Black men need to love other black men!

Sounds funny doesnt it lol.

Im not talking about in "that" way.

Black men really have a problem loving each other in our communities and their isnt enough talk about that going on.

So why do we need to love each other more anyway?

Because if we loved each other more we wouldnt stand seeing other black men going to jail in record numbers.

If we loved each other more then we wouldnt stand for other men coming into our community, taking the wealth of our communities through their businesses and taking it back to their neighborhood to take their children to private schools while ours beg the adults in the street for quarters nickels and dimes just so they can get a sandwich to eat, because they might not have anything at home.

Now im not blaming the black man.

Everytime black men established their own grassroots movements to solve their own problems there has always been a concerted effort to destroy those movements by the federal state and municipal government itself.

Whether you talk about marcus garvey's movement (destroyed by J Edgar Hoover and the FBI), the riff between malcolm x and elijah muhammad (FBI sent made up letters to both of these guys saying it was from the other, and prevented appology letters from getting to each other).

Same thing happened with the Black Panthers, SNCC, Martin Luther King (Hoover tried to blackmail King and actually suggested that he commit suicide).

These are obstacles we are going to inevitbly face.

And many of us instinctively knows this, so we choose not to do anything to help our condition.

I understand lol.

But this is what all men do if they want to survive.

We have to ensure our survival on earth by bringing together black men and collectively say "HELL NO!"

"We are not going to let any other group of men take over our communities economically!"

This is the true measure of being a man.

Men own, control, provide for and protect their neighborhoods from the exploitation of other groups of men, period!

Chemical Brothers: Let Forever Be




Daft Punk - Around The World

Call 2 Action For all brothers in baltimore

on fathers day I attended an event at the baltimore convention center.

black activists of all types came out to speak on the issues concerning black adult males in baltimore

there were about 20 to 30 speakers the majority local but the ones who really shook up the place were susan taylor and micheal eric dyson

miss taylor talked abouthow black people are over consumed with personal consumption and fulfillment other than saving our children (i rarely see people talking about how we are going to save our communities from all of these problems on blogs by the way)

she talked about how other groups look at us and laugh at us because we are more concerned with accumulating high priced trinkets as opposed to saving our children

she also spoke about hatian history (the history of the hatian revolution is something I have q great deal of interest in)

she talked about how the hatians took over that country and how the french when they fought the hatian men had to get help from the spanish and the british and at the end of the fighting the french, british and the spanish went back to europe HUMILIATED

she was awesome

and of course micheal eric dyson was ok with his critique of black males

talking about how black men should take responsibility for our community but he and susan taylor also condemned the government for denying black mem opportunities in the community and setting them up to commit crime so they can feed millions of people by going to prison

and by the way one of the lectures really struck me

it aaid that over 48% of black males 16 and over are UNEMPLOYED or UNDEREMPLOYED

as far as I was concerned he didn't have to say anything else

what is the responsiblity of a group of men when they don't have adequate job opportunities to support their family and children

who's taking care of them

and why would this government rather invest billions of dollars into law schools and building new prisons as opposed to providing ample employment for these men

has anyone remebered fathers day

I know, I know. my fathers not the greatest guy too.

but at least he created me lol

been all around blogville, haven't seen too much love given to the fathers

I know my father isn't even worth mentioning but I love him till this day even though he doesn't want to see me unless I got some money lol

fathers don't realize how valuable they are

mainly because there is so much animosity towards the black male father in our culture

but the black man was the first father

he created (along with the black woman) all of the other races in the world (white, asian, arabs, etc.)

as a matter of fact, as the great afrikan historian dr cheihk anta diop says, if black people never left afrika to populate the rest of the world then every other place on earth would have been a desert

every race on earth should thank god that the black man led some afrikans out of afrika to create all other human beings

there is a fascinating dicumentary on the subject called "the journey of man" chartering the voyage of afrikans from afrika to the rest of the world

with all the turmoil we go through there are still good fathers out there

and if some aren't good they haven't been taught to be good

I salute all of yall

thank you ancestors for keeping the lineage alive

You know im just saying this to get you mad!

Lately people have really been getting me upset very easily.

Then when things are said and done, and i finally cool down, it seems like theres someone else waiting in the wind to push the magic buttons to release that psychopathic aspect of my personality.

So fam, what is it?

What's the threshold that someone can cross to make you kurk and murk out at the drop of a dime (act a fool lol)?

C'mon speak on it.

I wanna know what to do if you ever piss me off lol (kidding)!

Happy Black Music Month!!!!!!

This is the Man they call Chuck Berry. You might not know who this guy is but every rock and roll album after his coming was influenced by this brother right here. Every corny white boy and their band you can think of (rolling stones, beatles, the who, jerry lee lewis, elvis, the list goes on forever) shamelessly copied his style and reproduced his tracks to appeal to the wider audience. Even elvis's mom once told him "your good, but you're no chuck berry!" Read about him in history class, never really listened to his stuff. But after hearing cuts like this, "catch me if you can," "maybelline," "school days," johnny be good" (back to the future #1), i can see why he was so popular then and now.

I was talking to this young lady (who just happened to be caucasian) and she was telling me that she was going to st.louis to live so that she could occasionally see Chuck Berry show up at a local joint. Feeling kind of bad (because she had more of an appreciation for him then i did) i said "what choo know about chuck berry, all of the rock and roll artists from back in the day stole from him."

It's really ashamed that other people have more of an appreciation for our musical history then we do. Black music is the only music in this country that is trully original. We've had soooooooo many musical geniuses that have come and gone it's ridiculous (Louis Armstrong, John Coltrane, Louis Jordan, Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Billie Holiday, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Diana Ross, Ella Fitzgerald, Sam Cooke).

Please know your history. Dr. Yosef Ben Jochannan said "your history is your power!"

Of the Hands, the Feet, and the Belly

He who foolishly leaves his relatives unprotected should know that he thus decieves himself.

Nor is anything of value to a man except his own, as appears in this story.

The feet and the hands being jealous, accused the belly, speaking in the fashion: "You alone hold all our gains and enjoy them.

To us falls the works, to you the pleasure. While we strive with pain, you eat and swallow with pleasure. So choose one of two things: learn a task with which you can maintain yourselfor suffer from creul hunger."

And so they ceased to support them.

The stomach not knowing how to maintain himself, in great humilty begged the help of each of them once, twice, and many times, but they refused him for many days, so that, being without food for a long time, the heat of the stomach died and thirst seized their throat, and thus nature fled

The feet and the hands, although too late, seeing that the whole body was going to die and they with it, brought food and edibles in abundance, but they did not profit it because the stomach could not tolerate the food.

So the body died and with it the hands and feet and stomach.

This fable means that NO ONE is sufficient unto himself, that every man needs relatives and friends, at that we must work each at own at his job, although it may seem to us that at first glance that we are working for others, for for the profit they derive from it will return to us in a roundabout way.

Thus, if we do for others, let us at least do it for the good we will recieve ourselves.

keating and keller: aesop's fables: with a life of aesop, 1993 pg. 103-04, University Press of Kentucky

Yeah some of us might be doing fabulously well, but we should not forget where we came from.

While the people who run this society are elevating a good number of black people to higher economic status. They are mowing a great deal of blacks down at the bottom down (imprisoning them en masse, terrible education in decreped schools, lack of sustainable employment etc.)

And this is what a lot of Blacks on the top will be saying if things get toooooooooo bad.


This is the lesson that we all should learn. We are in this thing together. No matter what we are all in the same boat.

Oh, and by the way, don't go to the site at the last part of the video if you love Obama, lol.
