Notice when you’re wearing a hoodie and jeans, you’re treated one way. But when you’re suited and booted you’re treated better. IMAGE IS POWER.
F.A.C.T.S!!!
It is . However mlk or Malcolm z wearing a suit didn’t Stop them from being assassinated. We were STILL NIGGAS to them which led to where we’re at now. Just a thought 💭
@@FreshKiddsTV THEY FEAR US! THEY KNOW OUR POWER! SO SHOULD WE!! A black man/ men in suits is a scary thing. Black men, looking and smelling good is a threat to others! OUR MINDS ARE UNSTOPPABLE!! WE GIVE LIFE TO THIS WORLD!
This so true
🙏🏽✌🏽
My grandfather was an Italian immigrant who spoke only broken english. Despite his third grade education, he was highly skilled and made a career as a machinist. He went to work everyday in a coat and tie and gentleman's hat and drove his beautiful American luxury automobile to work. When he got there he would change into his shop coveralls. At the end of the day, he would shower, put on his suit and drive home. Everyone in the neighborhood was certain he was either a doctor, lawyer or high-ranking executive. He had excellent manners and true class. Decades later my grandmother told me that my grandfather never came to the kitchen table in a t-shirt. He wasn't always fancy, but always presentable. He was never stuck up or pretentious. This important lesson was passed down to me from my father: Be very careful how you leave the house, because you are representing the family. Bring honor on the family name. I have never forgotten this.
You reminded me of my grandfather. Always immaculately dressed and you could feel the aura around him. His suits lasted several years but always looked new.
I will heed those words as if my grandpa taught me them. This hit home.
💯💯💯
My grandpa 👴🏽 too!🫱🏾🫲🏿💯❤️👍🏽
Wow
Kevin’s way of thinking and teaching the black community is considered dangerous to the
Jim Crow “thinkers”.
Once unity begins, they’ll deem him as a threat. Kevin is trying to save the black family, and he knows we can’t do it without the black woman.
I’m a student Kevin. Teach my brother.
Yes of course. Jim crow thinkers and feminists and commercial Hip hopers and rappers are making living off destroying Black community and untold suffering of millions of black kids growing up without father, adopting mindset of criminals, who end up dead from all reasons that comes to your mind, or end up on streets as homeless rather than having families and extended kin network who meet, eat dinner with eachother, support each other financially, raising best kids and arrange marriaging with each other so that no black girl left to sell her most valuable dignity, and end up baby momma.
Yes! Agreed!
INDEED 120% TRUTH!!!! I SHARE YOUR SOBER THINKING, I VERIFY YOU!!!
💯💯
"The white liberal [Democrats] are the worst enemy to America. The worst enemy to the black man." Malcolm X
Was never in the military but constantly get asked if I was because of my professional presentation. pants pulled up, shirt belt pants seam lined up, clean shoes, and upright posture. speaking in full sentences, it's the small things that create a positive image of self.
I second that brother, I get that as due to the way I care myself. People associate the military with order and discipline, someone worthy of respect, people want to respect you based on you going to the military rather than your disciplined image, I guess its against social construct to accept a black man who is disciplined, at this point you might as well use that image to make a difference for the better.
Amen well said.
@@Developer888 nobody cares about you being black in that situation its in your head
@@FOURTEEFIVE I mean.. thats definitely not for you to speak on, unless you’re inside every persons head to know how they think and feel?
Bro had the buzz cut to lol
This is some serious truth. You constantly hear black people complain about the image of black people but then live up to the very stereotypes put out there about us. I get sick of that mess.
As the great Nigerian author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, once said, "The thing with stereotypes is not that they are not true, it is that we make it the single story...."
People don't like the behaviors being called out but they don't mind portraying the behaviors.
@@catsdogsbaby8318 speaking proper ain’t white dude if a dude wants to speak in vernacular theirs nothing wrong with that their is also nothing wrong with someone who wants to speak with proper diction either tho
@@catsdogsbaby8318 well the original people of England were so called black but that’s a conversation for another day
And then turn around and say "You're not black" when you don't fit those stereotypes.
Growing up My father showed me how a man should be and he was “different” from your stereotype African man, he communicates effectively, he’s educated, and very well tempered and patient unless you tried his manhood lol he always wore suits and even casual low keyed was dressed up when running errands it was rare to see him wearing jeans. My father raised me and compared to my friends with mother’s I never ever heard my father gossip or even speak ill towards another man so often I never knew the gossip in the community that everyone but me knew. My father is my hero and I’m so thankful, Kevin reminds me soooo much of my father.
Your father blessed you with excellence.
A man would be lucky to have a queen like you.
Salute you and your father. Thank you for sharing this.
You're father sounds like a role model for the male species.
thank you all for your kind words I know we are in the making of producing real men and women my hopes are high now 😌☺️
Kevin just dropped 147 points 97 rebounds 52 assists, 47 Steals, and 39 Blocks...

