Um black ..
 
Well, when you have individuals like Tariq and Boyce Watkins that are making documentaries about black history while encouraging folks not to vote, then it makes you question on how mentorship is delivered now of days.

We are in the internet age and old school mentorship is a thing of the past. Young kats are attractive to Internet personalities, videos, and memes.

I’m not saying folks are wrong in how they mentor these young brothers, but in the end we want brothers to be the best they can be as individuals and men. Sometimes it comes at a cost of having political difference that may not necessarily benefit black folks as a whole.

And what Boyce and Tariq are doing is not mentoring. They are just talking and trying to sell books.

True mentoring that I am referring to is actually going into these schools and neighborhoods and giving back. Teaching our youth about how to be financial literate, how to improve your public speaking skills, teaching them science/technology, teaching about their history that goes beyond knowing about Malcom and Martin, and I could go on and on.....

Again, that's real mentoring and I will say I have seen kids who are living in WARD 8 in SE DC with some of the worst up bringing imaginable do a 360 when they see someone who looks like them Care and provide guidance.
 
Man I enjoyed the speech but I hope he isnt too focused on working with repigs
in my opinion that was the only mistake obama made...especially when he had the supermajority
it took him years to learn those mofos are obstructionists unwilling to help americans
learn from that joe...dont waste your time

You know how they say 'bacon makes everything better'?

Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny to me in a long time.

But Trump's loss will probably make everything they do tonight fucking HILARIOUS!
They should just let Dave Chappelle and everyone else improvise the whole episode tonight :lol:

I agree with your perspective of what “true mentoring” is. I’m not going to try and argue semantics of mentorship.

I’m merely pointing out what I am observing. Those type of guys have influences and platforms, which young minds consider them mentors. We can say they ain’t mentors, but some influential mind can say they are and it become less about what we think.
