well my name is alythia,ive posted a topic on under 25's about adoption and surragacy parenting,i am writing an essay on both topics(a personal thing,not for school or anything) want inspiration for my art and poetry and ive chosen to use those topics for my paintings,when i get a chance i want to scan some paintings on here,but for now heres one of my poems,hope you like it:



The strength of our future, lies in the protecting of our past.
to divide our children,how long will this last?
The winds which pass through these aged pines
we hear the moaning of departed ghosts,
if the voice of our people could have been heard,
that act would never have been done.
But alas though they stood around they could neither be seen nor heard.
Their tears fell like drops of rain.
I hear my voice in the depths of the forest but no answering voice comes back to me. All is silent around me.
My words must therefore be few.I can now say no more.
I amsilent for I have nothing to answer when the sun goes down.

to all my sisters and brothers,of varied tones:

when the moon weeps to the sun
does mother nature hold out her palms of love?
does she deny her faith
or place each ray into a tiny glove?
i hope to heal,to share with others
to appeal...care for our beloved land,
before dusts settle
flowers shed nettles
instead of petles
lands of grass now kiss sands
i hope to all that cares,
black or white
red or brown
stand and share
so as one nation
to the same god we call
without your love and compation
this earth and her creatures
great or small
trees and hope,
all will fall

Hi, my name is Melanie I am of Jamaican background. I live in Stratford in East London. (Contrary to ignorant opinion, we don't all live in Brixton).

I am 23 years old and a Law Graduate. Are there any other Law graduates on here?Send me a message and let me know how you are getting on after your degree.

I must just say one thing. I ventured into the Trash can Forum just now and I was appalled by the blatantly racist overtones against Jamaicans on there. If this were a white forum the posts in there would have been removed for being racist. yet they are allowed to fester here. What a disgrace. Still, I suppose it's mostly the trash that go in there and spout their nonsense.

Apart from that, it seems like a good forum so I will mooch about for the foreseeable future.

It is almost great to be here.

Hey, i'm sarah. i'm 22. im a bass player and a researcher - i'm doing a phd on the effects of popular music and its interpretation in the media on youth sexualities. I stumbled on here cause i was looking for opinions on whats been said about hip hop being related to black kids under achieving in school (which i think is base racism to start with btw) and i liked the community feel and thought i'd stick around.

Shout out to all the other uk brothers and sistas.

WHATS UP AYALLAH MY NAME IS ALHAJI ABDULLAH, IAM OF AFRICAN DESENT, I WANTED TO ASK YOU HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT NORTH AFRICANS, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE DO U LIKE THE CULTURE E.T.C

This forum is really great, I found it while searching a search engine for "is B.E.T a racist channel? "lol Anyway, I'm twenty four years old, I'm a African but I'm not from America. I can't say a lot yet because I don't feel to comfortable giving away plenty information in my second thread.niceone.gif

What up my brothers and sisters, I'm a 20 yrold Ghanaman here in the states, I've been checking out this forum for a while now but I finally felt it was time to join you guys.



Peace and many blessings

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, so I'm giving it a shot.

I'm new and I just wanted to say hello to everyone here. I have been reading all the wonderful posts for the pasttwoweeks and I decided to join.

I made a decision yesterday that as of October 31st (the last day of using chemical services / perm) I am going to be natural FOREVER for the first time in my life.

And for the first time in my life I feel as if I have made the right choice.banana.gif



I am happy to be here and thanks for having me.
