Black matter and black ...95% the universe is black. Black matter and black force are holding the universe as it is. The centre of the sun is black. Black is the beginning and the end. <BR/><BR/>If you are talking about the human skin colour? The black skin is the most quality, beauty and healthy skin by far. 99% all living things including human have Bruin/dark eyes and black hair colour. Predators/killers such as Lions, Cheetahs, Tigers, Leopards, Wolves and the likes have other than bruin/dark eyes colour. <BR/><BR/>Anything bad about having black/brown skin, eyes and hair colour is not decided by nature but intentionally created by jealous individuals to escape from their natural defects such as with lack of the sun which is centre of the solar system. <BR/><BR/>Read about the Greek philosophers, writers, singers, politicians and the ordinary people emotional love and admiration about the Ethiopian women beauty 2000 years a go. The bad things about being black are created by western Europeans to colonise and enslave the Africans. They cannot colonise and enslave anyone while saying you are beautiful, wise, strong, better than me and the likes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-72896728067605583692009-04-10T07:52:00.000-04:002009-04-10T07:52:00.000-04:00I love this poem....Can I borrow it for my blog?th...I love this poem....Can I borrow it for my blog?<BR/><BR/>this is so nice!!!<BR/><BR/><BR/>I read this before I think it was during black Hx month<BR/><BR/><BR/>CelesteBennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327428569211809420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-45373999940446572682009-04-10T01:34:00.000-04:002009-04-10T01:34:00.000-04:00I received this poem several years ago and I LOVE ...I received this poem several years ago and I LOVE IT!

My husband and I run into this when discussing my son. My husband has all this wisdom from all his personal internal growth that really didn't start for me until about 6 years ago when Quinn was born. Reading through the first part I just kept thinking "because you were made in the image of God." Also, the photo really brought up emotions in me too. <BR/><BR/>I am glad you posted it. One for the fact that others liked it and two because I don't have to like something to learn from it.knhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612658633007520397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-73400150966349765002009-04-09T18:06:00.000-04:002009-04-09T18:06:00.000-04:00Hey Kristine-The poem isn't meant to focus on whit...Hey Kristine-<BR/><BR/>The poem isn't meant to focus on white, if you see it also talks about how blacks mistreat each other because of the color of their skin. As a black person, I can relate to this poem having felt many of the things in this poem yet I never really realized that I was created this way for a reason for a purpose...this poem simply says those things. Yes, there are some racial undertones but c'est la vie and we can't escape that. Therefore, the poem says, to me, no matter what you encounter (because you will) you are who you are for a reason, be strong, be proud.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098095150932626218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-37417782655968056312009-04-09T17:08:00.000-04:002009-04-09T17:08:00.000-04:00Tami-Ugh.

I guess the reason I don't like it is because the beginning seems to assume that the majority of people in the world are white and feel all of those things. When in fact that majority of the world is not white and I don't know about the majority of the white world but the majority of the white people in my circle don't. <BR/><BR/>But I do like that you posted it and I get to read the comments and find out I'm in the minority here.knhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01612658633007520397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743328224750449132.post-45657172689470982142009-04-09T06:12:00.000-04:002009-04-09T06:12:00.000-04:00Kelli-I did not write it, the author is unknown.
