Sometimes you really gotta check yourself and remember—other people’s opinions don’t mean a damn thing. Folks are so gullible, they’ll believe whatever’s blowing in the wind that day. So easily swayed. If my heart wasn’t in the right place, I’d be a billionaire just off people being that naive. It’s wild, honestly. Try to help them and they’ll come at you like you’re the enemy. Most don’t want the truth—they just want comfort, even if it’s killing them slowly.

Seems like every time you scroll through social media, someone’s out here trying to define what a “real man” is. And depending on who you ask, you’ll get a dozen different takes. Most of the time, it’s just people getting defensive—trying to validate themselves by saying whatever they bring to the table is what makes a real man.
But one thing I’ve noticed? You hardly ever hear people say a real man is someone with discipline, character, and a solid moral compass. It always goes straight to money or status like that’s the end-all-be-all.
Here’s the thing: a man with discipline, strong character, and values? He’s likely gonna find his way to success—including money. But the money doesn’t make the man. A criminal can make money. That doesn’t make him a real man.

You’ve got to get comfortable with failing or facing rejection. It’s one of the biggest things that holds people back from achieving big things. And honestly, I get it—nobody likes being told “no” over and over. It’s tough. But one thing life has taught me is this: the people who fail the most are the ones who win the most. The ones who avoid failure? They never win. Personally, I’d rather take a bunch of losses and win a few times than sit on the sidelines and never even get in the game.

You’ve got more control over your happiness than you think—it’s true. Don’t believe me? Try this: next time you’re at a sporting event, decide ahead of time that you’re there just to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the game, no matter who wins. By the end, you’ll feel good because you set the expectation for yourself, and it worked. It’s way better than pinning your happiness on your team winning, because let’s face it—what if they don’t? Don’t give that kind of power to anyone else. You’re the one in charge of your happiness. Own it. Make it happen.

Sometimes you gotta sit back and realize that you’ve been the only one fucking yourself up. I know it’s tough to point the finger at yourself, but blaming others is lame as hell. I aim to take fault even if I know it wasn’t completely my fault. I still could’ve done something to change the outcome for the better. It gives me a sense of control—and I fuckin’ like control. -
The Olympics will never be the same. No longer will these games move the competitive needle. Hell, even the NFL and NBA are suffering big losses in viewership (stop with the excuses on why the numbers are down). Competition is frowned upon, UNLESS it’s the Oppression Olympics. But, what if I told you that all of the grandstanding that’s been taking place is fake? Would you be mad at me for saying that? In response, would you call me an idiot and post a long tweet about how much you “care”? Get over yourself.
This has been on my heart for a long while. I’m black. From the inner city. Have been through and seen a lot of things. The worst thing I’ve ever seen done to black people since I’ve been alive is the so called “white guilt era”. The enabling of weakness. The fake outrage. Certain groups of white people using black issues to further their sick agendas. Political worship. Closet racism. I can go on and on. It’s sickening. I know many people that agree, but that’s only in real life. On social media though? Well, it’s social media. It’s a cesspool of idiocy. Spoiled brats that want everything given to them. They believe they deserve everything to live a great life. Oh, how great it must be to actually believe that.
I was in line at a grocery store after Biden “won” the election. A white guy was standing behind me and said “Isn’t it great to finally get rid of that fascist?”. I told him I didn’t like Biden and I’m not a supporter. He looked upset, but didn’t fire back. He asked why I felt that way. Ok: Proximity to crime bill, numerous racist comments, clear disrespect to specific individuals during a Zoom call with people from a specific demographic, refusal to meet with a black “leader” until after the election, etc. I told him every reason. Even with all that, he told me that he feels we’ll be better off with Biden over Trump. I told him, “…. have you ever thought of yourself as a racist?”. He was shocked by my question. I told him that proposing things that YOU THINK will fix African American issues is problematic. You are not black and you do not know what it will take to “fix” black America.
So, how do you fix black America. 1) NO MORE HANDOUTS. 2) STOP PRETENDING TO CARE ABOUT BLACK LIVES. Whenever I saw a black Trump supporter, they were attacked by not only black people, but white people alike. So, you think it’s ok to attack a black Trump supporter because they don’t agree with you? So it really ISN’T about black lives. You only want to “help” black people that agree with YOUR ideals. Says a lot. It says that you’re a fake and a phony. You use black people to look like you’re a moral elite. Low key, you’re racist. It’s ok though, you can fix it. 3) Simply go to black communities and voluntarily clean up the neighborhoods. Propose programs that fix up broken down homes, repaint street lines/poles/etc., cut grass and plant trees. For all the people who scream “Black Lives Matter” I still haven’t seen a huge movement of good people going to those neighborhoods and tackling the problems head on. 4) Provide tax breaks and loan forgiveness for black, first time black entrepreneurs. We actually had a pretty good plan in place but…. never mind. The white people that like to control black people will get mad if I finish that statement. They’ll probably get me banned like everyone else.
Fin. Just needed to vent. Any typos will remain.
Until next time.
