A big fist and SOOOUUUULLLL go out to my boy Don Cornelius, creator of the long running hit show “Soul Train”, for making this a “Stuff Black People Love” favorite. Not only has this long standing tradition reached the 70’s funk wild children (our parents), but this phenomenon has reached even today’s hip hopping, R&B’ing […]

Since our early days, as Nubians, here on planet earth, Black (of African Origin) people have been finding new ways to raise their fists in revolt. There is nothing we love more than joining elbows and belting out “We Shall Overcome”. Though most times we have raised the revolution for good cause, there are […]
