DO DA DIPPITY…

Written on December 23, 2011 by in Interpersonal Relations

THIS is why we need to stop being afraid of addressing folks when they say dumb/offensive/inconsiderate stuff. But we have to a) meet people where they are & b) come from a place of love. Even if love starts out as, “what the fuck, man?” (Gotta love that about hip hop… FYI: Black Sheep is a legendary hip hop group. You will likely recognize their song, “The Choice is Yours” from that car commercial with the little rodents in it.)

    LOVE convos like this! We need more so badly.  This reminds me of my days of “coming out” as an ally.  Thanks for taking the time to have a conversation with this brother.  One can only hope that like-minded tweeps observed and learned as well.
