As always I am trying to make the Brown Brother the best possible. In addition to (almost) daily postings and books of the month; I am going to start boarding our brains. I am about to start introducing The Brown Brother's W.O.T.W.


The Brown Brother will feature a Word of the Week. We will introduce a different word and the definition. Just trying to make us smarter that's it. Some of the words will be simple and other complex; however each word will reflect how I feel. Or a word that will coexist with our current state of feeling as well as emotions (as African-American males). Therefore, here is the first ever Brown Brother's word of the week.


The WORD is Discontent.


Discontent- Lack of peace and/or happiness; dissatisfaction with one's circumstances.


I am very discontent with the frequency of the hashtags that announce the unnecessary deaths of unarmed African-American males.


The word discontent is a Noun.

A simple summary is basically this: (1) Wait until you or parents file Income Tax (2) Go to this website- https://fafsa.ed.gov/ (3) Create a account (4) Fill out all of the informat...

Personal Finance for Black Males

I don't follow Kanye West on any social media outlet. I don't listen to any of Kanye West music, and when he become "Kanye West Kardishian", I really stopped listening to him. However, every since he was approaching his album release, he has been tweeting like a mad man. He has been trending non-stop on Twitter, and a lot of his tweets have been outrageous. However, one caught my attention and the attention of countless others. He stated in one of his tweets that he is "53 Million Dollars" in personal debt. Now, I think that Kanye is either a good actor or mentally insane. But, either way, if he owes 53 million dollars to anybody then this is beyond shameful. I heard that Kanye is begging Facebook's owner (Mark Zuckerberg) for money and is asking for people to pray for him. Now, I have zero sympathy for Kanye West. But, I do feel that he is not the same Kanye West that everyone respected. He is not the same Jesus Walks, Kanye. But, anyway this mad...
