During the TV show “Braxton Family Values,” an African gym owner, with a drill sergeant attitude, unsuccessfully attempted to get the sisters to submerge themselves in a tub-like pool of water that measured body fat. So, frustrated by their resistance because they did not want to get their hair wet, he had a White girl demonstrate, hair submerged and all, that it wasn’t so bad. And while “Buffy” demonstrated, Mr. African chastised the girls and told them their attitudes, particularly in regards to their paranoia about their hair getting wet, is why Black men go date White women.
Well, why did he say that?
Of course they came for him, claws and all, asking him what race was his wife? And after he told them she was White, the lips started smacking and the heads started bobbing – and of course not a one of them got into the pool.
Need I say more?
Hilarious!!!! I kinda figured, too, he had a White girlfriend.
My name is Walter Hilliard III. I have a B.S. degree in Public Administration and a Masters in Psychology (specialty in Media Psychology). I’m currently seeking publishers for a book focusing on Black Self-Destruction and two inspirational eBooks, having already published a multitude of articles in several different newspapers and magazines over the years. I’ve been a head basketball coach on the high school and college level, and taught success classes at a private college, created numerous community and college programs focusing on leadership, mentoring, college awareness (for inner-city kids), and employment and training. And I have worked as an employment and training manager, family therapist, behavior specialist, college retention specialist, juvenile detention center treatment supervisor, and a contractor, facilitating relationship and marriage education groups for couples.
The purpose of Universal Soul Power is to confront negative media messages about African Americans, proliferate positive messages about the Black community, and inspire all those who are part of the universe, but especially African Americans, through my inspirational writings.
The truth is that most African Americans haven’t lost their Spiritual Souls, yet (although some of us behave like we’ve lost our minds), but we have lost our “Soul” — that NewRhythmandBluesyContemporaryHipHopSoul that allows us to be compassionate, productive leaders who recognize what really matters in life and live our lives beyond fad terms like “Swag,” instead embracing more fulfilling concepts like being Calm, Cool, and Collected, and knowing what they are all about: being your “growing self,” dancing to your own Life Drum, in tune, on beat, unfazed by fear, and leaving the world a better place when they move on.
Now dat’s Real Soul, and dat’s whatum talkin’ ’bout!
