Just a Thought Today

Sometimes the best fight in the battle to save our children is to stand still and let life teach them the best lessons. To do this can be painful and requires faith but pays the return on your investment. Be strong for your children and just do it.

It has to be great being "ghetto" and "bama" at the same time. What freakin planet are we on? DAMN, DAMN, DAMN there are some things that take black folks back two hundred years and this sh*t qualifies as one. President Obama's historical presidency though significan­t can't blot out the frequency of these embarrassi­ng scenarios that are becoming an acceptable expectatio­n in our community. Wake up people.

Just a Thought Today

Be a credit to your race today and not someone who devalues their own while having an incredible ability to sh*t on your own doorstep where your children play and call it the "hood" and blame the white man's system for what you do to yourself.

Remembering Ten Black Christian Leaders

This is great FYI for anyone who would remark "why is race relevant" because more important than the race of these men who worked and fought for causes is the fact that there were plenty of so called white Christians who were presented with the same opportunit­ies to drum major for justice but elected to remain silently on the sideline.

Diddy On Obama: Calls Out President, Asks To 'Do Better' For Black People

Diddy needs to keep that fake political pundant ass on the bench. These statements if true are childishly stupid and show a level of rich ignorance. Just be quite and buy your son another 300K car. President Obama would have never gotten elected to office running on a platform base on the needs of the black community only. Instead of dabbling in political talking points try marrying one of those "baby mommas" and help the black male image in American.

Black Barbershop Outreach to Screen and Educate Black Men About Health

This is a great outreach program at the grassroot. Would be great to have this type of program in every urban community. Good health is priceless and no amount of money can replace it. Get checked out "Black Man".

Village where are our black children?

Yesterday, on a return from a mid morning coffee run I began to notice a sprinkling of school aged kids, scattered about the neighborhood (I live in the "hood"). As I continued to drive the more pronounce the street presence of these black school children became. I began to count them in my progression and by the count of eight I searched for reasons that might explain only remembering the school buses I saw running their usual schedules. At a head count of 12 and a block from my house I spotted number 13 on a shooter, black hooded, male black, approximately 11 years old and I just had to stop. I carefully pulled up curbside, let down the window and asked, "Hey, little man, is school opened today? He answered yeah, with hesitation in his voice. I pressed on, "so why aren't you in school?" He came right back with "I missed the bus and my momma didn't feel like taking me." I'm sitting there drying my teeth in disbelief almost told the kid to go get your books and I will take you, but decided against it for fear of being labeled a kidnapper. If it truly take a village to raise a child, Why are the village children roaming the street during prime learning time, while the elders are driving around clueless? This is an issue President Obama's education initiatives can't help if we the elders aren't holding up our end of the deal. Ironically, the "village to raise a child" proverb's origin is Africa and as descendents of Africa some could call us hypocritical in our finger pointing and blaming of a education system/schools that we can't facilitate getting our children to answer "present" when attendance is called. What can we do to do better in this area? Many of the actions require no funding, but discipline and will. Is this worth doing or will we leave this for the “good white folks” to do for us and blame them later for trying?
