This is just a short shout-out to all my friends. I am very blessed to be surrounded by ppl who believe in me. It seems like common sense, right? If your friends don't support you then maybe you have the wrong friends....but men, I wonder, do you all really have homeboys who encourage you? Do you have boys who congratulate you when your on your A game, who tell you about new opportunities and speak a positive word to you when you need it? Probly not...Y'all talk about weed, rap, girls, video games, homies who are locked up/killed and other randomness. If I'm stereotyping you, let me know.
I'm just saying: I have a support system of truly positive people who are like-minded and ambitious. They make me think and grow. One friend is entering law school; one is working for NFL Films; one is in aviation school; one just came back from doing research in Africa and the Dominican Republic; one just graduated with a degree in finance; one has a year left in school but has already secured himselfd a job on Wall Street; and many firmly believe in the word of God and speak that truth to me!
We are mostly at a place in life where we are content, confident, humble and excited about what lies ahead of us! And why shouldn't we be? We have descended from Imhotep, Nzingha, Cleopatra, Nefertiti, Sojourner, Madame CJ, Malcolm, Martin, Frederick Douglass and others...Kemet is our home, civilization begins with us, knowledge stems from the seeds we planted, royalty is our bloodline, and each day we are moving toward restoring, displaying and declaring that glory!
THEY DON'T WANT IT WITH US! LET'S GET IT!!!!!

Men period have a hard time because the roles are changing as men are taking the role of not being the bread winner. Women are moving up because we have no other choice and because some of us want to be independent. It is sad when a man has to lie about his position to make a name for himself. I am talking about Rick Ross, the rapper from Miami. He was once a Corrections Officer and he now pretends that he was a crooked one to make himself look good after saying he was a drug dealer and the likes. But he is not hanging around men who support him unless he is talking about doing something negative. THat is why when I see black men who go to college or have a trade or even who just work hard at a job, I admire and will always be supportive because it appears their male counterparts don't or won't for whatever reason.
