50 cent vs. Barack Obama

No, no, no! This is not one of Fiddy's lame beefs in an attempt for publicity, but rather director Byron Hurt's short documentary examining black manhood in America.  The director uses the images set forth by the at time presidential candidate, Barack Obama, against that of a rapper, 50 Cent, to illustrate his point about black masculinity in today's society.  While watching this short documentary, which was released October 2008, try to get past looking at the two men being contrast and concentrate on the images that they both represent.  Let me know your views on this subject.
