Today is a sad day. Although I have said this many times and we have discussed the Trayvon case numerous times. I must continue to vent and talk about something that means so much to us. This is off the top of the dome, so I am not tying to be politically correct at all. Today I have found out that George Zimmerman will not face any civil rights charges against him. I totally disagree and I am truly upset by the ruling. However, I have no power in the matter; but what I do have is a voice and an opinion. My mindset is that  it is utterly unfair and crashing that Zimmerman was not charged. How can someone not be charged I do not know. I kinda figured Zimmerman would not face any punishment, however I held out hope. This to me was just another slap in the face and blow to the body for me. However, although out of this case I have lost more than I have gained. I have without a doubt gained something that I will carry all of the days of my life: That is a life's purpose. I have been lit and torched by the decisions that have came in the past months and years. We must continue to fight and push for change. Even though at this point in your life, you may feel like you can't do nothing about it. Don't worry a lot of people feel this way. However, you can do something about it. You can stay in school and get an educated. By doing this you can change statistics and images labeled upon us. You can make something out of yourself and in turn makes change by your own hands. Second, you can continue to go to protests and other organized assemblies; people can not ignore us forever. Remember strength in numbers and united we stand (at all times). Last, you can become a individual who cares. Someone who votes and becomes a leader of men. A leader among fellows and a pastor or guidance for the people. Push the limits and labels, and go for gold in everyday part of our life.  Prove that we have value and know that fact in your heart and soul. Don't let anyone take away your soul or MANHOOD. Do what ever it takes, BY ANY MEANS NECCESARY.

Today I am hurt, angry, and sad. But out of this we must become stronger and more powerful. We must continue to grow and learn how to use our growth so that we can continue. Let's learn to be all that we can be and never let anyone or anything defeat us. The struggle continues and so does the fight.

Well, it is Black History Month. This is the time to honor those in the past and plan for the future.

I have began to find some amazing things on their. For more daily facts, follow me @BrownBrotherWeb on Twitter. Anyway, that got me to thinking. Every Black History Month, we usually hear the same facts. And, to those who are new to the idea of being aware of our greatness may get confused or closed in. Meaning, they think are achievements are limited to the same ones that they always hear. Therefore, I wanted to compiled a list of little know Black History Facts. Particularly, a list of things that were invented by Black Men. I wanted to do this to show our greatness and make those aware who are not that we are greater than any of our circumstances. That greatness can be achieved by anyone, and the only thing that one...

Mr. Alton Sterling & Mr. Philando Castile

I sat at my computer, and I logged on to Twitter. To my shocked, yet unsurprised emotions, another Black Man was killed in America. Once again, another hashtag was created. A father of children, and a provider killed again. His name was, no IS Mr. Alton Sterling. Mr. Sterling like I stated above was a father, and a man just trying to do what he could to be what he knew was being a man. In addition, as I read his case and looked at him. Something got me, and hit me hard. His stature and expressions reminded me of yet another case of a Black Man being killed that broke my heart: Mr. Eric Garner. Both men, simply doing the American way is of Entrepreneurship to make ends make. To take care of their families. However, both are gone to soon. Mr. Sterling is another case of the plight of being a Black Man in America. However, the situation and the state of my emotions got worse. Before I could even grief or disgust the case of Mr. Sterling murder, I heard that possible another black man wa...

RIP Mr. Dick Gregory

Mr. Dick Gregory was much more than a comedian. To simply say he was a comedian would almost water-down his greatness. The greatness in which he used a comedic style to educate those of various generations and philosophies. Mr. Dick Gregory was a man of intelligence, sophistication, and humor. Mr. Gregory was a truth seeker and one whom understood that a man must always investigate the conspiracy as well as facts written in the open to truly get a possible understanding of this cryptic world. Baba Gregory understood the importance of health and taking care of one's body. He understand the importance of a healthy spiritual life, and having a true connection with the one true universal GOD. And, the importance of being aware of our ancestors whom came before we all did. Furthermore, Mr. Gregory understood the importance of mental awareness, and the idea to continue to read and learn throughout the journey of life. Mr. Gregory activism and platform is beyond great, and very ...