Factz
Classic
This man left a LEGACY. Even if you don't agree with him, at least he made you think.
He'll be remembered.
When I dress GQ or preppy and speak/write with proper diction and etiquette, I’m paying homage to all the black educators and professionals who paved the way; not because I’m attempting to be other than black.
Very perceptive
@@telescope3 Wtf?
@@telescope3 Well blacks in America are struggling with identity. Some of it is due to our lack of knowledge about our vast history and I don't mean just American history. Most people barely know what black is. The biological definition is different from the label and its not quite exact scientifically. So blacks in America and parts of Europe often cling to stereotypes. It makes many of us feel secure.
@@telescope3 We have to become secure with our image. This happens through knowledge of ourselves and our vast history all across the globe.
This!🙏🏾
KS has changed my life since I started listening to him. I'm from Philly and there's a lot of negativity. So I finally got the courage to leave the hood for a better life. Today I'm in a better place.
Congratulations my man. It takes courage to walk away yet strength to stay away. Stay pressing forward because the hardest part of any journey is knowing you're worth the trip.
I felt the same about Bmore! Been living n Southern California for years an I love it. Waaaaay better!
I hear you dude grew up in the Eastside of Detroit for 22 years I remember when I finally moved outside the city and crossed 8 Mile, homies from the hood didn't want to come with me I was like no point in being here unless I have enough money to do something for the community, pretty much their Mantra was if it ain't Hood it ain't me
@@MisterE1976 thank you
@@icebergslim3743 that’s awesome bro
Now I understand why you didn't touch that Derrick Jaxn situation.
Same here.
Not gon lie I wanted him to lay into jaxn especially when jaxn insinuated he was sus . But true lesson in not responding to everything that comes your way.
He actually called him out before it was revealed months prior..."Where is this married man...getting this SINGLE information" lmao
As he should,you don't have to comment on everything
I agree. It wouldn’t be a good look and not necessary. The word did enough already

A 1 on 1 with Kevin and Thomas Sowell would be EPIC!!!💎
The sad part is "woke" black people have been trying to cancel Mr. Sowell and call him a sellout because he doesn't prescribe to the typical victimhood excuses prevalent in the black community.

Thank you
Mr.Samuels, my admiration level has peaked. I have never heard a black man in modern-day speak about our image and how we are responsible for it the way you have. You now have a faithful supporter in me.

RIP Brother. You changed how I show up in life. You helped me to realized that image is extremely important and each one of us has a responsibility and the ability to project the best image for ourselves and the groups we represent. Salute!!
Still cant believe he is gone. Sucks....continue to be great brother
Salute indeed 🫡
Well if we fall for this image over all this is why many in the world pass over diamonds not realizing that they were in the presence of diamonds and fell for image. Don't get me wrong I can put it together when needed I am not a slave to it. I like the free spirit nature. It all comes down to being comfortable or confident in ones skin. I like makeup but I am not a slave to it and can comfortably go outdoors without it. Image is powerful but being real is far greater.
@@hughmungus4118 I assume you are saying he is just away watching a game. I hear ya ✊🏽
Hmm I think there's a time and a place for everything. Personally i do not like overdressed guys all the time. A blaze t'shirt jeans and white sneakers on a man also looks good to me too. Kevin looked good and smooth with his suit and tie, but too uptide for me.. Liked his language tho.🙂 R.I.P
This dude is more Pro-black than I imagined. If u can watch Wendy Williams gossip and Oprah talk then you can listen to someone who is helping to bridge the black community between BM and BW.
If we need entertainers and celebrities to heal the division between BM and BW. We are in much bigger trouble.
@@juniorleslie4804 it already happens when you have Joe Biden having a conversation with cardi b and the breakfast club and not to mention LeBron James we put our faith in celebrities when we should put it in ourselves and do our own research.

