The interview with Bell Hooks was amazing.  I don't think I found anything to disagree with her about.

The videos about Racist Disney are old news to me, but still make me a little sick. "Mommy why are the bad guys always dark?"  It's because Walt Disney was a damn racist, thats why.

Noam Chomsky on pornography I found pretty interesting. It changed my view slightly on the entire porn industry. He had some great things to say in that short interview.

The hip hop one I thought I would be disagreeing with, mostly because I'm a fan of hip hop/rap. Turns out I agreed with almost everything said in that video too.

Thanks for the links. I took a media awareness course back in high school and we learned less in that entire course than someone can learn by watching JUST the Bell Hooks interview.

Bell Hooks interviewSSSS, she has a lot of informative things to present

just amazed at this from Tyra, the captions could be a bit smothering but have some good information
