Throwback Thursday: Our Own Worst Enemy

 

Not one lie was told. When Malcolm X started calling out blacks for their destructive behavior, that's when some of them plotted to take him out, and unfortunately, that's what happened...the very people he tried to help were the ones who assassinated him. That goes to show you that your own people are your worst enemy.

Today's Thought: Can't Tell Me Nothing

When hit dogs bark, THEY BARK. All you have to do is tell the truth, and folks get in their feelings. Monique didn't say anything different than what some of our parents told us back in the day: Take pride in your appearance in public because some people judge you by how you look. Society is used to folks telling them what they want to hear. 

Society Wants Males, Not Men

He's not lying. Society wants men to be soft. If a man comes on strong, he's a threat. If he's meek, he's acceptable. I'm not saying a man should bully his way through life, but there are times where a man has to be hard.

 

Charleston White speaks on Black men never being around their kids "WHAT...

Listen to this interview by Charleston White. He's a former gangster who cleaned up his life and is now doing positive things in the community. Most of the black community's issues are traced back to lack of fathers. I've mentioned this a few times & I'll say it once more: I can't be friends with a man that's never around his kids. If he'll cross his own family, what's stopping him from crossing me? I don't need nonsense in my life.

Today's Thought: The Underdog

 

That's too much like right. It's easy to root for the high-achievers. They already have a good support system to help them shine, but what about the underdog? The person who has to fight through adversity just to get the same shot at success as others. They need inspiration, and probably more than most because of the extra hurdles they face & because they don't have a support system. I will always root for the underdog because to me, the underdog appreciates success more because of what they went through for it. It's nothing for high-achievers to shine, so I don't clap for them.

Wednesday Wisdom: Watch God Fix That

 

As I've gotten older, I understand the value of this statement. The time spent trying to repay someone could be better spent letting the offender(s) reap what they sow. They may not get theirs today, tomorrow or next week, but nobody gets away with misdeeds. Good or bad, we all will answer for our lives on Judgment Day.

Kwame Brown respond to CTG! And the breakfast club!

All I know of Kwame Brown is that he was a former NBA player. Apparently, he was the subject of ridicule for years and he's had enough. He goes in on Charlamagne The God & Breakfast Club, Stephen A Smith, Jemele Hill and others. In so many words, he calls out black men for lack of accountability, and acting like catty women. Not one lie was told because it's a lot of black men who have feminine ways, especially when they fix their mouth to degrade another man. I don't respect cupcake dudes like that.
