Men, We have an entire generation that has been brought up being told they are less than, that their lives do not matter as much as others.
Constantly everywhere I look and a bit much today I have noticed these young men, and men of all ages really, with their heads down. Feeling bad about something that is being done to them. Being told they are evil, wrong, ugly, and all measure of horrible falsehoods.
The next time you see a brother with his head down, lift him up. The next time your head dips down, find your brothers, join up, get away from the noise and lies filling your head by the internet. You are valuable, you are worthy, you are awesome.
You see a brother and you admire something about him, be it dress, car, the way he talks or carries himself drop those compliments like they are hot. Raze your brother up.
Day in and day out I see posts on here talking about extremists, crying wolf, telling whatever bullshit they can think of, or have been conditioned like a dog to say. I hear and see it every day and I am just as sick of it as you my brothers but the best offence we really have is unity.
I do not give a dam about that brothers skin color, status, ethnic background, sexual orientation, whatever stupid infantile thing they are trying to use today to divide you from those who are your brother, who will and can raze you up, and you to them in kind.
Raze your brother up and we will rise as a brotherhood.
We do not need to cut down anyone to rise ourselves, only the weak do this.
Crying, venting, being angry, being hurt these things do not make you weak. "man up" isn't a phrase that matters when you are hurting, if you are hurting reach out to your brothers and find the help and love that you deserve and are worthy of because you dear brother, are valuable. We need you.
Weakness is cowardice. The type of coward who will tell you that you're anything but valuable. A coward who will demand you treat them as an equal only if you are at heel. That is not equality, that is weakness brought on by fear.
Fear, is ok to feel. It is ok if you are afraid, it is ok if you are scared, or upset, or anything like that.. fear is not weakness. It is part of humanity. If you are afraid, reach out to your brothers and find bravery among those who need you and care about you.
Your brothers care about you, you will rise, we will rise. We will do it the right way, we don't need violence, we don't need to threaten, we don't need to hide like cowards while attacking from behind deception and manipulation until no other voice of decent is heard.
What we need, is each other. We need you brother. No matter the state you feel you are in, you are needed, you are loved.
