Re: Professor's Influence.
Hotep Brothers. Bro. Professor be ever so mindful of what you believe, because you just may have a story as potent as my so posted one. Often times the influence we as BLACKMEN be us fathers, community figures, students, brothers, uncles, teachers, coaches, spiritual advisors, BLACK FRATERNAL ORDER MEMBERS more especially ALPHAS and PRINCE HALL MASONS (sorry, but I am ever so partial to the Prince Hall Masonic Family) is often overshadowed by negative portrayals of BLACK MEN. By virtue of being a BLACK MAN who is forever striving to remain spiritual, upright, virtuous, humble, righteous, respecting and protecting of BLACK WOMANHOOD, advocating BLACK MANHOOD a BLACK ADULT who happens to be a BLACK MAN/ALPHAMAN such as yourself can truly project unknown influence. You probably have influenced a youth who you have befriended or interacted with as of late. This is but a lesson of why it is ever so important for us BLACKMEN to carry and conduct ourselves with Manhood, Scholarship, and Love for all Mankind being a theme. When that youngster witnesses a grown black man wearing his pants sagging down off his waist and showing the crack of his behind or underwear this is an IMAGE that is well of influence. When that youngster hears and reads repeatedly that the BLACK MAN has a propensity to engage in risky behavior, does not love BLACK WOMEN and is prone to be on the "Down-Low TIP" he will develop an outlook and opinion of BLACK MANHOOD. When that youngster witnesses vulgarity, disdain, and disrespect being forwarded by the BLACK MAN to the BLACK WOMAN he will believe that such is acceptable coping behavior. Bro. Professor I am certain, that the BLACK MAN will continue to enhance and influence society more especially BLACK YOUTH and am optimistic that ALPHADOM along with ALL BLACK FRATERNALISM and BLACKMEN of such will realize the importance of being the KEEPER OF THE TRIBE OF BLACKNESS. Ptah-Hotep.
