Stop apologizing
Apology after apology. It seems as if the only race of men that are always apologizing are African American. A month, much less a year, doesn’t go by where some famous African American male isn’t apologizing for something they have said or done. African American males are always apologizing, even when they say things that make sense. All apologies from African American males … [Read more...] about Stop apologizing
Limitations are limiting
People are born with limitless potential. Everyone has the potential to live and do whatever they choose.

Stop lying
A symptom of insanity is to believe in things that are not true – lies. In other words, to accept illusions instead of reality.

The Oreo Cookie and African Americans
“Every brother ain’t a brother…” Chuck D voiced this in the song, Welcome to the Terrordome. That lyric was true in 1990. It still is true in 2022 with the critical situation the African American community is in.

Therefore, African Americans have to unmask the Oreo … [Read more...] about The Oreo Cookie and African Americans

In 2022 the fashion industry is creating apparel supposedly designed to make everyone feel comfortable with themselves.
