What Are You Thankful For

Y'all already know I'm a real one, I am posting on Thanksgiving as the sides are currently being fixed. This couch I'm sitting on is soft and surprisingly the Wifi is good, so I'm good.


Anyway, My Brothers, I wanted to talk to you about life. Although, today is a holiday, it is also a day of remembrance for our Native American (extended family) who give Us this tradition. So, I want to talk to y'all about the importance of this holiday. This year as you sit back and eat good food, I want you to think about what is it that you truly cherish. And, how you have transformed these past eleven months.


Life is so crazy that at the end of the day, just to be breathing is a gift within itself. Therefore, no matter how your life is (good or bad), you have something to be thankful for. The blind man can be happy he has hearing. The poor man can be happy he has sight. And, the Young Brother can be happy he is still alive in a society that says he will not see his 18th birthday.


See being thankful for videos game and tennis shoes is okay, however being truly thankful is something that is far from materiel things. Therefore, I ask you: What are you thank for?


Personally, I am thankful for family. I am thankful that GOD has opened my eyes and has given me a aware mind, because there was a time where I wasn't woke. I am thankful that I am not a hashtag. I am even thankful for all the challenges that have come in my life. Because, I truly know that if they were past obstacles, I have previously beat those odds/obstacles to be talking to you on this Turkey Day.


In closing, short and simple. Take time today to Thank GOD for the important things in life. Eat, get some R&R, participate in #BoycottBlackFriday, and recharge so you can continue fighting the GOOD FIGHT with me!!!


With a hungry stomach, but most importantly a constantly hungry WILL to learn. Happy Holidays and Happy Thanksgiving,


The Brown Brother


PS: A special and sincere Thank YOU to all the men and women who have served as well as are actively serving. Thank You for everything this Thanksgiving.

RIP Muhammad Ali (The Greatest)

As you have heard the sad news by now, the great Muhammad Ali has passed on. He was laid to rest yesterday. When I say passed on, he has moved on to another journey. To another place to inspire, love, encourage, and communicate without bounds or limits. Mr. Ali is free yet again. I don't have to say what Mr. Ali meant to me. Just from past articles, tweets, and videos, you guys already know what he meant to me. He was a inspiration, hero, mentor, and someone to look up to and listen; learning and hanging on to has every word. Even if those words were 50 years old, they still hold relevance to this very day. I am keeping this post short, because no true words can describe what he meant to me, to all of us. However, I will end this post like this. Heroes are remembered, but legends never die. Therefore, he was the greatest legend ALL-TIME. And, he will live on as long as WE as a PEOPLE are still ALIVE!!!!! Rest Easy Champ!!!!!!!

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 ...

                                                          "#TheFlagMustGo" Growing up, I have seen the Confederate flag so many times I could not count. As, a Young age I knew the Flag was wrong. Then, as I got older I was about to study the origins as well as the very people who created, represented, and coveted the flag; I truly had my answer: The Flag Must Go. Before, I give my opinion; I am going to give y'all unmistakable and unarguable facts. In 1861, politician William Porcher Miles designed the flag. As I studied the very man who created the "confederacy flag." I wanted to understand his doctrine and beliefs. I wanted to see what he wanted to create, pass-down, and strength who's cau...
