Yes, I think a philosophy forum would be good, a place to streach the mind to its limit.

I think we need a philosophy forum where heads can knock and deep thoughts can be thought. I've seen other boards that have them and they seem to work well and get real deep and intresting.
What do you think?

I agree...I don't think we foster African philosophy enough. The only thing is you have to make sure it does not bleed too much into what might go into the "Religion & Spirituality" forum since they are indeedtypes ofphilosophy. Philosophy encompasses much more than simply religion/spirituality, but often people only practically recognize religion or their mode of spirituality as theirphilosophy.
If we were real citizens, then there would be no need for "Civil Rights". There are already enough laws on the law books to protect the rights of real citizens.

I dont think we would make much use out of it, we dont make much use out the forums we do have
When the missionaries came to Africa, they had the bible and we had the land. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had bible, and they had the land.

Doubt the mods would make one but its tough placing heavy topics such as De-Evolution in one room on here... I actually feel bad seeingmy,'' ''heaven'' is ''hell'' and ''hell'' is ''heaven'''' topic in the religion room with all those ultra religious peeps in there... its like bringing up the topic in church or something.

Is it me or are peoples sigs changing?
Blackchat needs to do some marketing man! Wheres the boss!? This forum should be up there with the sponcered links on all the search engines... up the cost of advertizing and mailouts! Get rid of the banana and go on a membership drive... even black professional needs a face lift.
Don't slack -keep it black!
That twice as nice advert has been on here for a good year or so now I'm sure.

I wouldn't mind a philosophy forum as long as the topics are geared towards African philosophy. We would also have to make sure that the topics don't get too far into religion and actually tap into other issues like the self, African epistemology, the concept of truth...this could be fun. Oh, we could also talk about trends in African philosophy and have debates on whether ethnophilosophy is a vaild philosophy or not. And if African philosophy should be based more on nationalistic-ideological philosophy, as established by Fanon, Nkrumah and the like, or philosophic sagacity in which we look at the works of sages and griots.
If this is the direction you plan to gear this forum towards then count me in. If not, then forget it. I've had enough of Western and Eastern philosophy. I'm not saying that we can't talk about them in the forum but I would want the main focus to be on our own philosophy.

Butwe are African and draw our own conclusionssowhats learntthen becomes African philosophy.
Man, what a cool subject, I might even take up a course this year thinking about it. Never thought about studying it... if you can come up with a good enough reason for not doing course work would they let you off? I mean if you proper go into it,
''I guess my subconsiouswanted to do the work but I somehow couldn't communicatethat to my consious self''
*Insert thinking pose*
What did you study Mez and who was the most intresting person in your class?
