WHAT GOOD DADS DO

WHAT GOOD DADS DO

YOUNG BLACK LOVE

Is different from any other.
For the young lady, the young man,
It’s a different sense.
A feeling only some really experience.

Young Black Love is natural,
It’s not planned or pre-arranged.
It happens at moment’s notice,
And at times, ends just as fast.

But still the experience to love
A Black young man for a Black young lady
Is something her heart will never forget
And if her love is real, he won’t forget either.

Whether it be going to the “Friday night parties”
Or spending Sunday evening in the living room.
Talking every night on the phone about nothing
Or listening to Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway.

Black, young love is unique.
Together, hip, bad, and a good thang.
If you got it, keep it!
If you don’t, get it!

Dr. Martin Luther King Holiday

After the Holiday, the Work Continues

  

Civil rights advocates, from the national leaders to the local communities, began a fight years ago in the United States to compel those of European heritage to stop their practices of discrimination towards those of African descent.  As history has noted, those fights were often brutal, yet those civil rights soldiers who fought the fights; who marched the marches; who protested peacefully, did not waiver in their determination to make this nation look at itself and realize it was not living up to its creed.

As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday, we have to recognize that change has come.  The 1964 Civil Rights Act, the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 are tangible examples of progress not just for Blacks, but for society as a whole.  Community schools have improved and college education is more accessible.  There are successful Black entrepreneurs, business leaders, mayors and governors.  We have been the beneficiaries of those civil rights workers who dared to dream a reality that many understood they would never see.  Dr. King, himself, would not have imagined that a young man born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and White mother would someday be the president of the United States.

So where are we today?  Discrimination still exists.  Bigotry hasn’t been eradicated.  Prejudice still persists.  The unrest in our communities is real.  The desperation and hopeless doesn’t magically disappear with a new sunrise.  We have to find ways to help the hopeless.  We have to find ways to brighten spirits where darkness wants to reside.  We have to provide encouragement in places where people believe it can’t exist.

Those are the same challenges that those who began the fight for civil rights had to deal with.  They had to convince the hopeless, the naysayers, the desperate, and the darkened souls that things could change; that it could be better.  This is the same challenge today.  Even though there has been progress, we also know that this place is not the place it should be.  As we remember Dr. King and all of the early warriors for civil rights, understand that the push for progress is not easy.  Impediments are created solely to throttle progress.  Dr. King would tell you that.  He would also tell you that even at the darkest of night, the light of day is never very far away.  We must continue the fight.

ONCE AGAIN IT'S TIME FOR BLACKS IN ALABAMA TO LEAD THE WAY

The state of Alabama is the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement.  Decades of bigotry, discrimination, and segregation became the catalyst in the 1950’s for Black Alabamians to stand up collectively and say it was time for the government of Alabama to do what was right.

And now in the year 2017, the eyes of America are once again on the state of Alabama as its citizens go to the polls to determine who will be their next U. S. Senator.  The story of the Republican candidate has been well documented.  Most right-minded people would see the Republican candidate as not fit, nor deserving to serve as a U. S. Senator, yet there are many who prefer him over his Democratic opponent.

What that means is that, once again, Black Alabamians must make their collective voices heard loud and clear and make sure the Republican candidate is not elected.  Understand that how Black Alabamians respond to this election will have a profound influence on all elections for the next four years.  It will show that the vote is one of the greatest weapons in the war against bigotry.

So I encourage all Black Alabamians to vote on December 12^th and remind America that the people of Alabama have a history of understanding what is right and what isn’t.
