  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that.

Aiding & Assisting by Emmanuel Brown

Support could come from many different ways, it does always mean to carry the weight of another person and it does not always mean that there requires any pain or strain. Giving someone else support usually ends up being mutually beneficial, when it can be something that could be used in a cycle.

Black Men and Black Women really need to work together more to see progress that can create different areas of growth that will benefit black people as a whole. This is not to exclude anyone, but it is to bring balance and prosperity to black people through black people.

Black Men and Black Women have the opportunity to gain much more control over our future, when we work together towards our future. There are times that we turn the other cheek, deny one another, and always feel like we have to be in competition with our own people.

Black Men and Black Women are doing amazing things, but all black people are not always aware of our own accomplishments since we do not always speak highly of each other. We can not and should believe that others will support our people fully, when we are not highly supportive of our own people.

There are plenty of initiatives that were created to show support to our people and we should all consider supporting those with an open mind. Let's work together - we will get much further.

Emmanuel Brown is currently working on the following initiatives through SeeinGrowth.com: Online community looking to refer 10,000 Black-owned Businesses to the Black community, Initiative seeking 1,000 mentors to reduce violence, and Black History program seeking 730 positive Black Men and Women to share their stories to serve as positive influences.