This is why we support you Kevin, you wanna actually set things right. we gotta come together family! ✊🏿💯
Yes you are right
I am with it
Winning! We MUST support each other.
Let’s gooo
Not in our lifetime bro
Brother Kevin just went beast mode.
He went full-on beast and I lived for it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
But he BEEN doing. You can’t come on his show and start saying reckless shit about black men. He ain’t having it.
@@AprilHarmony9 Never go Full Beast!

This man gave so much to the world. I pray God welcomed him home
💯 God welcome his son back. He honored God by being a messenger to black community
I used to only wear blazers and blouses, nice shoes and always have my hair curled. White people would treat me like a First Lady, but black people would always tell me I’m over dressed and question why I looked “so nice”. Slowly I started changing the way I dressed and used sneakers and hoodies, so I blended in more with black people. But bwoi Kevin has really opened my eyes with this!! Honestly the influence we keep really does make a difference. All these years I’ve been influenced negatively by my so called friends because they always want to walk around naked or in sneakers. Since I started wearing sneakers, I got less positive attention. I’m going back to
My blazers and blouses and looking like a lady in my heels.
Same I use to dress nicely wherever I went and people would say I'm over dress so I tired to "dress down" to fit in now I'm obese and look terrible I'm not blaming anyone but myself one on food down my throat but after binge watching KS since the pandemic I'm getting myself together
Wow, I'm sorry to hear this. I hope you replace your friend group and revert back to the nicely dressed lady you were before.
Please Do.!!! There is only ONE of YOU. YOU are ONE of a KIND.
Same here in Africa we wear perfume all the time but here in America when you wear perfume people think you have a date or meeting females
naked lol "you cant make this up"
KS is a 53 year old man, if you can't listen to the wisdom of your elders, you are truly lost.
Lost as french toast
While I do agree with some points, KS has had 2 marriages. Neither that lasted 3 years. Taking relationship advice from someone who cant hold together a relationship is where most people are lost. What qualifies him as a guru... failing at marriage? More might be receptive taking advice about marriage from a married man w/10, 15 years experience
@@brendacook5103 You are in your feelings. Saying that the lady in front of you is FAT when SHE IS FAT is the TRUTH. He may be harsh, but HE IS NOT ATTACKING if it is the TRUTH. TRUTH sometimes hurts, but just because it hurts does not mean that the reality can be changed.

@@1flash3571 do you learn from your mistakes? Everyone does. Your opinion isnt going to be taken as fact. Fact- kevin has been married twice. Fact- neither lasted 3 years. Fact- someone who has never experienced a healthy flourishing marriage isnt equipped to speak on what it takes or needs. Do you have any facts not based on emotion that you'd like to share hun?
Our image really is messed up. Once I bought a pair of Chelsea boots and the cashier asked me “what’s the occasion”. Not a tuxedo, not even a pair of oxfords. A pair of Chelsea boots.
Damn it’s that bad with us
DAMN! 🤬
Bruh I had the same shit happen in Aldo.
Wow
Me and my pops got something we joke about nowadays….
I remember being about 21 and had a girlfriend I was rollin with real strong. Me and pops spoke on a Monday and he says “son, what you do this weekend?” I remember tellin him me and my girl at the time kicked all weekend and I bought a “nice bottle of Grey Goose”. My finances weren’t the best at the time and I really wasn’t in a position to “buy the good shit” lol. My daddy went in on my ass telling me how I paid for the name and that my pockets didn’t warrant that type of spending. Me being immature as hell felt at the time that he was hatin on my lil weekend with my boo..lol. Fast forward 2021 and a much more mature Man and MINDSET, and I never hesistate to reference when clowned me about Grey Goose and the importance of value in us as black men. Thanks Pop✊🏾

