Have ya'll notice the "Gangstarbitchbarbie" who's joined this group around on the pages. I've noticed who her "friends/contacts" are so why would somebody who calls themselves that name be on a site representing a black magazine (with black women included). What would be her angle hmmm...sounds like trouble except for the black men here of course.

Marcia K. Carson, I must agree with everything you stated, You should never use your black as an excuse not to do well in life. Always remeber that being black means that you come from a long line of Kings and Queens. From business owners to every day movers shakers. Know that you should always be proud to be black. Just know when you see your black sisters and brothers in the struggle never stop and think twice about up lifting them and helping when needed

Growing up in KY. in an all-black community, you know loving self was instilled in us. The founding fathers of our community, my grandfather, his uncle, my other grandfather, his brothers, sisters; were born slaves; after the civil war, nobody told them that because they were black they could not buy land, nobody told them they could not build homes, dig wells for drinking water, farm, build 2 churches, 1 school. educate their children, to be teachers, doctors, wardens, secretaries, police officers, lawyers, sure there are a few drunks in there, but these are the people whose strength was ours to build on. Blackness was not a hinderence. Being black means going out there and doing what you have to do and making your family proud of you. Do not use your blackness as an excuss for failing. It is not a monkey on your back. It is not an automatic excuse for you to go out and take crack or fail in school. You don't wonder if you can, you go out and DO! Remember when God made white, He knew it wasn't quite right; then he made brown, he said stick around; but when he made black, there was no turning back!

Lord, Why Did You Make Me Black?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This poem was written by RuNett Nia Ebo inspired by the Book of Genesis. I received the authors permission to put this beautiful piece on my website. Please DO NOT copy or distribute without her permission. Check out her website at http://expage.com/page/poetofpurpose

LORD, WHY DID YOU MAKE ME BLACK?
Lord, Lord,
Why did You make me Black?
Why did You make me someone
The world wants to hold back?

Black is the color of dirty clothes;
The color of grimy hands and feet.
Black is the color of darkness;
The color of tire-beaten streets.

Why did you give me thick lips,
A broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did You make me someone
Who receives the hatred stare?

Black is the color of a bruised eye
When somebody gets hurt.
Black is the color of darkness.
Black is the color of dirt.
How come my bone structure's so thick;
my hips and cheeks are high?
How come my eyes are brown
and not the color of the daylight sky?

Why do people think I'm useless?
How come I feel so used?
Why do some people see my skin and think I should be abused?

Lord, I just don't understand;
What is it about my skin?
Why do some people want to hate me
And not know the person within?

Black is what people are "listed",
When others want to keep them away.
Black is the color of shadows cast.
Black is the end of the day.

Lord, You know, my own people mistreat me;
And I know this just isn't right.
They don't like my hair or the way I look
They say I'm too dark or too light.

Lord, Don't You think it's time
For You to make a change?
Why don't You re-do creation
And make everyone the same?

(God answered:)

Why did I make you black?
Why did I make you black?

Get off your knees and look around.
Tell Me, what do you see?
I didn't make you in the image of darkness.
I made you in the Likeness of ME!

I made you the color of coal
From which beautiful diamonds are formed.
I made you the color of oil,
The black-gold that keeps people warm.

I made you from the rich, dark earth
That can grow the food you need.
Your color's the same as the panther's
Known for (HER) beauty and speed.

Your color's the same as the Black stallion,
A majestic animal is he.
I didn't make you in the Image of darkness
I made you in the Likeness of Me!

All the colors of a Heavenly Rainbow
Can be found throughout every nation;
And when all those colors were blended well,
YOU BECAME MY GREATEST CREATION.

Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool
Such a humble, little creature is he.
I am the Shepherd who watches them.
I am the One who will watch over thee.

You are the color of midnight-sky,
I put the stars' glitter in your eyes.
There's a smile hidden behind your pain
That's the reason your cheeks are high.

You are the color of dark clouds formed
when I send My strongest weather.
I made your lips full so when you kiss
the one you love they will remember.

Your stature is strong; your bone structure, thick
to withstand the burdens of time.
The reflection you see in the mirror...
The Image looking back at you is MINE!

- RuNett Nia Ebo

Inspired by the book of Genesis 1:26a and 27a&c

And God said, Let us make man in Our image, after Our Likeness...So God created man in His own image...male and female created He them.
