WTF IS BLACK? #KATTWILLIAMSVOICE (HxRxR)

TWOG FROM HTTP://TWITTER.COM/TRPHIPPS:

In 30 years the Black Culture/Experience will be relic and only referenced by Top 100 Radio, Blogsite Archives and blurbs in liberal textbooks #conservativesdontcareaboutblackpeople

With a faithless spiritual compass, un-recognizable cultural map, and un-learned racial history, the Black Identity will be un- and in-identifiable.

The Black Identity in America has been in a losing war since Integration, The Assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , the movie The Mack and the 1980s Crack Epidemic/Reganomics.

These four events together and overtime has wilted, eroded and eradicated the strong, spiritual, communal and persevering Black-Negro-Colored pride and identity, wrought on the whipped and sunburned backs of slaves kidnapped from Mother Africa.

While many aging Civil Rights Leaders, Elders and educated and inspired scholar fight everyday to not only restore it and re-forge it, the Black Identity is losing. With its biggest foe within its own camp, Fighting a war on two fronts, internal & external, has weakened it and led to the tea-ing and the creaming of the coffee.

Moreover, The emerging Global Economy has reared Classism. Suburban Black Kids find more equality in Suburban White Kids than Poorer Kids, especially ones who are Black #aintneverplayedHIDEngoGETIT

The creaming of the coffee seems to some as a realization of Kings Dream, but the de-Blacking our race had lead to our current delusion concurrent dilution and eventual disillusion

#REALTALK WHO ARE WE?!

In our pursuit of American happiness we have adopted the Anglo-Saxon value of individualism. Neglecting our tribal/communal instincts/culture as members of the African Diaspora.

Why did we let US become I. Unity's power hasn't diminished #greatestweaponever, but OUR lack of understanding US & sacrifice for US has relegated it to scholarship essay prompts and Black History Month fodder

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BARACK OBAMA does not evoke the same familiarity that Jesse Jackson does #rootothebruhs, but his lucky struggle to the top is detailed in every NBA/NFL athlete's bio and every platinum #nowadaysgold rappers album

Read PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES BARACK OBAMA'S book The Audacity of Hope and then listen to Hov's Reasonable Doubt, they parallel in so many ways. But instead of internalizing both these great stories and conceive "The Audacity of Doubt." Young Black People have bear the illegitimate "Reasonable Hope".

The Audacity of Hope to the streets is the Reality of Dope. Dime bags don't beget diamonds, but dying. Suicide, Homicide and Genocide, all at the same time. Same suspects same victims, the news is a deja vu of yesterday and tomorrow.

It's sad that I can call another Black Man "Brother" now a days & he reply "I'm sorry you have the wrong person". Yes I do sir, Brother not estranged, but strangers

It has even poisoned Africa, the Cradle of Humanity has become the grave of insanity. Most Africans know atleast 3 languages in an social effort to better understand each other. But in a world where only money talks, the canon is currency. And the Dollar Dictatorship has sunk many parts of our beautiful ancestry into a pit of blood, tears, and disease.

Our lack of Spiritual Backbone has turned us into invertebrates, wings of fear flying till we fall, because we are unable to step on the foundation of faith.

WE GO TO DO BETTER, BUT WHO THE FUCK IS WE?! #KATTWILLIAMSVOICE

#CasuSTYLE #Fresh2Debt


#CasuSyTle #FRESH2DEBT #CasuSyTle #FRESH2DEBT #CasuSyTle #FRESH2DEBT

Most dudes commit #CasuFOULS when it comes to dressing Casual.

Its not about dressing down doesn't mean lowering your fashion standards nor do you have to be a TRUE RELIGION HERESY DOUCHE


Its about simplicity, layers, contrasting patterns and most importantly SWAGGER!

I mean have you seen the shit @kanyewest rocks?!?!?!?



WATCH MADEA ROCK THIS IN HER/HIS NEXT MOVIE














So Follow these #BASICS and you will never HAVE to smash a #basic chick

JEANS: THE BOTTOMS ARE THE ROOT OF ALL FASHION!
**CHECK OUT THE PREVIOUS POST FOR #SHOEGAMEBASICS




BREECHES GET YOU THE BITCHES and Women notice the style, cut, wear and tear on your jeans. And as stated before you don't have to spend alot to get alot. #FRESH2DEBT
I generally rock LEVIS, EXPRESS whentheSALEison and my step mom always cops me some Old Navy/Gap Jeans which are also solid and reasonable brands.

