Black means not to just lay it up, but to crossover and clap boards. Black means not needing to know, in order to understand. Black means a 10,000 year walk in the sun.
When was the election for Blackest man, and why did I not receive the landslide of write-in votes that is my due?!?!?!?!?
I demand a recount! The vote was fixed! My people were denied access to the ballot box! I will not be denied my rightful place as the Blackest man on the planet and that includes the internet.
Just because my campaign doesn't have the corporate support from Time or Photoshop or whoever does your graphics (which by the way are very good), doesn't mean we will be ignored. What's a Black man got to do to get some respect around here?
For more than three years, authors Bill Cosby and Alvin F. Poussaint have been listening to the voices at community call-outs in cities across the country. Their latest book, Come On People, due out October 9 in bookstores nationwide, combines messages of personal responsibility with practical solutions, and retells the incredible stories shared at these call-outs.
Come On People is for all those who are tired of being used, neglected and undefended—folks who wish to see changes in their governments, their neighborhoods, on their streets and within the walls of their living spaces.
At www.BillCosby.com you will find a forum called "The Cos," that is designed for community members to discuss issues beyond those addressed in the book, as well as a place for people to come together and offer solutions. It's time to have the courage to believe you can do better by asking for help and not being afraid to move forward.
No matter your economic status, no matter your age, no matter your race, no matter your gender, and no matter your religion, we are all allies in changing our future for the better.

Well Skip,
Black means not to just lay it up, but to crossover and clap boards. Black means not needing to know, in order to understand. Black means a 10,000 year walk in the sun.

ReplyDeleteAccra. Skip's my boy. I know his style.
Plus, NeoLiberal white cats like to pretend equality means "the same".
Acknowledgment of that intangible energy that is black reminds them of that in which they already obsess.
