thank you maria1. Iguess some of the people didn't read the rest of the post. I don't mind thecomments though. I'm not going to let a few uneducated apples spoil the bunch. Most of the people here are very educated and cool. I've gained alot of great info and opinions from this website.But see how easy negativity breeds negativity it went from a cool discussion to this. If this gets you off be my guest.blkbowniceone.gif

You're welcome - like you, I think this is a great site, with some verythought provoking and informativeforums, butI don't like the abusive language that I've seen on this thread and other forums,as I think it lowers the tone of the site, which is a pity.

Sometimes i get so sick of being a black woman in this society. If it's not somedumb ass conversations about light-skin vs. dark-skin, weaves, baby fathers, interracial dating then there is no conversation. Let's talk about how our black community is falling apart due to our ignorance and lack of self love for our people. We are such petty people we don't see how we give white people the power we possess. Our music, our culture, our beauty, our everything is copied, sold, and bought by these people yet we still feel the need to debate amongst ourselves about dumb shit. Let's talk about the real. Sometimes i just feel like what's the point of being in this society. I'm in america where everyone wants to be white but in turn really want to be black with white benefits. I go to Africa where people there think of white people as their gods and try to be like them with bleach creams. Where is the love? Why can't we as people get it together and pull each other in, instead of stepping on each other's toes. They've trained us well. Im an African in a society where if you call a Jamican an african they get offended, or since my name is african to be made fun of or no sort of attempt to pronouce it correctly,yetmost white people do. I don't get black people any more. Im an 1980s kid and sometimes I wish I was born in the 70's where black people had soul, stood for something and were black and proud. It's Just My Thoughts!

You will find that most of your destractors didn't read yoru words........or maybe they read the first two lines and summed up an opinion based on that.
Get used to it.........you will see a lot of that on this site.

Sometimes it is frustrating and grievious to the heart to see our own BLACKpeople show so many ABOMINATIONS towards each other.
Its sad.

REALISTIC101 HAS HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD.SOME BLACK PEOPLE DO ACTUALLY GET SICK AND TIRED OF BEING BLACK OR ATLEAST TO BE ASSCIATED IN THAT CATERGORY BECAUSE WE GO THRU A LOT OPPRESION EVERY DAY,IT MIGHT BE PHYSICAL AS WE SAW IN THE DAYS OF SLAVERY AND COLONIALISM,BUT NOW ITS MENTAL,AS LONG AS WE CONTINUE TO LIVE AND THINK IN WHITE WAYS WE WILL ALWAYS BE SUBJECT TO THEIR POWER.WE HAVE BEEN CONQUERED AND WE ARE BEING CONTROLLED AND WE STILL GIVE AMMUNITION TO THOE POWERS THAT CONTROL US.ITS JUST THAT MOST BLACK PEOPLE ARE NOT AWARE OF SELF KNOWLEDGE AND SELF EMPOWERMENT.WE NEED TO DESTROY THESE BARRIERS THEN WE CAN TRULY GET ENLIGHTENED AND FREE AT LAST IN THE REAL SENSE
WHEN MY HEART CAN BEAT NO MORE,I HOPE I DIE FOR A PRINCIPLE OR BELIEF THAT I HAVE LIVED FOR