***SLIM BOOT CUT JEANS OR DIE IF YOU A GROWN ASS MAN WITH BILLS. ONLY DOUCHES, CELEBRITIES AND CHILDREN ROCK DENIM WITH THEY ASS OUT


I think my grand pops was rocking 501s with his #fresh2debt PROCESS!

GREYS are a #must in any wardrobe, they provide you with the ability to coordinate with any color palate with a splash of style, and are always fashionable.
THERE IS A DIFF BETWEEN STYLE AND FASHION!


 BLUES are #basics and without a pair, you don't have a life!


TOPS: LAST THING ON, LAST THING OFF, THE FIRST THING PEOPLE SEE




BLACK V NECKS COORDINATE EASILY, STAY CLEAN AND KEEP YOU COOL, BY BOTH DEFINITIONS!!!






I am a JORDAN WHORE, but I always look for CREATIVE Jordan Tees to rock, not just popular ones.
Let a Witty Nike Tees brighten yours and the WORLDS DAY!




EXPRESS TOPS are my GO2s. There Military shirts are a great fit and are a touch of flare, and the TX8 western shirts have the snap buttons and modernize the ruggedness of the country. You will be doing the Cotton Eyed Joe to Kesha!


 ***WARNING CARDIGANS CAN BE FRUITY***
OHHHH BUT WAAAIIIIT! EXECUTION is the most important.
Cardigans are not supposed to fit like a BLOUSE nor a STARTER JACKET!
Cardigans are the GENTLEMAN'S JACKET!


I rock VESTS with EVERYTHING! Its a non negotiable, dress up dressing down and keeps the eyes on me.


ACCESSORIES:

 SKINNY TIES AND TIE BARS #ALL EVERYTHING
Every Modern Man should have skinny ties, you can rock them with the MK2 and the TX8, all the way up, half way up or barely knotted. They provide many flexible style choices depending on occasion, day, and personality, and if needed to run into a semi formal setting, you can fit in, stand out, and still be taken seriously.


TIE BARS are the new chain to me. Invest in some good metal ones though, the plastic ones, can chip and make you look cheaaaap! Vintage stores have alot of great quality old ones but avoid the ones that make your Tie look like Flavor Flavs Neck!

AND THAT MY TWIGGAS IS #CasuSTYLE

SHOE GAME BASICS #FRESHTODEBT

#FRESHTODEBT
#SHOEGAMEBASICS




These are #SHOEGAMEBASICS. You can't wear J's all of the time. Get out the DMP box sometimes and get these basic shoes in basic color wheels, to expand your style, swagger and the life of those JORDANS. If I am paying $150+ for some shoes, I'm going to at least get 10 years out of the shoe...until they Re Retro lol.









Classic Nikes are a great way to still have that fashionable look, at a cheaper price. The Royals are very innovative and with jeans give you a very modern and in style shoe, with nostalgic hints.
I am a big proponent of Mids because I wear different colored socks, no socks and don't use lotion on my legs alot. #dontjudge









The only lows I usually cop will be the Sweet Classic Low All Whites because Dude they are SWEEEET!!!
dude sweet 






Sperry's are a must, I mean I did go to Baylor, but Minorities please wear them WITH SOCKS. IDK WHY WHITE PEOPLE DON'T LIKE SOCKS?
OHYOUFANCYHUH






THE STEVE MADDEN FANTOMS ARE A GREAT CAUSAL SHOE FOR BUTTON UPS AND THEY DON'T EXPEND STYLE. GETS YOU INTO THOSE WACK CLUBS THAT ASK FOR NO TENNIS SHOES.








For that same look, the All Black Leather Chuck Lows are perfect. Plus they don't crease like dress shoes. 







Everyone will have the Air Max 95s/24-7s/20XXs so try the Nike Trainer SC High OGs in many different colorwheels for that retro athletic look at a cheaper price.
