One Word: Swag
For the kid who can’t understand why such a great country would ever quantify a person as being 3/5 of a whole person, this post is for you. The revolution never stops. While it may move gradually slow, it is always constant. Our civil rights bills were, in fact, not just solely for blacks, but majority for the enjoyment of the whites. Freedom is a God-Given right. Sure, voting is a privilege, but man can not base that privilege due to someone’s skin color. Man can’t separate and try to equal facilities. It wasn’t for us. It was for the face/mask of the others. Remember black is beautiful. You are beautiful. You are free.
Today’s #SuperNegro post is none other than the man who mastered the corner in his uniform, Deion Sanders. Sideline, meet swag. Swag meet end zone. End zone meet Sanders. Touchdown. #Swag #Woo
“How can there be an American dream, when there is no unity in America. The United States is the paragon of an oxymoron.”
- Donald Vincent, me.
One of the first black comics to perform for a white audience.
Used fame on show Sanford and Son to acquire jobs for his friends.
Movie and television star.
One word: Hilarious
For the kid who was never told you can’t and won’t be able to attain your dreams, this post is for you. The American Dream does not exist because the definition of America doesn’t exist. Moreover, the definition of the United States doesn’t exist. What does it mean to be American? To be obese? To have first world problems? To, in the words of comedian Jimmy Tingle, get upset when the price of a postage stamp goes up 2 cents? Wake up! The American Dream is used to supress the desires while at the same time exacerbating those desires. Be proud of who you are. Make sure you define yourself, that way no one can tell you your dreams can’t come true.
Today’s #SuperNegro post is for the late and great, Redd Foxx.

This is a huge step for Weezy.
And an even huger step for Hip-Hop music.
“There can be no black-white unity until there is first some black unity…. We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves. We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.”
- Malcolm X
(S/O to Richard Pryor haha – He used to holler at one of my friend’s grandmother)
Emmy and Grammy Award Winner
Listed as number 1 comedian of all-time
Race & Social Critic
Signed a 5 year deal for $40,000,000.
One Word: Funny (as fuck)
For the kid who was taught you’re born alone and you die alone, this post is for you. There will never be any world unity until we as separate cultures can learn to appreciate the similar qualities that we possess as not only human beings, but people from a higher being. We can not love another until we learn to love ourselves first. And remember, the person in the mirror is always the most beautiful person in the world. The way to learn to love yourself is through education and understanding. As the descendants of queens and kings, we are beautiful. We need more revolutionaries and more resolution. They had to cancel Pryor’s show because it wasn’t accepted then, but still his jokes still live on!
Richard Pryor is the #SuperNegro of the Day. With great comedic laughs, the line between comedy and tragedy are painted so thin. #Enjoy

(Basquiat looks a little like Kid Cudi #onthelow)
12/22/60 – 8/12/88
One of the premier black fine art artist
Worked alongside the great Andy Warhol.
From Brooklyn, New York
$3.3 million dollar paid for a piece of his original work.
Left over 1000 paintings & drawings after dying from a heroin overdose.
For the kid who feels like they need to do evil in order to be good, then this post is for you. Two wrongs never make a right, so when you’re put in an inferior position, remember that you have the ability to rise above hate with kindness. Basquiat struggled with his artistic integrity and life because it was hard to be accepted into a world of high art due to his skin color. Racial prejudices still did not stop his work from being accepted. Remember, they can lock your body, but never lock your soul, culture, identity, and love for what you do. Check out a few of Basquiat’s paintings below.
Enjoy this #SuperNegro post of the day. See you next week
“The equilibrium you admire in me is an unstable one, difficult to maintain. My inner life was split early between the call of the Ancestors and the call of Europe, between the exigencies of black-African culture and those of modern life.”

For all the kids who’s greatness lie deep within because there was never someone to tell them be the best they could be, this post is for you. The condition of the black person is plagued by multiple identities. How he understands himself and how he is understood by the other. We find our history in the motherland Africa; however, we are stripped of that story by the Europeans. Remember, you are the offsprings of kings and queens. Never let anyone hold you back.
This installment of #SuperNegro is none other than: His another hit- Barry Bonds!!
Merely by describing yourself as black you have started on a road towards emancipation, you have committed yourself to fight against all forces that seek to use your blackness as a stamp that marks you out as a subservient being.

One Word: Peaceful
For all the kids with dreams of becoming successful and dreams of breaking away from the mold that is placed on you since birth, this post is for you. Identifying with being black, you take up a weight on your shoulder. You bare the cross of hate and inferiority. As a person, you must know at all times that black is beautiful and fight for the respect that you deserve from a world that doesn’t want you to succeed. Be the best you can be.
This installment off #SuperNegro is for the Mr. Get Up – Stand Up: Bob Marley!!
