Dear Black Men

Dear Black Men,

They say we will never be an important part of society, constantly degrading us and our value. I understand that they fear us and our greatness but you can’t stop us. As long as we stick together and try to do better than we will be better. They are afraid of our uniqueness and the change that we can bring to society. We are all not perfect but without the flaws we have that would never make us different.

 I am constantly afraid of the world we live in because of how we are depicted. Dead beat dads, violent hoodlums, uneducated niggas, heartless nobodies and jobless losers is what they consider us. They are stuck in the same mindset from the 1950s and not really getting to know us. We are all different and contribute to society.

My name is Kevin Pierre, I am Haitian American. I have a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering Technologies and a Masters in Information Systems. I have a career and I am a co-founder of a non-profit, which focuses on community service and helping to build our youth. My parents have been together for almost 30 years and I have 2 siblings.  I am not a statistic, my household is not a statistic and we would not want to be considered one.

To my black men, I wake up every day thankful for another day of life. The way that society and media portrays us always hurts me inside. I always feel I have to tell people around me how much I appreciate/love them in my life because I may be the next one that shows up in a news story. We could say, that might not happen to us but it has happened to everyday regular people.

To my black men, keep your head up and keep pushing to be better. Society can’t hold us back forever. They can discourage us, talk about us and hurt us but they can’t bring down who we are. The moment we let them is the moment we accept what society has labeled us. I refuse to be a label, I refuse to be defined by society and I refuse to be anyone else besides myself.

To my black men we are different, unique, versatile, powerful and ambitious. Don’t let anyone destroy your drive because of your skin color. Kill them with kindness, make them fear you and show them what you are truly made of. 

Respectfully,

Kevin Pierre

King Bey & The BeyHIVE

 

All Hail to King Bey and the BeyHIVE. I don’t think people understand the loyalty and the power that Beyonce and her fans have. The BeyHIVE can clearly end the hopes, dreams and careers of the people that try to attack King Bey. I don’t know why people haven’t realized you can’t just talk shit about Beyonce and hope that everything will be okay. NO NO NO, your life is no longer safe the BeyHIVE will sting you hard. 

Okay lets stat some of the facts before we begin. Beyonce is/was (however you want to call it) part of Destiny Child, one of the greatest female trios of all time. You will always hear a Destiny Child song somewhere with Beyonce leading the vocals. Next, she has won over 40+ awards including Grammys, AMA, Billboard awards, World Music awards and even an Emmy for her Super Bowl Performance. Her net worth is estimated to be at $450+ million and growing. She has multiple ventures including endorsements, fashion lines and philanthropy that she is involved in globally.

Now let’s get into this topic, just wanted those who are not aware of her success to know why she has such loyal fans. She makes music that people can relate to and is very influential. She is an influential human being, not woman, but human being. If you can’t enjoy the way she lives her life and the music she plays for the people, please go walk into the nearest wall. As a guy I have my moments when a Beyonce joint comes on and I’m like “this shit pops right here.” SIDE NOTE: Guy code thing to do though if you’re in a car with a bunch of other guys change the song ASAP. I think one of my favorite Beyonce songs so far is 7/11, only because this sounds like the best sex song in life. Think about the words before you debate me on this.

Shoulders sideways, smack it, smack it in the air – Translation (while she turned staring at you smack that ass in the air)

Legs movin’ side to side, smack it in the air – Translation (open her legs while you smack that ass some more in the air)

Legs movin side to side, smack you in the air – Translation (them legs not open enough smack that ass some more in the air)

This is only the first 3 lines of the intro I could continue but back to the topic. Another song I really like from her is off her Dangerously in Love album was a song she did with Luthor Vandross called “The Closer I Get to You.” It’s like she was meant to sing this song with him. I am just saying you can be male and female and love the mess out of her songs. When you feel someone talking about her you will attack them just because you feel that’s your family. Like, “Don’t talk about King Bey for I hurt you.” No matter who your favorite artists are Beyonce is probably the only one you will fight the hardest to defend.

1^st person we will discuss is Draya Michele from Basketball wives. She said the below comment about King Bey, then ended up deleting her twitter for a while. I would understand if you’re a regular person talking shit but if you are famous and have a bunch of followers why would you even say anything? 

2^nd person most recent Kid Rock questioning King Bey’s greatness. Like why you mad though? You’ve been out longer and your much older, so your mad? I get it bro, you will be all right. 

To quickly name a few,

Raven Symone – Deleted her IG, didn’t check to see if she had a new one.

Keyshia Cole – Talking about Beyonce’s song “Bow Down”

Keri Hilson – Also taking shots at Beyonce’s song “Bow Down”

Karrueche Tran – For talking about Blue Ivy’s hair

Bill O”Reilly – Talking about Beyonce’s “Partition” video

I feel like if you are going to come for King Bey make sure your team is somewhat loyal to you because King Bey will let the BeyHIVE do the work. They are known to end careers and destroy homes. I would have to say Beyonce has the most loyal fans that any person can have. That’s the only way to get through in the industry that she is in. Is to be loyal to your fans and have them be loyal to you. Shout out to the loyal members of the BeyHIVE.
