Reviews by Pancho @ "Black Genius: African American Solutions to African Americans Problems" By Walter Mosley

Black Genius: African American Solutions to African Americans Problems 🧠☻🧠

After reading the cover of this book, I assumed that the text would include a layout of problems that were vigilant in the black community.  I assumed to see ingenious solutions to ingenious problems created by people of their own community. However, what I saw and quickly noticed about the book was that it's a display of black genius' and the work they did to not only distinguish themselves from the world but black people as a whole.  Each chapter covers 2 things- 

1. A mini explanation of the black genius in question along with the work they've contributed to history.

2. A closer look into the Genius and problems they've faced when it came to equality on top of how they handled those problems.

The book displays a collection of over 10 black geniuses and their life stories; which is important to the theme in the text because if anything, the book serves as a guide on what black people should do if they ever want the playing field to be equal.  The term genius is referred to as "one who uses their intellectual ability to reach others and make an impact".  When I was done reading the book, I truly understood what it meant for a black person to be a genius.   I'd recommend that anyone who needs motivation to start something new (regardless of minority) should consider reading this book. The problem that was solved through this text was the motivational aspects of black people.  Due to racism and slavery, a lot of black people today are overtly dependent, racist to themselves and others, and have terrible health habits.  

Taking a glance into the life of a few genius' proves that black people are more than the stereotypical narrative that the world has painted on black people for 400 years.  This one gets a 9/10 from me.  Thank you.

CannaComps Reviews: Badd News

  BADD NEWS CANNABIS " MIXING THE OLD WITH THE NEW " That's the motto for BaddNewsSeed. Hailing from Florida, this grower produces some of the freshest cannabis you'll see in the south.

Nike's Influence on the Conformation of Society

              There are many products of today that people tend to buy in order to “conform” themselves with the rest of society. Whether it’s the lower class, middle class, or upper class, there is always one product that strikes the mind of individuals. The product that I decided to focus this study on is NBA Nike brand shoes. Nike brand shoes can apply to all people but are most commonly found amongst the younger crowd of today. The other large competing brand, Air Jordan, resembles the exact same level of demand as Nike. There are multiple reasons why Nike appeals to the younger generation of today. The company is known highly for its inner connection with super sport athletes everywhere. Almost every commercial that Nike airs on television includes a well-known athlete wearing the clothing or shoes. From Basketball and Football to Soccer and Baseball, Nike always finds a way to make a name for themselves in every sport. This wou...

Nike Personified

Th ere are brands advertised to people every day, with more being thought up of every minute. With each brand advertised, there are multiple people who become attached to a certain brand, thus forming a sense of brand loyalty. I’ve come across a lot of brands in my life , tending to direct my loyalty towards a select few. However, there is a dominant brand that I have come to really affiliate myself with, “Nike” . According to the website of Nike, “Nike, Inc. is an American multinational corporation that is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing and sales of footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services”. With that being said, I feel like if this brand were to ever “ come to life ” , it would be more than just a single person. If the brand “Nike” ever came to life as a person, it would be in the form s of a man, a woman, a boy , and a girl, creating a Ni ke family. I feel that this is the appropriate incarnation to giv e the bra...
