Welcome to Fantom Island, where iLL-Literacy's legend finds its habitat. If you've happened upon this portal, may we be as bold as to assert that nested in you is a healthy curiosity. Whether you were drawn here by the Slanted i at this page's 1-o-clock, the quick flash of during loading, or simply because you have a click-happy finger – you've arrived. HihowRUhi?

The peculiar thing about Fantom Island is that it is but a mirage – an Imaginary oasis isolated in the confines of our brainwaves. We shall gradually reveal morsels of our folklore here, so please visit often. To return, simply bring your Imagination as your passport.

ILL-LOGIC: Barack & Curtis: Manhood, Power & Respect

I know there’s been quite a bit of Obama-ness on this blog, but, um…this is history, so there.  Here’s a very well-made short documentary about a much-needed discussion in public consciousness: Black masculinity in America.  Barack & Curtis discusses (you guessed it) the contrasts between Barack Obama and 50 Cent, two black men who, despite very different approaches to black masculinity, commonly find themselves in social positions that are against their odds.  Definitely worth the 10 minutes.  Directed by Byron Hurt.
