The man has the right to express himself as he see fit. That's what "Cultivating Minds To Own Thyself," is all about. Full self expression. 


No one knows what he's experiencing because his experience is only for him to experience. Society have moved away from being empathic and compassionate towards the feelings of others, especially Black Men.

One minute they want the Alfa-male, "no emotion just physical and mental strength." The next minute they want men in dresses and gowns." 

When the Alfa-man reaches a breaking point due to all the built up pressure against him, they want to deem him as being weak, being a bitch." When in reality the weak man is the man who is afraid to show emotion because of how he think society will react to him. He's controlled by what people think, say and do. He don't own himself, so he's weak. 

Again, I say he has the right to express himself freely and it's unrighteous for society to bash his expression of pain.

Then they say, “Financial Aid, you can take out loans to cover your cost and you can pay them back after you graduate college.”   Now we believe a college degree is the way to securing a job position and a way to get out of poverty. “If I graduate from college, I can get the job I want and live comfortably… “If I gradua...

CAMILIA TERRY

          After doing my research on Camilia Terry, I came up with an opinion of my own. First thing, for those of you who say you would have beaten her behind and what not, you would have been in jail as well. I understand you all have hurt inside, but murder is the same sin as beating her up, lying and stealing. Negativity gets you nowhere in life. Do your research before judging someone. I’m sure many of you with these negative feedback's are young minded, uneducated, and have no connection with Jesus Christ.           Yes, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, but picture yourself growing up in a foster home and the reason you were there in the first place is because your parents were dysfunctional and you were physically, mentally, sexually and emotional abused. Picture yourself as a single14year old mother in foster care. You think you found love and you didn’t because you don...
