State of the Union Address

Forget politics this is a VOGUE | Diaspora STATE OF THE UNION "CRIME" ADDRESS. I don't know if these strong emotions come with age or what but now more than ever I have this terrible feeling about the state America is in. Who are we granting justice to? The murdered... or the murderers?

God. Why are our people dying? By our people, I do mean the American people. Since the murder of Trayvon Martin so many other murders have been brought to my attention. The murders of Bo Morrison as well as the most recent murder of:
                  NOLAN RYAN HENDERSON.

Fabolous was spotted on the set of his "She Did It" music video wearing the brand's Rotweiller College Print T-Shirt.

Rally for Trayvon Martin in Washington D.C.



Today I had the pleasure of being amongst some of the most passionate, and determined individuals that  inhabit America. Today was the day that residents of Washington D.C. and the rest of the DMV area met in support of Trayvon Martin's family, Trayvon as well as in support of JUSTICE. In a countless and diverse crowd of people, some crying; some smiling, there was something in the air. Something that can never be seen, only felt. Pride and determination swept through the crowd and although we were all different, we all came for the same reason. The rally for Trayvon Martin was absolutely beautiful and I HAD to share it with those who unfortunately could not be in attendance. Trayvon Martin went from being a regular teenage boy to being God's beautiful message. A message of justice, equality, understanding and most of all a message of peace.

Black Men Don't Love Black Women?

Truth Moment. 
 
Over spring break, after watching yet another rap video where the love interest was a young Spanish chick, I simply tweeted . . ."When Did Black Men Stop Loving Black Women?" Shortly after me & one of my followers engaged in debate over the validity of this statement, so you know I had to bring it to team VOGUE|D.

I know, it's a pretty harsh statement. However, after seeing countless music videos where black men swoon over the exotic chick, & reading tweets like, "I'm #teamnokids but when I do have them I want a mixed little girl with light skin & long curly hair", I have reasons behind my statement. 

& while I do understand that there are upstanding black men in this world who still adore black women, I still maintain that there is an obvious decline in the relationship of African American men & women.

Fresh Off The Runway | Kanye West F/W 2012

Something that critics brutally attacked him for previously
