The worst mistake in the Black community is when a sista decide to value and get with low-quality brothas while she is young. She called the young Black men slow-building their foundational manhood “nerds” back in school and end up with Pookie who disrespect her for choosing a low-life piece of crap like himself. 

For real, one second - do the sistas know these Pookies be coming to us good brothas bragging how he treating her like sexual garbage to entertain us with the story on the basketball courts and locker room and bus/train ride home from school?

Her life is literally marginalized and she spends the rest of her days gaslighting and lying to herself about she doesn’t need a man and single moms can do it all.  

In addition to the sista effing up her life, her child will not be “alright” without a father in the home – I love when these feminist sistas run to anecdotes of one or two single moms doing good but don’t mention the disclaimers. And the Black community suffers as well because we need to cultivate the next generation of value creators to maintain and uphold the community.

There is a parallel mistake by young Black men where on the surface the decision seems like nothing, but is just as lifelong marginalization. This mistake was not as common 30 years ago but because of technology, it is more prevalent and especially for Black men under 30 and we got Black men now in their 40s and 50s showing the result of that mistake.

That decision is when a brotha choose to be a CLS brotha. CLS means comment, like, subscribe and they become followers, losers, and looking at another man instead of their individual purpose and God’s plan.

What are these CLS brothas doing and allowing to go on with their lives?

Let Another Brotha Tell Him Who He Is. They allowed cats on the Internet tell them they something like a Lost Tribe of Africans in America, they Hebrews, they Pan-African, they this and that. Trying to classify a lost brotha that is confused about his own identity and purpose. The CLS brotha doesn’t find his own identity from his sunrise to sunset, he repeats that line about being native lineage to America when he was really slave-bred from Native Americans who were slaveowners as well.

Let Another Brotha Tell Him How to Get Women. The CLS brothas are listening to jokers that a real one out here can look at and tell that charlatan ain’t moving like he talking. The biggest one now is these Passport Bro YouTubers and TikTokers who method is tear down women, then try to build them up with what – transforming Dominican and Thai sex workers into a trad wife? So CLS brothas running out messing with sex industry and trafficking chicks instead of quality women and become another goofy naïve victim.

Let Another Brotha Tell Him How to Make Money. The charlatans already figured out if they going to make their own bag, they got to get these goofy CLS brothas online to pay them. So, what the charlatan do is pretend they are a subject-matter-expert and try to relate to the CLS brothas in a dumbed-down fashion. The next step is a hustle called “information selling” in Japan – where they create these eBooks and courses and some investment scheme to put money into off these CLS brothas. The charlatan always takes the money and run or pivot to something else and CLS brothas quietly lost a lot of money and ashamed to fess up.

Let Another Brotha Waste His Damn Time.  We can name one of them – Tariq Nasheed – but this not about him because we can name others like Aton Daniels bullsh*t. It is a pattern where these streamers are running 2–3 hours livestream bumping gums about nothing and goofy CLS brothas are right there typing LOL, joining in on name-calling, not adding nothing of value in a space full of Black men and I’m not comfortable using the term men to be honest. A real man doesn’t got 2-3 hours to f*ck around with – time is money. I can spend 2-3 hours with my family, build up with my Japanese bae, put together the office/studio/outpost space, work on my personal growth and development. There are 3 eights in a day – 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work, 8 hours to handle stuff and CLS brothas listening to 2-3 hours of other men talking nonsense reducing their 8 hours to handle their stuff by 30% - do the math and think about what that CLS brotha chosen to spend his life doing.

Now I’m talking to these CLS brothas because I always been on you. Because just like the sistas, you brothas choosing to comment, like, and subscribe is the dumbest and consequential decision you make as a man and will handicap and limit you from your true purpose and destination in your life.

The path to manhood requires dedication and focus on the purpose and making it to the journey with as little wounds and setbacks as possible.  You got to stand on yours as a Black man and figure out where you want to go and where you want to be. But most important, you got to make sure your plan aligns with God’s plan because every morning you wake up, that’s another chance you were giving by the most high to go out and get it.

Because if you don’t have that kind of purpose as a man in growth and development, you just another goofy doing rideshare gigs or working at the Amazon warehouse packing boxes delivered by robots meeting efficiency numbers to eat and pay bills with no real purpose to where you going and what you doing. You just a gig economy cog in a wheel of a corporate machine. Just like the cats back in the day sharecropping and working in the mines and oil fields, disposable assets to the corporate overlords.

Notice these other men on these live streams will mention CLS to you. They be talking like they got something for a brotha to hear but then you hear them say “please comment, like, or subscribe” and that is your Blue’s clues right there. They need the clicks and views and monetization, they not doing it because they love your CLS weak ass excuse of a man, which is what yall CLS brothas are.

Nobody knows your plan except you and God. No living man knows anything about that inner direction and path that is part of your individualism – you remember that sh*t more than anything you read in this article.

Because you as a man purpose is to build your own story by choosing a path in your life. That takes you to places around the world, develop empires created by you, find that help mate woman that take care of your household and your children while you out there putting in work – none of these goofy cats on the Internet can build that up for you – that is your manhood that create all of that, brotha.

Stop following these characters online brotha, I’m tired of keep telling yall CLS brothas this. You messing up your life and your manhood. Look, I’m in my 50s now and at this age, the rich brotha is the rich brotha and the broke b*tch is the broke b*tch – there no faking the hustle or still building at this stage of life I’m at with my pubic hairs turning gray. Either you handled your manhood the right way all these years/decades or you still out here a goofy over 40 and 50 listening to a livestream typing comments.

You don’t have time for the CLS stuff – becoming a man is a full-time, personal task you have to dedicate and commit to have your place and purpose in this world and one life you have been given.
