Boneqweesha Jones: "Welcome to this special 2012 edition of 'Qweesha Live and Direct' on Ghetto Science Public Television. It's a new year of promise, potential and hope for the Ghetto Science Community, America and the world. Despite high gas prices, skyrocketing food costs, and 1 percent of the population maintaining more financial wealth than the bottom 95 percent, folk continue to shop, eat, sleep, work, play, struggle to pay their bills, find a job and have a place to stay.

"What I've just mentioned inspired my special guest, renegade filmmaker Kunta 'Rasheed X' Toby, tow produce a new film titled 'The Pursuit of Crappiness: Numbed by Nonsense.'

"Brother Kunta, the unemployment rate has gone down. That's progress. Where is your hope?"

Kunta 'Rasheed X' Toby: "Qweesha, my hope is that things will get better for the masses of people affected by the callous decisions and actions of politicians and corporations. But, still, a lot people today may agree with this quote by Malcolm X: 'If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it out all the way out, that's not progress. The progress comes from healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't even begun to pull the knife out. They won't even admit the knife is still there.'"

Boneqweesha Jones: "I think know where your hope is, brother Kunta. Now I can't wait to see 'The Pursuit of Crappiness: Numbed by Nonsense'. Coming soon."
