BLACK THANKSGIVING




We as African Americans should be ashamed that our own praise of athletes over scholars and rappers over activist has lead outsider observers of our culture label the NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND as BLACK THANKSGIVING. The Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964 THAT WASN'T even 50 years ago and we still do not know our history. WAKE UP

No Name


I was just sitting here and starting writing man it is black history month I am trying to figure out how many people really know their history. I guess I just wanted to blog about something I believe. In life we only see extensions of yourselves, our arms, our legs. We cannot see our back our even our face. The saying goes that the eyes are the window to the soul, we can't even see our own soul but everywhere you look you see the soul of others. You see other people in full you can see every part of every other person that is before us. You can see ever person on TV in magazines even the man on the corner, but you can't see yourself in full. I believe that it is a reminder from life the importance of other people, it is a natural reminder to be selfless. Because if you look at things on the surface those people are greater than you, not greater in belief or greater in worth but when ever you look at a person their being is greater than your being. I look around where I am now all I see is pieces of me but I see the whole of every woman and man around me.
