All the conversations I have had with my students compiled and stylized for consumption...for the culture.✊🏿🇬🇭✊🏿 https://www.amazon.com/Simplicity-Greatness-conversation-resident-Teacher/dp/1985735989/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1520433566&sr=8-2&keywords=the+simplicity+of+greatness

Y’all hitting me with the “Black man, Brother help a black man out, buy my *insert brand” And I watch you take my dollar to the Gucci...

When you are black and you hate on black businesses you sound dumb and here is why. 1. Often times you patronize a non black franchise and not a non white mom and pop. It's not fair to compare a conglomerate supported by a hedge fund (that has to adhere to a script to keep the franchise) to Keisha and her nephew. 2. When you DO patronize a non black mom and pop, are you greeted and welcomed as one of their own? At the nail shop? At the gas station? At the liquor store? At the Maxwells? So when Keisha and her nephew don't do backflips, were you as offended when you were followed through the store at the Beauty Supply? 3. We've all had bad experiences with service etc. When your Starbucks was made wrong were you done with white business? How about when Subway's bread made you sick? You still eat Chipotle huh? When you found out Dasani uses tap water? Oh but Keisha and her nephew better hit you with all the yessuh, nosuh, make it within 2 minutes of ordering, etc. AND a hookup or it's f*** black businesses? Yea some of y'all dumb as hell.

Boosie Badazz smh. This "I'm doing me" culture is detrimental to the collective. The manufactured competition when you're not clear about your manhood. When you don't understand finances but know how to count cash. Jay-z made a comment about holding money to your ear without mentioning names and this guy goes on a rant about it. Clearly the message is for the easily influenced; the babies. He was using his platform to effect the youth positively. He responds Jay -z "ain't my daddy." This is the same guy who needed kidney surgery and without insurance paid 90k cash. See rich people don't carry cash. They deplore it. It's not working for you if you're holding it playing imaginary telephone games.

It's really simple. "SLEEP" 😴holidays come with gifts. That is why It's an easy indoctrination. It's not about substance. St. Pats? You get a Drink. Cinco De Mayo? You get a shot and tacos, Valentines/Sweetest? Candy. Christmas!? the big payoff. With "WOKE" ✊🏿holidays; compounded with a people still finding themselves as a union, defining their moral compass etc. requires work. You want people who won't read lengthy text messages to read daily and learn new foreign words (when subject verb agreement is still lost on many) just to light candles? Tough sell to people used to turning up for holidays. Not because they chose theirs over ours. People associate these holidays with the drinks, gifts and romance not their race or historical context (I give 2 damns about Pulaski, but I know I'll be off) I challenge promoters to make our holidays a wavy. "A kwanza jazz set with wine provided by..."The others have a WAYYYYY better marketing apparatus. Nobody white in America is even celebrating for historical reasons....they are here for the goodies. We good? Y'all clear? Cool.

🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿My students are just awesome as hell. An act of love unsolicited. This was not the teachers idea etc. They decided to buy a gift for a student who is often treated unkindly by the "cool" kids for his birthday. These are the reasons I still believe in the future.
