Just my thoughts

If I could look at myself some years back, I don't know what I would think. Heck, if I could like at myself just a few months ago, I don't know what I would think. Some of the words I would use for myself a few years ago would be not ready, naïve, or just simply lacking the tools that I have right now.

A lot of my logic and ideology has change. Even the things we discuss on the blog. I tried to be more quiet, but I think about what type of lyrics we hear during songs, and I figured I can't be quiet forever. That I had to take risk, that it was my job to reach as many brothers as possible.

My job on this earth is to bring truth and give young brothers a idea or two. My job is to bring unity and dissolve the divide and hate that has hindered us for years.

My thoughts and ideas are not perfect, but they are getting better as I begin to see the world. A lot has happened and changed since I first wrote a post on here. Secondly, I have spent countless hours reading, writing, and just contemplating moves/ideas.

My hope and prayer everyday is that I be another avenue for young brothers to have when they need a recharge, have a question, or need some insight. I hope to be a brother (Big brother or little brother).

I just want to be a brother. A friend, a support, and a protector of the sister. I am my Brother's Keeper. My Brother's Keeper before and after the fact of any one idea, charity, or group.

I am my brother's keeper in the street, the store, the classroom, and even on social media.

When I created this, I just wanted to be a voice. To have a voice. To do something with my time and help change the world. With basically nothing, we have build to levels that I pray will only get bigger. However, for now I thank GOD for what we do have.

A lot has changed, but some hasn't. However, no matter what, I will always be the Brown Brother. And, so will you.

Melanin doesn't chip, crack, or wash-away. It stays with you forever. During the thick or thin. We as brothers, we as a people must stick together: Rather thick or thin.

Much Love,

The Brown Brother

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 ...

FASFA

I try to explore different topics and ideas to discuss/share on the blog. While going through some papers and looking through some stuff, I remember that I forget to write about this topic. Therefore, today we are going to talk about FASFA. First, you may ask, "What is FASFA." FASFA is federal aid or money for going to college. Although they said "federal aid", it is basically tax that is set aside for students who want to go to college, but need money to help pay for college. FASFA is available to students who have need and are looking to attend college (certificate program, associate degree, or 4 year degree). You need to fill out FASFA every year. FASFA should be filled out by any and every student. It is something that will without a doubt helpful in paying for school. 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...

Short Story of the Fatherless Black Male

I wrote this in the backseat of a car during a road trip. This post may have a couple of grammar errors and a couple of different ideas. But, this is how I truly felt. Let's get into it. I can't sugar-coat it or make it seem insignificant. Point blank, being a young black male without a father sucks. It worse than the stench of rotten eggs, and it feels worse than being hit by a truck at high speed. Being a fatherless male is like having half of your self taken away at birth. Being a father black male means going through life without a round-the-clock mentor, a disciplinary, a friend, a dad. I mean having a mom is a blessing within itself. Most fatherless males usually have a mom. However, if it took two to create, then it is best to take two to mold and build. And, let's be honest, it's some questions no dude feels comfortable or feels right asking their mom. That is just one of the reason why not having a father sucks. At the very least, it is a inconvenien...
