Black Socks: Stinky, Sweaty and Ugly When They are Exposed

Black socks.  Most people own a pair and if you don't, well you are missing out on some laughs especially when you are caught wearing them and stark naked--lol!  I thought of this idea for this entry because well, I was in the mood to do something less serious, less controversial, less spiritual, etc. at my son's request a mere six years old.  Of course, he didn't use those big words but he did say, while praying one day, "Lord, I pray that mom will say something to the people on Facebook and Twitter...that isn't about God sometimes."  Oops!  I have to admit that lately I have been spreading the good news on those sites, so I have slowed down (uh somewhat).  Anyway, back to my thoughts on black socks and black folks.  Oh yeah, there is a connection!

You see I have a long history dealing with black folks and black socks.  The relatives I helped and the men I have dated in the past I had to sometimes endure their stinky, sweaty and ugly black socks.  Oftentimes I said nothing.  I just washed them.  Some socks were expensive designer types and others were cheap like the ones in a dollar or drug store that beckoned someone with a big foot to "just buy me, so I can give you a laugh when your big toe pokes a hole in me."  While separating laundry I would say to myself, "I know this man is not going to put these cheap socks with a hole back on!"  Then I would watch, and what do you know, shoes off and recliner up, that man's holey sock had been worn all day under his nice suit-- can we say, "Tacky!" 

Well, when I think of those black socks' memories, I can't help but think how much the color stands out amidst all other socks.  They are available for all to see.  Now if you choose to buy them, it's up to you.  But my point is, black socks like black folks stand out.  Despite the popularity of white socks, black socks make a statement depending on how and where you wear them.  Put them on without clothes and they are laughable.  Buy quality black socks with a little glean to them and wear them with a nice suit and when your pant leg raises up, they are saying something.

 Now when we don't buy quality socks, care for them, dress them up with a matching outfit, then they are ugly.  To make matters worse, when we entrust someone else to do what we should be doing with our socks, we might lose a few and they just might not get washed.  Poor black socks just sitting somewhere with no purpose except to smell maybe.

So my point is because you are one of the hues that stand out, made of quality, have purpose, and when people see you, they react to you in some way, know this, that despite whatever flaws you have someone loves you, beyond the skies (sorry son couldn't help myself) and my God has ordered your steps.  Trust Him to handle your dirty laundry.

Is The Black Church A Financial Scam? | Celebrity News & Style for Black Women

I have been attending church for years.  I have given to many different funds.  Some ministries did what they were supposed to do with the money they asked for, but others didn't.  Pastor didn't cut out his salary so that the building could be repaired.  His wife didn't stop dressing up to get programs started that she claimed, "God told her to begin."  Staff in some cases wasn't getting paid, yet leadership wants a new church!?  So then I had no choice but to ask this question, "Where is the $$$ going?"  Needless to say, God would raise the red flag about certain groups and out I would go.

I love our people, don't get me wrong!  But many of our people are hustlers!!  Old school watched too much Amos and Andy shows and took notes.  From Grandma and Grandpa lying and saying they need money for bills when in all actuality, they just want money to gamble.  "Baby, you know I will give you something when I win..."  Yeah right.  Look I don't work or save my money to fund hustlers and you shouldn't either!  Drill your relatives, church leaders, and others when they come looking for some money.  Then take a couple days and pray about it.  And whatever you do, don't co-sign on no one's loan!   "Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts..." Proverbs 22:26

The African American Church - Growth, Essence and Context!

When it comes to the historical development of the African-American Church like no other, various areas of expertise were blended and many backgrounds united on a common ground. The main purpose of these unified bodies was to establish and advocate a common goal for the development of the African-American Church, which some refer to in an interchangeable manner as the Black Church.

The collaboration of these inspiring individuals, and functional groups, were centered on a shared and singular vision of establishing and uplifting the African-American Church for African descendants. There were many pioneers in this effort including the following: W. E. B. Dubois who authored The Negro Church (1903); Carter G. Woodson, author of The History of the Negro Church (1921); E. Franklin Frazier who penned The Negro Church in America (1963); and Benjamin E. Mays and Jacob Nicholson, who collaborated on writing The Negro's Church (1969).

Additional support was received from Colgate Rochester Divinity School in 1966 by the hiring of Dr. Henry H. Mitchell as the first Martin Luther King, Jr., Professor of Black Studies. The university provided intellectual, professional, and inspirational development and guidance coupled with transformative leadership for the establishment and enhancement of the African-American Church.

Inspiration and development were acquired in the areas of innovative teaching and learning based on imaginative vision and ministerial leadership of Black Christianity. Potency in the program fostered and cemented when Whites, Blacks, Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans bonded together to support and promote the program by taking courses to strengthen their vision and base of knowledge regarding African-American Christianity.

Consequently, the springboard effect of this critical and methodical approach evolved into a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary intellectual richness of practical and theoretical African-American Spirituality. The interdisciplinary area resulted from an integration of rich and vibrant knowledge from a perspective of multiple disciplines, which holistically solved many issues through the medium of research and educational applications.

On the other hand, the multidisciplinary integration of efforts encompassed various fields of study which were delved into, thus resulted in conversations which illuminated the objective areas of African-American Studies and the Black Church. Many of the applications used during the program investigated and solved grievous problems arising from:

  1. Racism and its disparaging and discriminatory impact on African-Americans
  2. Sexism and how such practiced negatively affected African-Americans
  3. Classist society and its adverse influence on African-American members of society

The eventual realization of this combined undertaking proved that the Black Church was and still is a necessary, vital, integral, and developing component of American society. The awakening resulted in the Black Church emerging in the forefront of religion as an interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and culturally dynamic component: Naturally, it cuts across the spectrum of African-American spirituality thus providing a larger view and context of the Black Church.

Joseph S. Spence, Sr. (aka "Epulaeryu Master"), is the author of "The Awakened One Poetics" (2009), which is published in seven different languages. He also co-authored two poetry books, "A Trilogy of Poetry, Prose and Thoughts for the Mind, Body and Soul" (2005), and "Trilogy Moments for the Mind, Body and Soul," (2006). He invented the Epulaeryu poetry form, which focuses on succulent cuisines. Joseph is a Goodwill Ambassador for the state of Arkansas. He has completed over twenty years of service with the U.S. Army.
