Black Jesus is searched for online thousands of times per day. Is Jesus Black if you apply the 1% drop of Black blood rule? Why does Jesus continue to be portrayed as white, blond and blue eyed, when there is scientific, biblical and geographic proof that he was a man, Bible - Revelation 1:14 says, the color of brass with woolly hair? Why do so many people refuse to acknowledge this truth?

As Black parents we have always told our children that they can be anything they want to be if they get a good education and work hard. But Black people have always known that despite these encouraging words, there were always some career choices we know were out of reach if it came down to a vote that included some whites. But with the election of Barack Obama this belief has changed when it comes to the US Presidency. Take a look at how poor self esteem and racism effects many Black children from an early age.
Some White Children Are Negatively Effected By Racism Based On The Racial Sterotypes Passed On By Their Parents And The Media.
There has been no responsibility more important in my life than fatherhood. Like Obama, I grew up without a father when mine died when I was 7 because he let alcohol control his life. I, like Obama, made a decision as a child that I was going to be the father I did not have. When I sit with my college age kids now, its not the things that I bought them that they remember, it is the time spent and words shared in good and challenging times for them. I learned early, its not only what I say as a father, its also what I do.
Obama tells men what kind of dads they should be By CALVIN WOODWARD –
WASHINGTON (AP) — Barack Obama got a basketball, his first name and ambition from his father. Little else. The son gave back more than he received: a lifetime of ruminations about the man who abandoned the family, a memoir named "Dreams from My Father," and endless reflections on his own successes and shortcomings as a parent of Sasha, 8, and Malia, 10. As a candidate and now president, he's been telling men what sort of father they should be. It's become his Father's Day ritual. He's asking American men to be better fathers than his own.
The president showcased fatherhood in a series of events and a magazine article in advance of Father's Day this Sunday. He said he came to understand the importance of fatherhood from its absence in his childhood homes — just as an estimated 24 million Americans today are growing up without a dad. Fathers run deep in the political culture as they do everywhere else, for better and worse.
Michelle Obama has said many times how her late dad, Fraser, is her reference point and rock — she checks in with him, in her mind, routinely, and at important moments. Obama's presidential rival, John McCain, called his own memoirs "Faith of My Fathers," tracing generations of high-achieving scamps.
The father-son presidencies of the George Bushes were bookends on Bill Clinton, whose father drowned in a ditch before the future president was born and whose stepfather was an abusive alcoholic nicknamed Dude. A Kenyan goatherder-turned-intellectual who clawed his way to scholarships and Harvard, Barack Hussein Obama Sr. left a family behind to get his schooling in the United States.
He started another family here, then left his second wife and 2-year-old Barack Jr. to return to Africa with another woman. His promise flamed out in Africa after stints working for an oil company and the government; he fell into drink and died in a car crash when his son was 21, a student at Columbia University. "I don't want to be the kind of father I had," the president is quoted as telling a friend in a new book about him. His half-sister, Maya, called his memoirs "part of the process of excavating his father." Obama now cajoles men to be better fathers — not the kind who must be unearthed in the soul.
His finger-wagging is most pointed when addressing other black men, reflecting years of worry about the fabric of black families and single mothers, but it applies to everyone. Father's Day 2007: "Let's admit to ourselves that there are a lot of men out there that need to stop acting like boys; who need to realize that responsibility does not end at conception; who need to know that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child but the courage to raise a child." Father's Day 2008: "Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father.
It's the courage to raise a child that makes you a father." Father's Day 2009: "We need to step out of our own heads and tune in. We need to turn off the television and start talking with our kids, and listening to them, and understanding what's going on in their lives." He doesn't hold himself out as the ideal dad. No driven politician can. "I know I have been an imperfect father," he writes in Sunday's Parade magazine. "I know I have made mistakes.
I have lost count of all the times, over the years, when the demands of work have taken me from the duties of fatherhood." He volunteered for those demands, as all people do when they want power. His years as a community organizer, Illinois lawmaker, U.S. senator and presidential candidate often kept him apart from family. At the same time, he went to great lengths in the 2008 campaign to find time with his girls and wife, and now considers the routine family time one of the joys of living and working in the White House.
The new book "Renegade" by Richard Wolffe recounts strains in the marriage early this decade, arising from his absences and from what Michelle Obama apparently considered his selfish careerism at the time. The author interviewed the Obamas, friends and associates. Obama himself attributed his "fierce ambitions" to his dad while crediting his mother — a loving but frequently absent figure — with giving him the means to pursue them.
"Someone once said that every man is trying to either live up to his father's expectations or make up for his father's mistakes," he once wrote, "and I suppose that may explain my particular malady as well as anything else." By malady, he meant the will to achieve. Obama was a schoolboy in Hawaii when his father came back to visit. He gave his dad a tie. His father gave him a basketball and African figurines and came to his class to speak about Kenya.
When I grew up in Harlem in the 1960’s and 70’s despite the drug addicts and dealers who were periodically caught up in their own disputes that some times resulted in homicides, Black people for the most part were optimistic about the future. As children, we were told, even by the small number of heroin addicts and number runners to stay in school and do our best. Warned that we did not want to grow up like them. I grew up among positive images of successful Black people that I saw everyday in Harlem.
There use to be a code of ethics even among criminals to protect women and children. Plus as a child, you knew that someone was likely to tell your parents if you were seen doing anything wrong. Despite our challenges as a community, back then we saw strong Black families who demanded obedience and excellence from our children. Back then the innocent were seldom the victims of random violence, but that has changed today.
Today life in most inner city Black communities has changed drastically. Its hard to point the finger of blame at anyone. Our children are killing one another at an alarming rate and we adults are asking “Why?” We must hold the mirror up to ourselves and be honest that we have failed to provide them with the hands on guidence they so desperately need along with a strong sense of their history.
Have our children come to believe the distorted hateful and violent pictures of themselves that are so often seen in the media to the point that we are raising a generation of teens that hate one another and know nothing about the rich history of Black people? Children who are contantly listening to the violent and hateful words that are belted on many rap songs performed by young, illiterate, tattooed men wearing underwear showing baggy pants . These negative images repeatedly show Black teens being synonymous with crime, violence, promiscuity and social dysfunction.
Although minorities make up over 50% Of the TV audience, as you look at the major networks you are hard pressed to see programs featuring Blacks and Hispanics in a positive light living normal lives. Positive and negative images are powerful. They effect how we see ourselves and how others see us. Bill Cosby repeatedly says “Our Children Are Trying To Tell Us Something." This young man recently sheds some light on a part of what that message is.

