Reflections: Clothing used to be sacred


@flex82boogie it doesn't cost more to dress more dignified. Its cheaper. All we are today is walking billboards. Clothing used to be sacred. via Twitter for BlackBerry®
@flex82boogie and then look at the people who go on marches and strikes today. Who's going to take them seriously. via Twitter for BlackBerry®

Reflections: Black Mentality?




I've been meaning to share this photo with you all for some time now. I took this photo a few months back but it got lost somewhere in the jungle that is my hard drive. I recovered it this morning. Look at the tee shirt of the young brother on the photo, what is printed on it. Black Mentality. And what is this Black Mentality? The subject of our brothers tee shirt print eloquently clarifies it for all. Just have a look yourself- worth a 1000 words. It is worth noting also that the photo was taken in Sunnyside, Pretoria, the student residential hub of the city of Pretoria. Has the time not come to rewrite the image of the young black man? Has the time not come to reclaim and salvage our good standing among the nations? Then when, if ever, if not now?
