    To young, to black and to ethnocentric

    As a business owner, supervisor and a man I must say that I am starting to get exhausted. I am the youngest person in my office, I’m also the most educated, the most experienced, the most traveled and the most cultured. I grew up watching both my grandfather and father run their own separate...

    Annoyed

    I really get annoyed when people ask me about my parents and siblings. They were a pretty dysfunctional group, I was gas lighted and physically abused my entire life. It took me a long time to heal and forgive them. It's so annoying when you hear people say things like, "you need your mother in...

    How do you stop going

    Am I the only one that got so used to all nighters, staying up with the baby, that when everything is smooth and there is no work today I still don't get the extra sleep. It's like my body became immune and is addicted to the work. I guess I'm going to work on this new business plan for another...

    [MOVED] I want real honest opinions

    Lately on the news I just notice more and more black men dying. Truthfully it's either by the police or it's by the brother that looks just like you. I feel like to a degree in America either you stay who you are, who you were raised to be, the person you love or you conform and become a...

    What!?

    I think the American public is the most easily lead group of individuals. I was having this facebook conversation and it really began to upset me. So this woman was saying how black men support rape culture and how we always try to rule over black women. My question is, if a rapist goes to...

    I was proud of the rioters

    We all know about the situation in Baltimore. Me personally I was proud of the rioters I thought they did what needed to be done. We all have a education above 5th grade so we understand rioters and looters are different. I don't think the America government in general respects Americans lives...

    DV spinoff

    I'm making this thread because no one really gave me an in depth response to my logic. I would like to give a little of my personal information. I grew up witnessing my father being physically abused by my mother. She would hit him, talk down to him and just in general disrespect him. My...

    What do you think warning jumps around

    My personal issue with the police department seems a stereotypical macho man or ego sort of issue. I just have a belief that people have the right to take care of their children, protect them and shelter them from certain aspects of society. I personally have the belief that we as parents have a...

    I have done what everyone has suggested and limited my contact with my mother, everything has been peaceful and blessed. A little bit of the backstory. My uncle is a crackhead, the entire neighborhood knows he is a crackhead. It is not a hidden fact or a rumor. Well while my grandfather was...

    1st generation Americans

    I was listening to some reggae, and I thought about taking my family to jamaica. I spent summers there and it taught me how to appreciate my life and blessings living in a third world condition for a 3 months every summer. I think it did have negative affects on me, I am not very sensitive and I...

    Liberals vs the black community

    Sometimes my own people discourage me the most. Lately these policies that are coming out are horrible for the black community. Obama care is going to lead to classism in the medical field, new gun laws are going to leave law abiding citizens without protection especially when police arrivals...
