Dear White People....

Interesting. Not sure how I feel about this. The "this is not what Black people are" theme seems kind of tired to me. Only because its usually the same nonviolent, pseudo intellectual witty reply that really doesn't change anything. Violence may not be the answer either but just for my own peace of mind of LOVE to see a movie where the Black folk stop being so cool about things and start seriously reacting to the nonsense. It's 2012 and everyone knows better. Take off the kid gloves.....

“Perceptions & Expectations Of Today’s Black Man”

A few weeks ago I had the honor of being invited on a panel of men to speak on a number issues facing Black men today. Hosted by the good Dr. Vibes it was a spirited 2+ hour session. The panel has now been made available for replay and download. So hop over to the online home of the Dr Vibe Show and check it out.

Thanks to all of you for the support I received to do this.

Look What You've Made Me.......

It's funny what one conversation can do to/for you. Having a casual chat with good company then finding yourself in a personal moment of self examination and deep perspective change. 

Let's set the stage a bit. I'm a 31 yr old man......a Black Man........a Black Man in America. That's what I am. It is not all that I am but if you ask me how I view myself then that's what you'll get. That comes with much good, much bad, much ugly. To this point in my life everyone I've dealt with understood what that means without need of explanation or clarification. In my world pre Toronto, that was just how it was. There was never a questioning of that. Issues of race come up all the time but always with the understanding of where I was coming from. As America's 1st Black President prepares for re-election season, the nation's racial tensions have been on an extreme wave that I've never seen before....case in point Trayvon Martin. Trayvon's name sparks those sensitive convo's pretty consistently. That was the case last Saturday.....

Words From Sam Jack

“I’ve said to White Hollywood folks, ‘First thing you need to understand is, I am a nigga. I’m a nice guy, but there are certain things that go ‘click,’ and I become that guy y’all really worry about at night. ‘Cuz that’s really who I am.’ I learned how to live in two worlds. That’s my whole life. That’s why y’all hire me. I am genuine. I bring something genuine about that type of guy who scares White people they can safely watch on screen.”
— Samuel L. Jackson, Ebony Magazine
