After over an hour, I found the artist website but this full video is not out anywhere (to my knowledge). I emailed the creator on every email I could find asking him to let it be published in full…I will update…
This is such a powerful video…

LOL, I know I need to stop commenting on my own blog/post but I can’t stop watching this…
Hi Calvin! Thanks for sharing this with me. I don’t get to watch TV that much so I was completely clueless. While that cartoon is meant to depict what took place back in the day with the slave trade..in my mind it is very closely related to the image that is depicted of black women today in various hip/hop and rap videos. To me what makes it worse today is that it’s not a white man that has our sisters on the auction block, its the brothers… But not all people think like that I guess. And some women are just out to make a quick dollar…its sad. I know that as black women we are proud of our bodies…who wouldn’t be lol. But what I have learned is that I can be just as sexy, if not more, without my breasts and booty hangin’ out. Hopefully we will get a handle on this soon because it is brainwashing and polluting the minds of our teens. If we don’t take a stand as a race, as a culture…then we can’t expect anyone else to. Again, thanks bunches for sharing this with me. Be blessed!
Wow! Powerful. You know I’m pro black 
So I’m def a fan of this…. This & reading Nada’s comment gives me some ideas. Needless to say, we need to target our youth. We as a people have come a long way, but our society is losing sight of where we’ve come from. Not many youngsters know about the “Black Holocaust”… I’ll get back to you with my ideas. Gotta go map some things out. Be Blassed *Mici
***TYPO***
That’s BE BLESSED! Not Blassed….. lol.
Ok this was so much more than I expected. The exploitation of our African American women is very much so explored in this video. Two thumbs up for posting it Cal.
Neal, I found some time and energy and I am doing it now.

Crow era. Also encourage all your friends to visit the site!

them know if you would like to see more of this kind of programming.

I found this on this video:
These short films are, according to the program, all centered on extreme emotions - hate, love, betrayal, and so on. Most of them are excellent and evoke the intended emotion very effectively, but some don’t work quite as well. “Bid ‘em In” is an animation set to an a capella song about a slave auction and it is poignantly beautiful.
