BLACK BEAUTY
BLACK BEAUTY IS THE BLACK WOMAN,
IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE WORD.
DESPITE ALL THE NEGATIVITY THAT YOU’VE HEARD.




WE ARE THE FIBER THAT KEEPS
OUR FAMILY TOGETHER.
WE ARE THE FOUNDATION FOR
OUR CHILDREN’S EVERY ENDEAVOR.



WE ARE GRACEFUL CREATURES,
PRESERVED BY NATURE
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME
& NOT EVEN AGE CAN DISTURB
OUR BALANCE OF LINES
SO PERFECTLY DEFINED.




BLACK BEAUTY IS THE BLACK WOMAN
BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT.
IF YOU LOOK, LISTEN, & LEARN,
YOU WILL KNOW WHAT WE’RE ALL ABOUT.
WE ARE LIVING JEWELS,
INSIDE & OUT.

very nice..mind you i dont get why you hide your face a la a muslim sister, and then use your eyes so,well,seductively. I think that kind of thing gives muslims a bad name. lol

Ok submission, tell the board where your gallery is so that your fans can make a pilgrimage.

@Submission. My bad then. But do you realize that you are sending conflicting messages to a person like Me, or Check_Check. First you said you don't dress like that, you only cover your hair, but then you had a picture where you looked at me seductively on thethread ( Why are Jamican Men embracing islam) and then this picture again where I could only see your eyes. Why can't we see the whole face, although I know you are beautiful.

Black Women have no business covering their facesup; because the covering of the whole faceis not African culture. Islamic culture is not African culture, just like the Christian/European culture is not African culture. You see Submission, we Africans respect women so much that we will not force or make our womencover their faces. The women are free and treated us equals. I think it is unfair to make the women cover up while the men are not covered up. Why force one gender to act a certain way while treating the other unfairly. This is not indicative of us Africans.

okey i am not talking about covering of the whole face women who choose to cover up their whole face do so beacuse they want to.. YOU SAID WE AFRICANS RESPECT WOMEN... so do we muslims.. have you ever meet a muslim women.. who is coverd up.. with the veil.. have u ever asked her why she is wearing it.. what makes you think that these women who choose to cover up their faces are not free and equal..






You wonder what my shade is,
What it represents.
Call me anything;
An extremist, a fundamentalist,
Anything you desire.
I don't care.

My shade is
My protection
from this evil world,
from roaming eyes,
from diseased hearts.
Call me anything;
Vain or Submissive.
I don't care.

My shade is
My Protection
of my beauty,
reserved for one
special gift
that God has given me;
My Life Partner.

This world
is but a fleeting moment
about to end
at Any Time.
The Signs are here.
The Day of Judgement is coming.
No one will enter my grave with me except
My body, my heart, my soul.

Call me a pessimist,
Distressed,
Repressed,
Oppressed,
I don't care.

My shade
Covers me
Like a tree from the sun;
Like a coat of wax
on your shiny new sportscar.

My shade
My protection,
is my Khimaar,
I am a woman of Islaam.

Nice poem. Would be even better if the word 'black' was replaced with African.
