Despite that fact that as a people [[Africans in amerikkka'), we have always been amidst the pressure of the time, but up until the last decade or so, we never gave up on the meaning of what 'Black' was about....our music was Black, our style was Black, our clothes were Black and we had no shame or doubt at who we were and what we were about! We had an answer to what was offered by the whiter collective.


This Soul Train music video drives my point home.....Click on below

Brothas' and Sistas' were so Cool back then....as James would say, 'SWEET DYNAMITE SOUL'!

As much as I hate to romanticize about the past in terms of the Black experience in amerikkka', I understand even then, times were just as precarious in terms of who we are, as they are currently to a certain extent...but the point is, when you see stuff like the above video and how we rivaled against the collective, you can't help to LOVE our people!

WHAT HAPPENED!
