Depending on the personalities, conflicting perspectives often turn into trolling or misinformation from one or both parties in the conversation. When it comes to Melanated people, most of what we see, hear, eat and breathe are things that are detrimental to us getting closer to our God self. We lower ourselves to the competition or opposers with most of the conversations that we give energy to. It’s easy to say “spread love” without actually giving examples of how to do so. When you see someone that looks like you talking about themselves negatively, that’s your opportunity to pick them up with your words, tell them to shake that off and be them! If people are arguing about a date and who should be paying what, then they shouldn’t be dating, they still have a lot of self growing to do. I love my people, I know the power of my people, if we start with the little things, it won’t feel like we’re climbing up such a big hill. This next section may sound dramatic but I have to be honest about what this is…We must realize that we’re in and move like we’re in a war. The whole “independent” talk should be dead as of summer 2022. Your enemy/opposer knowing that a man and woman are divided apart can hop and skip with a smile to destroy you. Whether it’s focusing on algorithms and dangling things that you like in your face to keep you on your phone, whether it’s seeing a woman or girl walking alone and snatching her up while she’s walking home ALONE, whether it’s showing nothing but ass and thick bodies on a man’s timeline while he already has his fine woman at home, whether it’s shooting you unjustly with a badge on, the list goes on and on as they don’t expect the proper repercussions for doing these things to a divided group of people. Start small to get better, speak higher about one another on a consistent basis and notice the change in our people simply off of our words alone. #Meud

Fresh out of your shower, apply your cologne to the middle of your chest, the insidebendingportion of your elbow, along with your wrist. Rub the excess cologne from your wrist onto your mustache and on or behind your ears. When you sweat, you'll naturally exude your cologne. #Meud

No matter what you do, there's always going to be people thinking and/or speaking against your moves. Mean what you say and do, follow through with your actions and continue togrow. Putting energy into thinking about what other people think about you is actually taking away from the energy that should be usedto master yourcraft. #Meud

As a group of people, you should demand things for your community. It’s foolish not to make a candidate earn your vote with actualtangibles(an asset or resource capable of being appraised at an actual or approximatevalue). If the said candidate knows that they can count on a group of people to vote for them, solely based on them being apart of a specific “party” then they have no incentive or pressure to give the said group or community anything specific. Not only is it not being asked for by the majority ofourgroup but the majority of our group is proud to say that they'll always vote for a specific party no matter what. It's not about sticking to a party, its about going with whichever party that's willing to give us actual tangibles. You have to know the game if you're truly going to play. I’m not against voting by no means, I’m just saying that we need todemandtangibles in return for our vote! Simple math. #Meud

I understand that we’re in a monkey see monkey do era. I understand that it's common to get information from the mainstream media. I also understand that some people take whatever these mainstream outlets say as law without doing any independent research. With the history of this land, we as a people should question everything, we should research everything, never wholeheartedly take what the mainstream media is telling you. Some of us have the best intentions for our people yet we're the ones questioned and/or labeled as "conspiracy theorist" by the same people that don’t question what they’re told by the mainstream media. We have to get out of that space that the majority of us have been in for so long. There’s a reason why they criminalize, censor, make up lies, push propaganda against and sometimes “eliminate” the ones that speak truth and power to their people. The last thing that they want to see, is us on code, unified and questioning everything that they tell us before we move. #Meud

Whether we want to believe it or not. The ones who are in control of what we see on our tv, phone and movie screens, what we eat at the most "convenient" price, what we hear on the mainstream news and/or radio, do not have our best interest. In fact they have the worse interest possible. Ride with me for a second...The great Dave Chappelle just did another classic stand up, where he made sure to make his perspective clear to a certain group of people but they still chose to paint his work of art as hate speech. #Meud
