Dont limit yourself.

So today i was doing my daily blog check up checking out all the blogs and came across an entry on bossip.com where they interviewed a couple of African American celebrities asking them what "change" they want to see this year. i had to dwell on this because lately I've noticed that black teenagers these days are limiting themselves as though they have no future.graduation is coming up and some don't even plan on going to college. they set themselves up for failier. And feed off of what they see in the media and hear in rap songs. Its sounds stupid but is so true. I know one change i would like to see in the black community is to stop living up to the stereotype && a change in the statistics that "blacks" have the lowest education and lowest paying jobs. come on now the president is black we need to live up to the dream MLK had dreamed for us as African Americans. i swear i can go on && on about this subject but check out what the celebs had to say.

Source Bossip.com:
Neyo: I want us to stop playing to the stereotypes that people have about us. Stereotypes come from what people see. If you don’t show them, then they have no reason to assume that you’re that.

Gabrielle Union: I want education to be a number one priority. You can see how it pays off in our community with our president. I don’t want to say that he’s overeducated, but he pulled himself up by his bootstraps and he didn’t let his socioeconomic status hold him back. He’s just been an amazing inspiration for people who actually value education and look where it can get you. So, I’d love to see education become a top priority.

Monica: Obama’s gonna spice up politics all together. He’s just that reality check that you can do it. We all have children I have my two little boys. I want them to know anything they believe and hear is within their reach.

Hill Harper: I would say to be encouraged. Know that there’s nothing that we can’t do. So many young men, I ask them when I go around the country, what do you want to be when you grow up. They say I either want to be a rapper or a ball player. And, after reading my book where I talk about ‘don’t limit yourself’, you should dream big. Tavis Smiley says something I love, he says ‘dream big and the dream bigger and then dream big and then double that. I believe that the transformative effect with be that of courage. I want a young man six months to a year from know saying ‘what do you want to be when you grow up’. ‘I want to be Barack Obama.’






i guess you can say im unlimited.