Kevin is teaching! My father wore a suit every single day, and even had little suits tailor-made for my brother when he was 5! My mother always dressed like a lady too, so naturally I followed and my friends used to say I dressed "too white." Image is so important, before you even speak a word people have already judged you by your image.
So then y r u scantily cladly dressed
Haha thats great..youre right as my dad would say take pride in your appearance. It's not about impressing just raising up your own energy

should not being our only code.
Mr. Samuels just dropped NUKES with this one. The “you know who’s” have already dug holes for themselves.
Without a shadow of a doubt, this was KS BEST WORK!!! His untimely death shows the vast importance of controlling how the world sees us. Media outlets and platforms have jumped at the chance to discredit his work without challenge, as opposed to when he invited them to. It's imperative that we keep this particular message alive.
Facts fam....big facts
Yeah. He was multifaceted but his detractors were so offended that they didn't give his content a chance.
I don't agree with everything he said but a lot made sense.
Makes you wonder was his departure sped up
What happen to him ??
@@donk9189 They claim he died of hypertension. But, anyone with any sense can figure out that he was "taken out" for spreading this message.
This makes me thank god for my dad. Growing up image was everything. Demanding respect and controlling the room. My dad dressed in a suit just because some days & the respect he maintained was priceless. He oversaw a Halliburton work site but many won’t know. He never wore joggers or sweats, only freshly starched pants with creases & professional attire. At 71 years old he’s still complimented & highly respected in his retirement.

They understood image was powerful when Black Panther came out. It was so “important” to see a black super hero. But when its comes to taking personal responsibility, everyone wants to pretend like it shouldn’t matter and society should accept us the way we are. Its not just about the image others portray of us, the most important image is the one we portray of ourselves everyday.

@@johnames6430 you have a Wakanda it’s in Africa. Why not move there and help build it?
@Pete Pazzz I agree, and I refused to watch the movie just to prove that me and my kids would be just fine without it. I was attempting to give the people with no critical thinking skills some logic they could follow.
@Jay'sWorld! you mean with a small population of white people? Well don’t worry the new regime has changed the constitution to allow for the killing of whites in regards to land disputes as seen by the killing of whites bc of colonialism.
I agree I think whites should leave Africa but to be fair it’s needs to work the other way around as well
I Agree 🤔
This whole situation has taught me the error of my ways. A lot of times men as fans of sports forget that the term fan is short for fanatic, and we get quite fanatical when talking about sports. We tend to separate the man from the athlete. From now on I will monitor the way I speak about certain things behind closed doors and/or on social media. Even if it is about something as mundane as sports.

Same. I have never seen my father dressed rough. Always wearing a dress shirt with smart trousers and dress shoes. He is very well socialised and it’s great. Both my parents taught me that dressing very smart is always better than dressing rough. As much as I have complaints about them, being told and taught hot to dress smart definitely improved my social status 👍🏽

Who dares to dislike this powerful message ?
The groups of people who low key like to see Black People struggle
Black men we need to stop pushing out this negative ignorant image of ourselves. That “rapper” “thug” look. Don’t copy others style and looks, be your own human, and don’t dress ignorant to fall into negative stereotypes.
Exactly, wearing clothes like that puts a target on your back because of the stigmas attached to that style of dressing. 🙏🏾
I strongly agree 💯
Like that will ever happen. The thug, the rapper is the default setting for Black males. Anything outside of that is anathema.
I agree 100%
I wholeheartedly agree but let’s be real the image of the thug is celebrated while people like booker t Washington or Ben Carson are not.
Kevin's absolutely right that image is power. For my job I have to wear dress clothes and a tie and every single time I go somewhere after work and people greet me warmly, call me sir, customers commonly ask me if I work at the place I'm visiting, and so on. You dress like you respect yourself, others will respect you
Where I work, although we have a particular uniform, I make sure gear myself to look as "ready" as possible. I didn't use to do that in the beginning but I do now and Kevin's right. Appearance matters💯💯💯
Exactly! How can I respect you if you don't respect yourself?
Dressing up is perfectly fine, but it should not be essential to garner respect as a human being, as a man. Black people in particular for decades have fallen into the traps of chasing respectability through outer appearance, only to be rendered crestfallen time and again by the racist mechanics of U.S. society. Whether I'm wearing a tuxedo or a t-shirt, my character, mind and worth is not hinged upon another's opinion of my attire.
Great lesson...

It is also worth noting that when this film came out the democrats were proud of their ties to the white sheet gang. Image can hide monsters as well as create them.
Yes it did, but its switching direction. What i mean is black were the enemy to white democrats mainly and yes there were years of racist republicans but the image is damaged and sorry to say but the black community still votes over 80% dem so if we look real close not thatz its the same but their enemy is the republican (any color) its to the point now whites hate and are taught to hate themselves thats why its ok to be racist to republicans (any color) cause there still the same dems from the olden days
@@govannieloera818 the switch never happened. Do you understand the irony of what you wrote?

