Will the real men please stand up?

First off I would like to give praises to my lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Without him I am nothing. Now, getting to the reason for this blog entry. Where are all the real men at? Where are all the fathers at? We seem to have a HUGE shortage of them and have for a long time now. The ones that are doing what they are supposed to be doing are getting overshadowed by the negative stereotypes that has plagued us for over four hundred years. We need to start stepping up and stop making excuses for not getting ahead and start creating ways to succeed. It's hard as hell I know but what is achievement, true achievement without hard work? I come from experience when I say that we need our fathers in our lives because our women can't do it by themselves. We are not setting a good example for the ones that's going to succeed us in the future. Once we can move away from the "ni$$er" mentality then we can be able to focus more and have a clearer understanding of what to do with our lives. It's easy to make a baby but it definitely takes a "real" man to raise one. So in conclusion, will the real men please stand up?

It's a new day for America and for African Americans

I just want to start off by thanking and praising my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ for always being there for us. God is "awesome", all the time. First the nomination as the Democratic candidate and now the nomination for President of the United States of America, and he just happens to be the first black, African American, etc., to do so. This is just an overwhelmingly great feeling to have witnessed this miraculous moment in time. Change finally has come and we are a part of it. Now all we have to do is put in the hard work to make that change happen. We let Dr. King down but can make that up by getting it done with our new black Commander in Chief. Gone now are the many excuses used to describe why we can't get ahead. If this doesn't "change" us then nothing will. And now more than ever, should we further more work even harder to bury the word(and it's context)nigger, niggah, nigga,etc. There should be plans to eliminate all negativity amongst us so that we can pull together like we should have done in the first place and once and for all, prosper. Like I said before, it starts from within so let's make it happen people. Other than that, we have a Black President! God bless you all and hope to hear from you real soon.