Despite the negative statistics, there are many Black men who are doing what needs to be done to take care of their families. For those who are succeeding against the odds, Happy Father's Day. Listen to the real words of wisdom and struggle for many Black fathers below.

Saying he lost count of all the times when work demands have taken him away from his children, President Obama says that his administration would move to raise awareness about "responsible fatherhood" and push to re-engage absent fathers with their families.
How do you feel about your father? Are you a responsible father?
While the greater media seems to be surprised by the positive reaction Of young Black girls and mature Black women to the Sesame Street YouTube clip, I Love My Hair, most are missing the real issue. Young Black girls are desperate for positive images about themselves that reaffirms their natural beauty. Young Black girls are bombarded with media images in magazines at the grocery checkout counter, bill boards and television commercials that glorify straight blond hair in combination with milky white skin.
Even mature Black women are taken with the Sesame Street video that reminds them of the struggles they had had growing up in a world that overtly says that there is something wrong with having curly hair and dark skin. Its vitally important that we tell our children daily just how beautiful they really are with curly hair and a beautiful brown complexion, so they can grow up secure and confident in who they really are. Just maybe this change in attitude will help Black women redirect some of the over $10 billion they spend annually on their daughters and themselves trying to straighten, color or altering their natural beauty.
As we look at the issues that effect all Americans, but especially Black Americans, we need more strong Black fathers who are willing to be there in good times and bad. Listen carefully to President Obama's universal message as we celebrate father's day.What do you think? Tell us about your father or the one you wish you had.

This video was created to inspire young at-risk African-Americans not to fall prey to some of the problems they face in society. The "Master of Darkness" represents that abstract concept of evil that has the potential to reside in the consciousness of mankind.
The use of the images of Richard Pryor and NAS, were used to show how we have publicly displayed the "N" word over the course of time. Richard Pryor, before his death, had gone on record to publicly denounce his use of the word, and the Rapper NAS ( one of the few socially conscious rappers ) intentions of wearing the jacket had nothing to do with the glorification of the word. I have enjoyed some of Pryor's masterful story telling and I have also enjoyed some of the thought provoking music from NAS.
This video should not to be used to divide people (Black & White). This video should not be used to criticize all aspects of hip-hop culture. This video should not be used to allow the rest of society to escape from their responsibility, to help with financial & academic support.
If used properly, this video will allow our youth to see some of the horrific conditions that their ancestors fought through and some of the horrific conditions they face today.