Facts notice the regulars who leave comments to hate on black women have nothing to say about this positive message
@@PardonMyPresence why r u making it about black women?
This was definitely a good one
I hope this will be the first of many. Frankly, I want more of this type podcasts.
@@sobc2737 nice edit. Just remember the person you are responding to sees the original. I didn't make this about black women. I pointed out the difference in the people leaving comments. If some regular commenters don't feel compelled to comment on this video, it says a lot about who they are and their intentions. That is all.
That was amazing and full of truth. Let us join together. We all we got!
YES💯

You damn right sis
@@coachcarroll963 hey whatever works for you, Rock on. But don’t come to me with that mess.
Whoa . Kevin made a statement tonight.. Brother is on Code.
This man was a superhero...he even had his own theme music.
The " Love n Hip hop" image has way too much impact on our youth
Unfortunately, the lowest common denominator always sells in America.
And the thing that kills me is
there's a lot of educated black people (Women) who love watching this mindless Bullshit called reality TV
So true, my teenage daughter was upset with me when I wouldn’t let her watch it... that or Empire.Nope, I used to explain to her that she didn’t know enough about life to watch that mess and think that’s what life is about.
@@M.odernO good job!
@@MrBronx61 And the rich get richer by selling this to the masses. The dream 👍
I wear a suit or sportcoat every Saturday night when I go out. Most men scoff, but the ladies smile.
Indeed!
I dead azz have 2 off days a week sometimes 1 and my off day im in a suit or some slacks and loafers or wallabys. A lot of guys look at me crazy but the women like it.
I’ll bet you look good too! Keep it up. It matters and it helps our cultural image.
Wonder why greatest dancer
Yes Sir, a big smile!! Thank you for taking the time to do so.
I love how he used Malcolm X as the thumbnail for this video Malcolm X was one of the most articulate well-spoken poise black men to ever walk the face of the earth that’s what made it so hard for them to tarnish his image
🙏🏾
I’m not black, I’m 1st gen chicano and he hit on a lot of great points that have been lost in our time. Image is power, what a great voice of reason. I’ll be taking this advice myself and applying it. Just because everyone around you is acting a fool doesn’t mean you have to as well
Indeed
Is that why so many chicanos have the baggy khakis and flannel shirts?

Neely Fuller Jr’s “4 Wants” came to mind once he mentioned being on code.
1. WHAT do you want to do?
2. WHY do you want to do it?
3. HOW do you plan on doing it?
4. WHAT do you expect the CONSTRUCTIVE result to be?

Kevin Samuel has proven on his platform image is power I’ve watched him go from 50,000 to almost 1,000,000 subs in less than a year, the reason why I say 1 million because theres at least 200,000 people out there watching him that just refuse too subscribe.. it’s proof that evil will view you more than your supporters
He has loyal lurkers lol
I wasnt even aware I hadn't subscribed...but definitely been supporting and forwarding his Videos...good job reminding my Subscriber count matters!
@@matthewmoseslee Better late than never sir!
Lol, I'm not sure what evil has to do with it, I just don't belong to the black community but these videos always seem to pop up for me and I do enjoy listening to this man speak.
@@1motomanic subscribe you fool
The "Godfather" has taken his message up a notch and is putting together a cohesive understanding of why the black community is in such a dilemma. Thank God he's here, almost like Moses in the old testament leading his people to the promised land.
Oh wow.
We'll. What if I told you we are those people Moses delivered. We are the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. PRAISE YAHWEH OUR ELOHIM For the Great AWAKENING
He’s modern day Noah , people keep laughing thinking it’s a game while he tell the truth.
Certainly, it's a mess, the message was needed. When I see adults carelessly insult others for no reason you can only question their maturity.
I wouldn’t go that far but yeah
I grew up in the '70's, most of the men in my family were blue collar. They wore Dickey's and overalls every day for work. But when the holidays came or they went to church, they wore Brooks Brothers suits, Stacey Adams shoes, London Fog coats, and Dobbs hats. I have never forgotten those images. They worked hard, but when it came time, to get flied up, they showed up and showed out. Image is indeed, everything.
As an ex military man, I love discipline! We've had a generation grow up without father figures so this is much needed in our community. Generation X black men are waking up and taking our rightful place as the leaders and examples we're meant to be. Salute Kevin!
No such thing as an "Ex-Military" man or woman.
I love the Gladiator reference.

