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

Hi, my Brothers; I have not posted anything in a couple of days. I was going to write about something different today. However, I saw this video and I had to share it. The anger and outrage I have can not be calculated because this video is too outrageous to believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJhIN0gUN30 The video link above will direct you to Youtube. Where it shows a video of four Young Brothers being harassed and thrown out of Walmart. It further shows one of the Young Brothers being arrested. They were not harassed and then arrested for Robbery or Theft; but for "JUST HANGING OUT AND SHOPPING TOO SLOW." Yes you heard me, for going to slow in the store. Now this I can't believe. Maybe something else will come out and show otherwise. However, if this was the Young Brothers only "behavior"; then this arrest and event is truly hard to believe. For anyone who has ever grown up in any city in the world, you know summer are boring. Now, ...

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...
