]]> Comment on 2nd Annual Man Up! Conference by Corey Olds http://onecalfoundation.org/blog/?p=1482&cpage=1#comment-3026 Corey Olds Sun, 25 Jul 2010 16:41:13 +0000 http://onecalfoundation.org/blog/?p=1482#comment-3026 As a presenter at yesterday's 2nd annual Man Up! Conference, it has become patently clear that the majority of young black men and boys in Oakland are daily growing desensitized to their own disadvantage and oppression. As late as 7th grade, our boys have not been taught about the seriousness of the challenges facing them, nor have they been prepared to engage their heart and mind as tools, even as weapons, to forge a brighter and more balanced future for themselves. The culture of nihilism, of gangs, and of prison have supplanted formal schooling and non-criminal, reasoned thought as a viable mode of being for the younger generations. Man up, black men, and continue to reach out to these boys! The biblical fire has already come. We (re)build out of ashes. As a presenter at yesterday’s 2nd annual Man Up!

Then I realized it was an organization. Well this just proves how popular Mangosteen fruit really is. At first I thought they were referring to the fruit itself.