Facts!!
If people haven’t agreed with nothing else The Godfather has said...THIS IS IT!!! Very important to pay attention to regardless of the “tone/delivery”
No lie..I been watching his video & I feel like a damn fool. My emotion got tied into his delivery but the more I look into it, despite how harsh it may come off especially toward black women I have to look at the facts. He’s not lying & I’m shocked how my views about him are changing. He is shaking up these smoking mirror we as black people have ignored. It’s uncomfortable yes but it must be said
Absolutely
Kisha do you have an Instagram
Naw he is trying to sanitize yt supremacist practicing yt supremacy
@@BeEnOn very humbling moment. Congrats!
They loved Denzel in training day though. Now it makes sense .
Denzel was a glorified slave catcher in that movie.
I never watched the movie (I never have been interested in those types of movies), however if the online synopses are accurate, the entire plot/premise of the movie is ridiculous and does the very damage to the black male image Mr. Samuels is speaking about. As much as I hold Mr. Washington in a generally high regard, he too is guilty of contributing to the negative black male image, this movie being but one example.
They need to love Denzel for Malcolm X
@Pete Pazzz same sh*#.
Only movie he got the is Oscar for, same thing with Halle Berry in monsters ball
It really did feel like so much change was coming just for a small window in time. Then one man passes and everyone’s back to their bullshit. It was nice while it lasted. Hope those who changed their lives keep his memory alive. He really did inject so much life into those that truly listened. I’ll always be grateful for that.
I hear you. He left us plenty to pick up and take forward. I'm certainly encouraged to transform myself and prepare for the king meant for me.
As Michael Jordan once said” image is everything “.
But Michael didn't care about is own image and his cultural background, remember when asked about his stance on race and politics he said republicans children wears sneakers too. Yes in recent time he has adjusted his views has somewhat vocal about racism.
Jordan Is Woke!
good message, poor speaker.
Protect this man at all costs. He is quickly becoming one of the most important men in the 21st century.
He will become a Legend.. The Godfather, grandfather, dad, cousin, uncle that we all need more of.
I like him, I want my sons to become this way.
I'm heartbroken

I noticed a Few of my friends didn’t wanna hang out with me after I changed my attire to buisness casual . Smfh.. I took it personal at first but now I actually like it. It shows that I evolved. I like my nikes but it was definitely time for a change. The crazy thing is that you can change your entire wardrobe with 18 items

Very proud don't let them hold you down. You will find people with common things
Those were not your friends. Friends support and uplift each other. This is reminiscent of brothers who go off to college only to come home and discover that their friends are jealous of their higher education or achievement. This indeed is one of the problems.
Can you give me a list of those items lol
A POSITIVE ..... That's the title of your new podcast. 18 ITEMS.
Thank you so much Mr. Samuels. Continue to rest in peace. We needed this and so much more.
You know it’s bad when everywhere you go you just not sure what to say to a women. I’ll put it that way🤣
This man is a Blessing to Black People and we don't even know it.
I said this the other day!
Right? I don’t see how some ppl think he’s bad... they just don’t understand the positive impact he’s really making.
@@rando3963 People may not like his delivery. I know when I would just see clips of him, before I actually listened to a full stream, I thought he was a jerk. Like his delivery or not, the truth is the truth
We know, that's why we are on his live when he comes on!
I 💯% agree with you brother
This has to be one of Kevin's most important videos. Please make this a series.
His older videos were just as informative.
This is definitely a message that the masses not only need to hear but take to heart. Look at how people, men particularly, were dressed during the Great Depression while being unemployed compared to how many dress today. It's shameful.
Absolutely right
And now he's gone. I'm super bummed to hear about his passing. 😔 He sooo needed to be heard.
What's crazy is that all these women are now tweeting the SAME bs he said they label people like him with... Misogynist, woman hater, etc etc... All the things he said here... And even funnier are the ones that are the loudest, are the ones I seen on his show & he shut them down 😂 What's sad is they obviously never listened to what he said, because they are STILL angry! The people that needed to truly hear what he said, didn't listen to his words, didn't soak it in, think about it and make changes. Instead, they'll take to Twitter when he passes and call him names 🙄 obviously STILL single, angry & miserable. They'll realize he was right, too late.
IMO this is when KS was at his best. He loved his community and the attempts to discredit him and his work are harmful.
Ikr?😎
No it's ignorant
I just wanna say as a white man I have nothing but respect and hope for my black brothers and sisters out there in their struggle.
Keep up the good work Godfather.
Wow! Informative, corrective, enlightened content. And truth.
Damn he shouted out CHRONICLES OF JUDAH👊🏿👊🏿
Aiight man peace !!!
Hell yeah
YESI SIR💯
Chronicles is the TRUTH!!!!!!
Chronicles of Judah recently gave Kevin a shout out. He's still making videos. Join his patreon.
I remember when NYPD officers would pass me over for stop and frisk because I wore cardigans, polo shirts and chino pants to school (copying Kanye West's image at the time). I didn't have to, but I knew that dressing that way was a small "sacrifice" to not get thrown up against a gate and patted down like the other teenagers walking to the train in front of me (a real travesty; traumatic visual). (P.S. I should also note, police also know to not mess with me because they've seen me with my Father.)
Traumatic in deed. You figured out how to play a piece of the game though at that time. 🙏🏾
Nice
Strategic
People nationwide had no clue Bloomberg was one of the most racist public figures. What he did contributed to the race riots today. Happy you survive this.
Genius
Thank you for this blog Mr. Samuels, it's usefulness is needed. I am a black woman raised overseas , and this is all shocking to me. The shock stems from the fact we as a people tend to spoon feed certain stereotypes to ones who wish to oppress. The only way to," nip this in the bud" so to say is to rise above situations. It is a double edge sword as you said, I have been called ," White Washed" due to the fact I am very articulate and walk in the truth of the way I was raised. We are not all raised or from lower economic situations.
KS Is out here single handedly trying to save the black community! Thank you for this!😊
Facts, when it's all said and done people will be saying

