Misconception of "Swag" and how black men need to get it right.

Black men of this generation face all kinds of problems from high incarceration rates to high unemployment rates and while some of these problems are caused by the plans and systems that the "Man" has put in place to put us down; majority are of course by our own doing.  One of the issues that we created and we must fix asap is this new phenomenon called Swag.  Swag I guess is a man's persona, style or just the way he carries himself and presents himself to the world and also what make him cool.

I had to blog about this because i was having dinner with a young black woman who I had so much respect for until she told me that the one guy she had a crush on was Lil Wayne because he is the black dude with the most "Swag". I asked her what she meant by Lil Wayne having swag and she started rambling on and on about the way he dresses and what he says to women in his songs.  This dumb broad even went to say that she would sleep with Lil Wayne just because of the things he says?  Wow, the same dude that said "I wish I could fuck every girl in the world" and has like 5 baby mamas  and can't stay of drugs or out of prison.

Now to me Obama is a guy that has swag because for one he ain't never been to jail and has a nice job, dresses appropriately (no sagging here).

So dear brothers, instead of you sitting around and whining about the problems the society has poured on you, please know that how you present yourself to the world matters a lot and could be the key to you breaking that unemployment jinx or meeting people who can help get you to good places in life.

Some stupid hoes might have you believing that looking like wayne or Soulja boy is swag and may even give you some pum-pum for that but you have to choose between being a successful man in life or getting regular hood rat pum-pum.
