I think that in this season, while we rightfully celebrate the birth of Christ, we need to take a moment to think about Joseph.

What in the h–l do Black Men WANT?
To be clear: I am not saying I speak for all Black Men: I am speaking on some insights I have gained from talking to brothers, observing them online and off and watching how they are portrayed. I've been thinking a lot about how to answer this question. What we want is simple. It is... Continue Reading →
My different take on #blacklivesmatter
https://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/images/ParticipantWifeNurse.gif From CDC Website History lesson for those interested. This link is an official government timeline of the Tuskegee Experiment Remember this lasted 40 years ending in 1972.
