Is Ludacris the leader we’ve been looking for?
Chris Bridges a.k.a Ludacris is offering a refreshing image for an art form that has seemed to lose its way over the last decade. This past weekend he made the circuit, promoting his foundation and asking for a new look at philanthropic leadership. This 4 1/2 minute video is worth the time.
Good Look Luda.

I appreciated seeing and hearing this. Stay tuned because this guy may be more steak than sizzle and that’s a good thing for those who care about the past while caring more about the future.

A White Guy Irony PS:
Per Ludacris…aka Chris Bridges.
When I was in college back in the late day of civil rights movements, I wrote a one-act play as a class assignment and the critique I got from my ever so hip and of-so-white-but-feel-the-black-love professor was, in part, that I did not ‘get’ the black culture yadayada in my piece that had one of the two characters an African-American teen.
Her criticism? That the black teen was named Chris, to wit she said something like, ‘No black brother is named Chris’. This despite one of my god-parents being Chris Robins, a very black man indeed.
THAT is what clueless to-the-far-left white PC police do to brothers of multiple-color-of-heart-and-mind-and-deed like myself who just look ‘white’. I’ve been walking the walk all my life but it’s the far left…never the ‘minorities’ themselves…that question me when I speak about racial ethnic matters.
Go figure. But remember what I just wrote because it will ring true if you watch.
Take that to the blood bank.

Ever since Oprah got on him about his music, he has been on a humanitarian mission to prove her wrong. When your haters are philanthropist, proving them wrong is a great thing for the community. I hope he keeps up the good work, and continue to bless those less fortunate.
