I Thought You Knew! Especially during Black History Month Being Black... Is Where It's At!

THE MOVIE IS EMOSEWA!! BEING BLACK IS WHERE IT'S AT! by Vernon J. Davis Jr. Being Black is where it's at Aren't You hip to that Being Black is being creative Being Black is what You do Being Black is everything! If Being Black is a part of You And isn't that, Being Black? You see, Blackness in experience is Blackness Divine Blackness of expression is Blackness Of your mind So total awareness is a rising Black Sign And isn't that, where it's at? So be proud of Being Black Because Black is where it's at Be proud of Being YOU Because You are Black Be proud of Being proud So as to lift up your mind And isn't that, Being Black? Being Black is where it's at Aren't You hip to that Being Black is Being Beautiful Being Black is Being Divine Being Black is Being Love Being Black is Being Fine And isn't that, where it's at? Realize this, that Black is here And Black is now The world is affected by Black Style Black is Life Black is Eternal Yet... realization is still for a while Because we are not Where we ought to be We are not Living within the realms of Reality Our Dreams are bigger than our means Of attainment However... We are Black And Being Black Is where it's at!!! �1978,1981 & 2005 Vernon J. Davis Jr. P.S. I thought you know that Being Black... Is where it's at! ;) ��

A rousing call to all who consider themselves black to think positive and act like it because black can be "in" as well. There certainly is a lot of hype about Black Panther, but I've been seeing a lot of really great black productions on television and in the movies already going back to when Sidney Poitier started breaking stereotypes.

Welcome to the den.
