“A man is not truly educated until he realizes the urgency in which he must rebuild his community.” ~Isaac Kwabena
Watching hidden colors all day, reading every black power book, listening to Malcolm X speeches is all cool but if you can’t apply the knowledge that you’re learning to bring about some change to your people then it’s all useless. Being a good teacher/coach takes skill. There’s much more that goes into it than just quoting documentaries. SanCopha Jewels…..

Now I’m not telling you to tell your son to go out with his hair matted to the side of his head or dirty, and not all black people do this but too often I hear black people tell young black boys that they got to “cut that nappy shit” or “aint no way we’re going to let you grow your hair”. They’re shamed for letting their hair grow and their parents are uncomfortable with it. It just goes along with Black people and our negative views about our own hair.
I work in the education system and I notice that young White, Asian, and Latin boys are allowed to rock a variety of short-mid length hairstyles. They are not just limited to the “low cut”. It seems that when Black boys try to do it they not only get made fun of as it being “nappy, ugly, peazy” but it’s reinforced by their parents.
We as a people think that when our hair grows out of our head it is unpresentable and we pass it down to our children. The only way a Black boy is presentable is when his hair is “clean-cut”. It’s a mindset that needs to change. We have to promote our own images.

“One of the biggest complaints many people have when it comes to visiting their local beauty-supply store is that they’re typically owned by nonblack people. But there’s one store in Moreno Valley, Calif., that’s changing the face of beauty-supply-store ownership.
Kayla Davis, 19, and Keonna Davis, 21, are sisters who are making hair and entrepreneurship history in California. They are now the youngest owners of a beauty-supply store.
KD Haircare Supply is located at 24453 Sunnymead Blvd. in Moreno Valley. The store is stocked with everything from natural-hair products to wigs and weaves, so there’s something available for all hair preferences.”(TheRoot.Com)
Now we can stop giving our money to the Asians…

The behead of Japanese citizens, to Mumbai bombing in India, to terrorist stabbing in China. Is that white people? How about the bombing in Turkey? Is that White people? Give the Muslims some credit now.Save your white tears for ppl who care, actually cry me a river, build bridge and get over it
“jay Z’s fledgling music streaming platform Tidal is donating $1.5 million to Black Lives Matter and several other local and national social justice organizations. The announcement was made on Friday, the same day Trayvon Martin would have turned 21-years-old. The Trayvon Martin Foundation will receive a portion of the money.”

Nate Parker’s Film, Birth of a Nation, premiered this past Monday. He recently sat down and commented on the racism in this country and why he chose that film title.
“This is what I think: that we as artists have to understand that there is pervasive racism in Hollywood and in America, and we can either pick the weed, or we can roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty and get into the root. Our problem, what we’re dealing with right now, is foundational. The business of Hollywood was built on the propaganda of D.W. Griffith and [1915’s] The Birth of a Nation. It was the very first feature film that played in the White House and it was an enormous success, yet it said one thing: Embrace white supremacy, and you will survive. That was his message. And America embraced it.
It was critical that I use this title. I wanted to put a spotlight on this film — what it did to America, what it did to our film industry, what it did to people of color with respect for domestic terrorism. There’s blood on that title, so I wanted to repurpose it. From now on, The Birth of a Nation is attached to Nat Turner, one of the bravest revolutionaries this country has ever seen.”

Yesterday Cam addressed the issues why he has received more scrutiny and critics than more athletes!

He received an award for the film but that’s not what stood out to me. Before the movie, he was a street vendor trying to make a living and support his family. For a young black boy to come from the streets, land a movie role with no prior acting experience, and kill it the way he did……That’s what stood out to me. That’s what makes it Black Excellence. When given the opportunity, there is nothing Black boys cannot do.
