THANKING YOU  IN ADVANCE,

This is a mirror for black folk,this is a way for them to see themselve’s as this sick society see’s them.  I actually enjoy veiwing the material and i do find some of sad the humor can be refreshing.  I myself being a black man from bklyn ny now living in the atl grew up in the ghettoes of nyc during the 60’s,70’s,80’s i pulled out after school, so come on black people take advantage of this country’s free education system and please educate your children so they don’t grow to admire some of the clowns and crabs on this site.

You are a brave individual and I can only imagine the hate mail you get every day. Your statement on the homepage is something I have been saying for years and for years my friends (white and black) have called me a bigot and a racist. I’m a white guy who has lived in black neighborhoods and always wondered why - if the black community hates the stereotypes - do they perpetuate them and why don’t the community leaders come out and try and change such behavior? For once I’d like to see Al Sharpton march against littering or wearing your sweat pants BELOW your buttocks. The Million Man March was a start, but what’s happened since? Where’s the follow through? Bill Cosby started speaking up last year and was immediately derided by his own people.We’ve had 40 years of patronizing social programs and still the ignorance and the poverty and the paralyzing behavior continues. Government can’t help. You look at Chinese immigrants, who start with the crappy poker hand of not knowing English, not having citizenship and working 80 hours a week in many cases and by the second generation their kids are valedictorian of their class at Harvard. On the second deal they’re holding a straight flush, ace high. Chinese parents teach one lesson: education is the key to advancement. I haven’t heard this message from any black leader since James Brown sang “Don’t Be a Dropout” (we’ll miss you, JB).

So, if there’s one thing I would add to your site, it would be a form for letters and emails imploring black congressional and community leaders to come together and promote self improvement. To have a single voice and a clear message. Berate them for not creating programs on starting a small business, how to become a homeowner, the importance of a two parent family, how crucial education is to future earnings, etc. The message and the change MUST come from within the black community and MUST have a single voice, becase we saw what happend to ‘Cos when a single man or woman has had enough and starts blowing the whistle. The Japanese have a saying: “the nail that sticks up gets hammered down”. Unity is the key.

I wish you all the best on your mission and your remarks about helping others has struck a chord. You got me thinking and self examining. Thanks.

Hello I just found your website and i find it interesting and i like the work you are doing, but I have a question, are you a racist??? I only ask because most pictures where there are interracial couples are labeled a “hot ghetto mess” and i do not agree ( aside from coco and ice t). Is it just because they’re an interracial couple???? ei. the Halle Berry pic with that guy from New kids on the block, I mean its just a picture!!!ps. Im a Black Latina!!!!!

i dont know you and i know you dont know me but who r u to put images of other people whom you dont know and talk about them some things are ment to be left alone and so really you have no right cuz if da shoe was on da other foot you would be pissed off but its all good cuz what goes around comes around. thanks 4 nothing some people will do anything to have a life and o yea this aint my email so dont write back thanks goodbye

In the words of Miss Sophia (The Color Purple):

“I was feeling mighty low…and then I seent you. Now I know’d there is a God!”I’m kind of embarassed that I’m actually drawn to your site. It’s almost a guilty pleasure (in a sick and twisted way! LMAO!)

But I have to give credit where it is due. This is an excellent idea!

You’re forcing us think about who we really are and how far this society has driven us away from the beauty that is…

The Blackness.

Congrats to the entire staff for getting this together!!!

Excellent Concept!
