The Dream is Dead – Man Up Monday – 01-18-2016

MAN UP MONDAY 

It is with great sadness that I announce:

THE DREAM IS DEAD.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s “The Dream” is DEAD.

The Dream died when Black lives stopped mattering to Black people.

It died when twerking and stripping replaced learning and graduating.

It died when sagging and shooting replaced suits and submission to Scripture.

It died when “getting out of the hood” became more important than bringing empowerment to the hood.

It died when men started dressing like women and women started dressing like men and our strong Black youth became confused.

It died when our leaders became overseers who did nothing more than perpetuate the system of oppression for our people so that they could maintain their place in the house with “Massah”.

The Dream died when we divorced African from Christian and ignorantly thought we could prosper without Christ.

The dream is DEAD.

Who will revive it?

    | 01-18-2016 | Joseph Pridgen is kinda plain. You could look at Yahoo’s home page and note how
    they create news titles to grab viewers interested.
    You might add a related video or a related picture or two to grab readers interesteed
    about what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it might make your website a little livelier.
