Shout Out To Black Men In America

I wanna give a shout out to black men in America. The struggle of just being who you are. Living in this country that's not set up for you to succeed. Having to walk down these streets not knowing how your day will end up. Not knowing if you will be alive or hoping that you don't get locked up when you get pulled over. Being brainwashed to think that the life that your living is ok. Sagging your pants, calling each other nigga, disrespecting females by calling them bitches etc. Some of you don't know or want to know your history. You should, maybe you will change. My heart really goes out to you. When you look at people you have to take a psychological approach so you can understand why people are the way they are. Just because I understand it doesn't mean it is acceptable.

Change the way that you think and then you can make changes in the world.
Females we need to support our men. We need to respect ourselves. We need to encourage them to do the right thing. When we see them doing something wrong we need put them in their place. We need to love them because no one else will...No one really understands their struggle, but we do. We need to be there to let them know everything will be ok. We need to treat them like a king and then in return they will treat us like queens.
We have to break this cycle!!! Love concurs all. If we spread real love and respect life would be so much better.

Queen Philippa: England's First Black Queen

England's First Black Queen, Mother of the Black Prince Philippa was the daughter of William of Hainault, a lord in part of what is now Belgium. When she was nine the King of England, Edward II, decided that he would marry his son, the future Edward III, to her, and sent one of his bishops, a Bishop Stapeldon, to look at her. He described her thus: "The lady whom we saw has not uncomely hair, betwixt blue-black and brown. Her head is cleaned shaped; her forehead high and broad, and standing somewhat forward. Her face narrows between the eyes, and the lower part of her face is still more narrow and slender than the forehead. Her eyes are blackish brown and deep. Her nose is fairly smooth and even, save that is somewhat broad at the tip and flattened, yet it is no snub nose. Her nostrils are also broad, her mouth fairly wide. Her lips somewhat full and especially the lower lip…a

Elizabeth Key Grinstead (b. 1630 - d. c. after 1665)

Elizabeth Grimstead was one of the first women of African ancestry in the North American colonies to sue for her freedom from slavery and win. Elizabeth Key won her freedom and that of her infant son John Grinstead on July 21, 1656 in the colony of Virginia. She sued based on the fact that her father was an Englishman and that she was a baptized Christian . Based on these two factors, her English attorney and common-law husband William Grinstead argued successfully that she should be freed. The lawsuit in 1655 was one of the earliest " freedom suits " by a person of African ancestry in the English colonies. In response to Key's suit and other challenges, in 1662 the Virginia House of Burgesses passed a law that the status of children born in the colony would follow the status of the mother, "bond or free", rather than the father, as had been the precedent in English common law and was the case in England. This was the principle of partus seq
