Black History Month



Black History Month


It’s February 2018, and we spiritually encounter and culturally embrace yet another Black History Month. Dr. Carter G. Woodson designated, dedicated, and desired for Black History “Week”, now Black History Month to be a time of great importance within our community. Although this month has became a month of learning, due to the fact of the mis-education of our people and an under-representation of African-Americans within modern/mainstream America. We have been truly blessed with the opportunity to continue to promote the narrative of black excellence and greatness for another year to another significant group of our people whom have not been made aware of our greatness.


As I stated on Twitter, the other day “Black History Month is a time to reflect on the greatness of a people. It is a distinctive time of dedication, which to pay honor to the ancestors, respect to the elders, educate the youth, and create new opportunities as well as prosperity for the future.” Black History Month is so special because we are able to accurately and freely recognize our people whom essence has been targeted to be eradicated through oppression and destruction. However, even though all adversity and adversaries, we still continue the fight.”



Therefore, this Black History Month take time to reflect, rejoice, and respond to the greatness of those whom have come before us and help create newer/wider paths for those whom will come after us.

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.

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...
