As Real As It Get
Good Evening,
I hope all have been well since the last time a message was released. This message is for my fellas even though I see some women saying this phrase or word, its most commonly used by young men of this generation. That phrase is “He’s Real”, or just “I’m Real”. There are other ways this phrase is used but we aren’t going to get into all of that you catch the drift by now. There’s nothing wrong with being real and being real with you, but the problem lies in what we call real. See many of us take a guy who may say a few cuss words in a song, illegal activity, running a few women and other personal extracurricular activity so we tag that as “Real”. We tend to hear a slick word play in a song or two and now all of a sudden because we think an individual has said something profound they become “Real” in our eyes. Sorry I hate to be the bearer of bad news to some of you, but you have been brainwashed again. The word real is defined as this; Real- actually existing as a thing or occurring in fact (adjectives associated with the word real are; genuine, actual). Now that we have that out the way and are on the same page about the meaning of the word real, then please tell me why so many of us tend to call certain things real. Fellas are you telling me that we have become that naïve that we can allow an illusion of a man to become what we look up to and strive to be. We have kids out here who have lost all hope with no positive male figures and no sense of direction. Most of them are doing everything but the right thing and aren’t progressing in life as they should because they want to fit the “Real” mold. We have sisters, daughters, nieces, and cousins that lack the father figures they need and didn’t receive the basic knowledge a man should give a girl to help here prepare for dating men and this world we live in. Then we have the audacity to look in the mirror and be proud at the fact we call ourselves “Real” when our world is slowly self destructing because we refuse to stand up and be men. Come on fellows I’m sorry I’m not that naive to even allow myself to be fooled into believing nonsense like that and you shouldn’t be either. It’s crazy the way our men think and it’s to the point that a jail record or getting shot is applauded, but did you stop to think that a jail record makes building a life for yourself and family difficult. The fact that a bullet hit someone wows you but did you stop and think if it hits the right spot there is no tomorrow. This act of violence just changed a life, a family, and could cause other acts of violence out of retaliation in the community. I’m telling you fellows you better open your eyes and stop being pigeons sitting there waiting and learn to be eagles and soar high and take care of your own. It’s time out for the playing and being men in the body while maintaining a boy’s mindset. All this power we possess to rise up and be men of purpose so that we change the future and impact today.
