I can’t stand that he’s gone. But I feel privileged to have heard his inspiring messages. And more importantly to know he enriched the lives of so many young men, especially those who probably grew up without a father. Sometimes the truth wasn’t pleasant to hear but he was never afraid to declare it. Rest in Power, Godfather.

[@delakidzz8131]

I'm glad I learned that early. Every since I've started doing these things I've noticed that alot of people removed themselves from me and it felt bad at first but then I noticed alot of good things started happening like men that were higher than me in status were offering me jobs and advice etc, women were approaching me and starting conversations . I started getting more wisdom and seeing the world and society in a different light and then I look back at how my life was before and I thank god because even tho I'm still not where I want to be I know I'm heading in the right direction.

@@thetoughgroup Well no if you actually look at the world it isn't fallen, it in general is objectivly a better place ( how ever small that it may, better is still better). For example would you like to go back in time 60+ years? Do you think life was overall better or worse?? Hell what about 150+ years back when slavery was rampant in the US? Ironically all the this improvement in medicine, morals, technology happens as belief in gods decline. I wish all the luck just remember the world is beyond you and there are more ways to be a decent human.

[@bobbylewisjr5250]

Wassup Godfather, I dig everything you stated. Last year I discovered you and started wearing a blazer, laptop carrying case (ect.) to work and it changed my self-perception and how people treated me. Personally, I'm a five-year barber turned naval veteran and I'll have my bachelors in 9 weeks. Not to mention I went through 5 different high schools and an abusive home as a kid before being placed with my grandfather, which gave me a chance to manifest the life that I’m manifesting. It's been a journey but your right, "you have to affirm our own greatness" and you must loose many when you are on this journey of going further and harder than others. The journey is so demanding that you must love and be tender with yourself because many don’t want to see a black man win! We gotta heal the trauma because it effects brothers like a hole in a water bucket… with the external pressure it’s important for brothers to heal their childhood trauma and throw away the poisonous pseudo masculinity that we MISTAUGHT by women (and spineless men) as children. We now see that those women couldn’t be FATHERS so they didn’t know what raising males was about. Also, we now see that women in the MATRIARCHY are struggling and giving up on being WOMEN which speaks volumes. I noticed you stated that it’s best to combat those who are rude (right on the spot of the insult/ slight). I had been on the fence about how to deal with people who try to act rude to a black man such as myself with integrity. I am between the place of combating slights and micro aggression's (while not wanting to feel that I appear feminine while checking someone) and also not paying attention to too may negative people because I have way more haters then ME’s (LOL) and I must conserve my energy. At the same time most, negative people are simply DISTRACTIONS. I don’t know if I’ve ever typed so much on KZbin but I’ drinking tea and doing schoolwork on my laptop so it was easy to type this up. If anything, I would advise black males to not feel too invested in combating aggressive demographics (feminists etc.) because things will change into a better state in not too long. ALL close and distant enemies of back males are now REVEALED, This is an amazing time to be a black man in AMERICA. Man I typed alot....

Yes sir , you spoke a mouthful of facts. The American "stratification system" wants black men on the bottom and this is what they admit in Sociology. All they can do to facilitate that end is socially isolate and ridicule a person in hopes of that person will succumb to not believing in themselves. This is is only done because when people climb out of the mud of society, undeserving privileged people MUST fall from the top if they don't belong there.
