, Superbad...I'm a big fan of comedies and movies with a message.
Grey's Anatomy, L.A. Ink, and Jeopardy (I'm gonna get rich on that show someday!). I love stand up on Comedy Central. BUT, I would rather watch an episode of Saved By The Bell ANY DAY!
Kite Runner, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, A Little Matter of Genocide (Or anything else by the brilliant Ward Churchill), Prison Writings by Leonard Peltier...way too many to list!
My mom-she's educated and strong, but she is also the most selfless and compassionate human being I have ever met. I also have mad respect for people who are willing to stand up for what is right, even if they are the only one standing.
