.. now some stoopid idiots are calling the new dress code ANTI-BLACK!
SMDFH, lord please help mamy many of my people!

I went to mostly Catholic schools and thank God their standards were strict & high - sometimes too strict but gradually adjusted. And guess what? I demanded that same standard for my kids. They've turned out pretty good so far.

Howard Univ. "disenrolls students" cuz of money issues....reading is good

Thats an excellent change from Tuskeegee University, for real. I'm applauding this new imposed dress codes.

In fact thats how Black colleges and universities dress codes were in the 50s. Yes, respectable dress codes. Indeed, a respectable school dress code help maintain a safe and "focused" academic environment. There is nothing Anti-Black in this.

WHY IT TOOK SO LONG?

Tuskegee University - a historically Black University, is imposing dress codes for its students..
No more durags, no revealing skirts that show your butt cheeks & crotch, no pants hanging way below your butt, no more bedroom slippers,no bonnets, no bathroom robes to classs & cafeteria..
You must now dress conservatively to classes etc..
YASSSSSSSS

Great post, GM. Your post inspired our current front page dispatch, of the month.

big props to Tuskegee University.... great frontpage dispatch!

Great front page dispatch!
A much needed one!

BUT, there's a bit of tension between your words, the image of the Jacksons, and the lyrics.
Your words are absolutely on point!
But given the uplifting message in the lyrics and its positivity, how do we reconcile how Michael Jackson completely rejected his Africanness, his Blackness, and more or less the Black community?
Something is wrong in this equation and shows how utterly we've been brainwashed into accepting the Eurocentric view of things, and internalizing it.

Michael Jackson's wealth and estate is now mostly in his children's hands - the white kids he adopted. They basically control his inheritance along with a small percentage to his mom.
Not only that, now that his white kids are married to other white partners, Michael's overall estate now firmly belongs to the white community. Ouch!

The lesson here is: WE NEED TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO LOVE THEMSELVES IN A SERIOUS WAY - no more skylarking or we perish!
That should be the real meaning of "Let Me Show You The Way To Go."

Again, great frontpage dispatch - great summation!
Reminds me of the things Sistah Dolores C. Tucker used to remind & warn us about. RIP

Wow, I like that word, GM. Skylarking. It means “playing around, goofing off, or wasting time doing silly or non-productive activities,” a googled definition. Now, Michael Jackson had the good looks and wherewithal to play the role of a King Tut in film, for example. Yet we see people like him, Serena Williams, etc, have it within their grasp to break the ongoing matrix, but succumb to the status quo. It’s baffling to me how too many of us postulate the truth, but default to the status quo.

In the case of Venus & Serena Williams, it is shocking how they're going about mutilating their features for a more Eurocentric look, along with the skin-bleaching..
We must remember that their father, Richard Williams, was outspoken against the racism his daughters were facing during the professional tennis tour, yet, here we are with both of them totally embracing Eurocentrism both physically & psychologically. Quite sad!
