SAGZ JEANS LAUNCHES NEW FASHION LINE STYLED BY TEENS; FEATURES UNIQUE SNAP-ON CUSTOM BOXER SHORTS FOR WORRY-FREE MOBILITY

-- Latest versions of urban clothing maker's popular ‘sagging' jeans owe much to style conscious teenage designers. --

New York, NY (BlackNews.com) -- Sagz Urban Wear, LLC, makers of urban influenced casual wear, have begun marketing their newest line of "sagging" jeans featuring new styles and colors. Subtle design changes will also add to their jeans' appeal, say the teenage fashion designers behind the popular clothing line.

"Young urban men continue to ‘sag' their jeans fashionably low, and our jeans' unique snap-on custom boxer shorts offer them worry-free mobility," says company spokesperson George Harris. "Three different wearing levels allow for maximum personal expression, with the styling confidence and comfort we're famous for."

But an increased "swag" factor is the key result. This is perhaps his brand's greatest contribution to the casual urban fashion scene, Harris adds.

"Plus, when you're not having to constantly pull up your pants it allows you more time to do your own thing," he notes. "Our design team is the youngest in the industry, and they guide all our fashion decisions - with the growing marketplace approval of consumers willing to spend clothing dollars on something of unique appeal."

He and fellow design and marketing experts Tavon James and Y'annique Sousa have successfully placed the Sagz label in some of the top department stores and fashion boutiques in urban markets nationwide.

Denim continues to be a mainstay of the fashion industry, with sales totaling an estimated $17 billion worldwide in the past year. In the marketplace since 2011, Sagz Urban Wear has seen its revenues grow in every business quarter despite economic and seasonal cycles, according to the company.

"Along with jeans, the company is planning on adding belts, hats, t-shirts, khakis and more to its product line," says Harris.

AFRICAN AMERICAN CARTOON SERIES PUTS A "NINJA" SPIN ON SLAVERY - AND A VIDEO GAME IS ALSO IN THE WORKS!

Benny, the slave turned cyborg

Berlin, NJ -- (BlackNews.com) -- There was Roots, then 12 Years a Slave, and now in development is a cartoon series called Mortolkosbei. Picture two runaway slaves who are fighting for their freedom by becoming cyborg ninjas. They must enslave their future descendants named Mortolkosbei.

Created by cartoonist Justin Serrette Jr, who also backed Aaron McGruder (creator of Boondocks) on his movie Uncle Ruckus. Mortolkosbei is also being developed into a fighting video game called Mortolkosbei Mugen. Similar to Mortal Kombat, players will be able to choose a wide list of characters, combos, and finishing moves.

Mortolkosbei will take place in the 1600's then fast forward to early 1900's during the renaissance of Black Wall Street. In Black Wall Street, the slaves will befriend a scientist, chemist, and engineer to help build and rebuild them into the ultimate killing machines.

The characters will feature a wide range of fighting styles ranging from Jeet Kung Do, Jiu Jitsu, Greco Roman Wresting, and so on. The character MortolKosbei first appeared in another cartoon Serrette created called Alienz Wit' Afros receiving over a million YouTube views.

Serrette Jr, comments, "When I first read a book on Black Wall Street it shook me to the core. They wonÂ’t teach this in history class. In Mortolkosbei, you'll learn a lot."

Serrette is also the mastermind behind Crazyafroanimation, a business where he produces African American cartoons and has an obscene clothing line. He currently produces with Riley Martin, who does radio on the Howard Stern Channel as well as voices on the Cartoon Network. They have also taken his book The Coming of Tan, and produced it into a cartoon series.

Screen shots for both the video game and cartoon are available at www.Crazyafroanimation.com.

Fwd: [SOA~2013] A Tribute to the Palestinian People - "If We Must Die"

 

A Tribute to the Palestinian People

To the innocent civilians – men, women and children, whose blood are watering the sacred and ancient soils of Palestine

To Justice and civilised values

To the rejections of racism and fascism

To the rejection of foreign occupations of Palestinian land

To the exorcism of the Third Reich

To peace and prosperity for the peoples of the Middle East

 

"If We Must Die"

 

By Clause McKay

 

If we must die,

let it not be like hogs

Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,

While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,

Making their mock at our accursed lot.

 

If we must die, O let us nobly die

So that our precious blood may not be shed

In vain; then even the monsters we defy

Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!

 

O kinsmen! We must meet the common foe!

 

Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,

And for their thousand blows deal one death blow!

 

What though before us lies the open grave?

 

Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,

Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

Fwd: You've got to hear this senator

ear MoveOn member, 

It's been called a "bromance." They've been called "the Senate's newest odd couple." Democratic Senator Cory Booker and Republican Senator Rand Paul aren't exactly political soul mates. 

But, as Senator Booker explains on this episode of "The Good Fight," they've forged an alliance that could herald a breakthrough for one of the nation's most devastating problems: the system of mass incarceration that has trapped millions of Americans in a cycle of crime and punishment. 

If you think our criminal justice system might need some rehabilitation itself, you've got to hear this podcast.   

 

Thanks for all you do.

–Ben Wikler
