Extravagantly dressed fans as they pose outside of Madison Square Garden prior to a boxing match between Muhammad Ali & Oscar Bonavena, New York New York, December 7, 1970.

I am begging for these suits to come back in style.

I was watching a documentary on that fight and they said that walk up into Madison Square Garden would've rivaled any high fashion runway of the day...

"The hats, the full length fur coats, the lapels, the knee high boots, the jewelry....AND THOSE WERE THE MEN!"- The Fight

*two cents*

Man...I'm around kids all day. I WISH they would take as much pride in their appearance as these men did. Even for a day. An event.


I was born in the wrong decade.

Milk was distributed for the babies following the Chicago race riots of 1919.

I wonder what they added to that milk.

Actress and writer Fredi Washington, wearing an anti-lynching arm band with the chilling emblem of a silhouetted head in a noose in 1934.

Friends like Bobby Short and her sister’s husband, Congressman Adam Clayton Powell said that she never hid behind the lightness of her complexion. Washington’s commitment to civil rights was just as strong as her professionalism in the theater and cinema arts.

"A professional and private concern was the issue of passing. Her skin was very light-skinned so much so that often times she had to do blackface to appear in the movies she was in. Passing, for those who don't know, is when someone of a "different" race exploits the features of the "dominant" race that they have in order to get by and succeed in a racist society, such as ours. Fredi Washington refused to do so. In fact, many Hollywood studios practically begged her to pass, and that, with passing she could be a bigger star than Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, and Constance Bennett. Fredi strongly refused. "

Meanwhile we have fucking coon bitch ass niggas on this site advocating to not vote.

When you vote you have only two choices Lucifer or Satan and you catch hell either way you go. No man in his right mind will participate in a game about who is to control him or his life. I will admit it seems it is the only game we have to play right now is Satan game.
When we left the breast for made man baby mild our faith was almost sealed as a people of ever having a chance of being ourselves. Either it is by design or maybe something else that they are trying to poison every thing that goes into our system.
It is about self control and being master of self. There is no way a devil can create a God. Only a devil can create a devil and only a God can create a God. The system is about creating devils. Until some black messiah comes along and finally beats the system and over come it. other than that you can only be a carbon copy of whites (devils) and become a successful devil. The brother locked down on death row is no different than the successful ones of us that actually think they are free and not political prisoners of a white empire.
It may sound strange but I know what I am talking about. There is no way you can be successful in a wicked world unless you change that world first. We have been enslaved to white ideas, white values, and a white reality for far to long.
Where there are no visions the people perish. But if your pimp put the visions in your mind they are visions for his empire and not your real growth.