@@berrymckockiner5883 no but he is doing a part.
But they don't want it...
@@tthomas like the people that don't want God Jesus Christ correcting them right ?
I’ve actually lost a job for dressing professionally. Someone started rumors that I was going to interviews on my lunch break and within a month, it was over. Great job, I worked hard, and only dressed up once a week to feel like I was actually working at my career n boost my confidence. Funny that it was a black woman who started the rumors as “a joke”. I was so surprised when she said that.
Wow...so sad 😥...
That doesn't even make sense. Sounds like a dumb job/boss.
Sue them.
Is it even illegal to go on interviews during your lunch break?

This New Black Male image Thing is Coming Together 🤴🏾🤝🏼
Yessir I feel it 🙌🏾
And y'all gonna look soo good in your suit n ties🙏🏾
Image is power! 👏🏾
Kevin was an army of 1. 🙏🏽
This entire video was a culture class.
i had a chick break up w me bcuz i wore a suit. She said i looked square. So i know exactly why the man felt embarrassed to wear one. That's why you dnt let a woman control anything you do...
Anytime someone begins that, expect more comments like that. You saved yourself!
That was a girl. Women love a man in a suit.
WHAT!!??? That is a low value woman that didn't appreciate a man styling in a suit. I'm tired of seeing pants below the butt and underwear that's not in a package. Please keep wearing your suits or sports coat etc.
Get a gold chain and go get her back.

FACTS!! ALL DAY!!
I have YET to see the hoards of "white supremacists" out there that is ALWAYS thrown out there. DEMOCRATS use this excuse constantly to blame ALL whites for everything that's ever happened - when the KKK & SEGREGATIONISTS WERE DEMOCRATS. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS FORMED BY BLACK & WHITE SENATORS TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS TRYING TO RE-ENSLAVE & TAKE GUNS FROM FREED PEOPLE.
THAT IS THE REALITY.

Crazy part is I didn’t figure this out till I started going downtown/north side Chicago last year door dashing and I was wearing what I’m comfortable in ppl treated me like I was bout to rob the place! But when I dressed like a grown man I got treated with the utmost respect! I kept associating it with racism but clearly it wasn’t! Image is everything thanks godfather!
Its racism.😂. Put a white guy in the same hoodie and pants and no one would feel threatened, he would be treated right

Ah ok l was wondering what it was.
This guy is in a lane of his own. This is a prime example on how to use your platform the right way. I lose interest in 99% of the channels on UA-cam after watching one or two videos. But this channel is like the Lay’s slogan, “betcha can’t watch just one”.
I love he always subconsciously touched/fixed his tie as he talked. Ever the image consultant!
