(very deep sigh) I can only speak for myself… (smile) It's on… (578 hits)


(very deep sigh) I can only speak for myself… (smile) It's on…

Is there some type of insecurity in Black men and their lives?

Look… I've been taught and have observed that the best person a black man CAN be is HIMSELF!!! If a black man WANTS the world to tremble in his presence, all he has to do is JUST be himself… (smile) The black man is the most feared, MOST misunderstood creature on this planet, and whomever can't be understood is usually feared… The best security comes from knowledge of self and in BEING self despite "influences" otherwise…

To quote Public Enemy’s Chuck D: “the minute they see me, fear me, the epitome of public enemy.” Sadly, this applies to both whites and Blacks.

The real problem is that Black people have been diminished and have become soft over the past three decades. The image of the Black man has been defined and redefined by so many outside of us, that many of us have no idea what one really looks like. Our image is so out of whack, that when a man shows up with principles based on something real, people don’t know how to deal with him and he seems insane to them.

Some of us get labeled as crazy and gangster for being so bold as to face and confront.

So, I’ve learned that I can’t do everything in the light. I’ve learned that I can neither look too good nor talk too wise. Everything is not for everyone and I won’t always be understood.

Most importantly, I’ve learned that I am not alone.

Secretly, the scared little rabbits hope that I will continue to stand up and stand out. They know it will call attention away from them.

So, call me crazy. Just don’t call me when they come to get you.
