Don't Let Anybody Take
Your Manhood
Social Commentary

never let anybody make you feel like you
are beyond redemption and never let
anybody take your manhood.
If they are determined to take your life,
determined to take your freedom,
determined to take your history; make
them fight for it. Regardless of your
background, mistakes, sexual
preferences or religious beliefs…never
forget that your manhood is a nonnegotiable asset that should never be
traded in to make others feel
comfortable with who you are.

Should we be concerned? Absolutely!
Should we be held accountable as
men and fathers? Absolutely! But by
no means should we relinquish our
manhood because we have fallen
short of what is expected of us. We
are still men, maybe not the men we
should be, but we can be.
.If we have the bloodline of gods and
kings flowing through our veins then
we can return to the majesty of our
ancestors. This is why black history
must go beyond the slave trade and
the oppression that came with it.

Egyptian history is black history,
biblical history is black history,
Moorish history is black history,
Islamic history is black history,
Malian history is black history,
Mayan, and Aztec history is black
history. In other words, world
history is black history.
A history black men should not be
ashamed of. Slavery and our
current fallen state is but one ripple
in time of our many contributions
to this planet. Never let anybody
make you feel like you’re hopeless,
