Season's Greetings to you Lady Lilac, I'm sure you'll be able to find a debate or person to converse and exchange views with on this site.. I look forward to hearing your perspective..see you soon..

Welcome back Rammie..I see that you're on form, can i just add that we are NOT EPN so don't think we'll be running scared...let the games begin yes!!!!

Hello Blackneters,

I am Dada, I take my name from the post WWI Art Movement that rejected establishment ideals of Art and Culture in Europe, take Dadaism to part of the absurdist development in the performance arts and am not unaware of the irony of the words Nigerian Connotations.

I have posted on Blacknet for longer than I care to remember and had a sorjourn during it's period of absolute absurdity as generated by the likes of U.K Native and some other fool.

I am very pleased with the timely Reformation of Blacknet and have always been impressed with the various contributors that have posted on here, some of which I recognized from back in the day and others of the present. Blacknet has always been for me the CUTTING EDGE OF BLACK\AFRICAN THOUGHT IN THE DIASPORA AND THE MOTHERLAND, it has always been a good mix of grass roots opinion and intellectual debate. Indeed it has shown up it's minor rivial through being less pretenious in proclamation and concerned it'self with content over style. After all if one wants to talke about dating Blacknet has the facility to placate that desire niceone.gif(are you listening EPN) .

I am of Jamaican and Nigerian Ancestory and Born and Bred in Britain, proud of all three, but due to recent events I am particular interested in African, West African and Nigerian Culture, Politics and Customs particularly of the Yoruba Tribe. Let's just say its of a heiridetory nature.

I am particularly interested in how we as Africans, Motherland or Disporian define ourselves in the 21st Century in terms of our values, economic , social and political power.

I am not anti White, or Yellow for that matter, but I do care for the advancement of my fellow Africans in a world where the power framework has been working against us. I am not a supporter of victum mentality or the handout following of affirmative action, but in reality an Objectivist that firmly believes that it is through our own endeavours that our salvation comes, to this end each one of us are important in the manner and way in which we act in respect to repsenting our selves personally and collectively to those in whose societies we live that begrudgingly allocates advancement or opportunities it rather would not give or could not careless about.

In relationship to the above, I was interested in Ramjons own interest in the History of the Battle of Stalingrad , which is a favourite tale of interest to me. I believe that the fate of those of us in the Dispora will be a lot better than that of the six army simply because from a moral point of view we, if we can work together, deserve to surmount our difficulties.

Peace.
