Poems For Review › What If I Am A Black Woman? by Nutter(op): 1:24am On Jul 09, 2006

I came across this poem which honours our very dear Black Women. It highlights their long-suffering and indomitable will. We’ve all been influenced by these queens: grandmothers, mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, etc. Let’s celebrate our strong black women. Heaven knows they deserve it!

[b]What If I Am A Black Woman?

Is it a disease? Well, if it is, I sure hope it’s catching
Because they need to pour it into a bottle,
label it, and sprinkle it All over the people
men and women who Ever loved or cried,
worked or died For any one of us.

So, What if I am a Black woman?
Is it a crime? Arrest me!
Because I'm strong, but I'm gentle,
I'm smart, but I'm learning,
I'm loving, but I'm hateful.
And I like to work because
I like to eat and feed and clothe
and house Me, mine
and yours and everybody's,
Like I've been doing for the past 300 years.

What if I am a Black woman?
Is it insane? Commit me!!
Because I want Happiness, not tears;
Truths not lies; Pleasure not pain;
Sunshine not rain; A man not a child!

What if I am a Black woman? Is it a sin?
Pray for me! And pray for you too,
If you don't like women of color
because we are, Midnight Black,
Chestnut Brown, Honey Bronzed,
Chocolate Covered, Cocoa Dipped,
Big Lipped, Big Hipped, Big Breasted, and BEAUTIFUL
all at the same time!

So what if I am a Black Woman?
Does it bother you that much because
I want a man who wants me,
Loves me and trusts me, and respects me
And gives me everything because
I give him everything back, PLUS!!

What if I am a Black woman? I've got rights,
same as you! I have worked for them,
died for them, played and laid for them,
On every plantation from Alabama to Boston and Back!

What if I am a Black woman?
I love me, and I want you to love me too,
But I am as I've always been,
Near you, close to you, beside you,
strong giving, loving,
For over 300 years, Your Black woman, Love me! [/b]

Diddy,

On this issue, Davidylan is within his rights to complain. Does this thread not make more sense than many - I mean, really? Biko don't join in the name-calling. It's not necessary here. Biko!!

Meanwhile, how na? Got your IM request _{(you are clearly one of the people this thread was made for )} and have since added you. Wanted to chat last night but you were offline. Checked your profile and you were posing with 5 and 10 Dollar bills. Ah, ah?! Whatever happened to the Benjamins bruv? No dey shame me oh!

It's Friday night. Time to get my weekend on!

"If anyone is bearing the name XYZ, appologies to such an one. I have NEVER chatted with XYZ and used it only as a PSEUDONYM! It is not the first time ABC or XYZ has been used as a pseudonym." - Davidylan

I think this clears everything up. Further, Davidylan is within his rights to complain about what many see as a serious problem. Let the name-calling stop, please. It is unnecessary.

Chxta:
In the course of my life, I have never seen the truth in breaking up Naija. Naija has had its trying moments, but I believe that when there is life there is hope.

But isn't that the whole point though? Igbo lives are being taken all the time and there is no defence from any quarter. Wherefrom then shall we find hope?

Chxta:
The problem with you my dear friend is that you lacked courage to continue believing.

No. The 'problem' with me, my dear friend, is that my courage (unlike yours) is neither blind nor injudicious.

Chxta:
I really enjoy sparring with you, but I'll soon have to leave. U just called, she'll soon be through with work. Once that happens, off I go.

Same here, mate. You have a good weekend and stay out of trouble!

I take it that 'U' is your GF. How you managed to get a girl to actually like you is the biggest mystery of all.

Chxta:
I think 1967-70 supports me in the fact that NAIJA CAN'T BREAK UP.

Well, Nigeria actually broke up. All 1967-70 proves is that a break-up couldn’t be sustained - THEN.

Chxta:
Taking kunu without any restraint has about the same effect as taking akpu without restraint. Neither you nor I has exactly taken the other to the cleaners here. I have facts to back up my position (cold facts), you have facts to back up your position (some cold, some sentimental), which is why we have both failed woefully to convince the other.

Your facts (on the coup for instance), were not at all solid as I showed. You didn’t challenge those facts because you couldn’t. Moreover, my intention wasn’t to convince you or anyone else but to give an accurate depiction of events. What any chooses to do with the information provided is entirely up to them. If they choose to turn a blind eye, then sitting alone with their consciences will be adequate punishment – for now.

Chxta:
Definitely we would cross swords again. Maybe on something more mundane like the fact that I like neither Chelski, ManYoo nor Arse-anal, but we would defintely cross. . .

Gunners don’t care if you like Arsenal or not. We hate you back. At least we don't go around attempting to bribe our way through the Premiership. We are super confident in our ability - unlike JUVE. Bunch of slick-haired mama's boys who spend more time in the salon than in training. Hence, the fraud wink

Business › Re: NITEL Privatised: Bought By Transcorp by Nutter(m): 7:08pm On Jul 07, 2006

otokx:
@ Nutter; i did say that one Mr. Ibrahim Jimoh using a corporate outfit bought over NICON insurance. NICON-NOGA is owned by transcorp. I hope that point is taken.

No, Otokx. Your actual statement was:

"and then consider the young man that just single handedly bought NICON and is now trying to consolidate and buy out all the airlines?”

If you didn’t mean Nicon hotel, then apologies. However, your clarification does not absolve you of accrediting the purchase of NICON to a single individual. That was my point.

Chxta:

That would be referring to you I think. . . ?

"When you get a thing the way you want it, leave it alone." -- Sir Winston Churchill

In my book it means that if we got Naija the way we'd have wanted it, we should have run. . .

Chxta you are so predictable. I knew you'd say that! It doesn't refer to me because I, like many Igbo, believed in One Nigeria. We have since changed our minds.

Your book is out-of-date so the conclusions you draw from it are thus, inevitably, wrong.

"Men [like Chxta] occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened." - Sir Winston Churchill.

Chxta:
Sorry, we've already agreed on our points. I'm correct, you're correct (I think you're wrong, and 1967-70 supports me), so let's not banter. I don't have the energy to fill another 4 pages at the moment.

Not to put too fine a point on it but actually, 1967-1970 supports me. Let us agree to disagree.

On matters relating to energy, see what Kunu does to you when you consume it without self-imposed restraint? Moreover, you do not have four pages of unassailable facts!

Chxta:
We will argue again definitely, when the time comes.

Like death and taxes, this is also certain.

@Chxta,

Abati is an utter twit with boundless mischievous energy, ready (and clearly very willing) to peddle his snake oil to an unsuspecting world. You, my friend, appear to be one of his many unfortunate victims.

Also,

I’ve got to say that your return from - as you put it - ‘Sharialand’ seems to have filled you with impetus and clearly put a (some would say gay – not I though wink

) swagger in your NL stride. I am yet to determine if this imprudent confidence is as a result of relief at your ‘incident-free’ trip, or if you are currently propelled by a copious amount of consumed Kunu. Time shall tell, my Nigerian friend; time shall tell.

My guy no one has tried to paint a pretty picture of Nigeria. We all acknowledge that Nigeria is bad, what we are saying is that it can be fixed. And seccession is not the answer.

In your humble, incorrect opinion. What then is the answer? What does your crystal ball proffer?

Chxta:
How u dey? U and Edygirl hooked up yet?

I’m doing well, mate – hanging in there. Yourself?

On the other matter, a gentleman never tells. Haba!

@retro,

Oh right. Didn't know that. Don't think he did either. Not to hold brief for him (because he can do so well enough for himself), but I don't think he knew. The tone of his post: "And since when did someone start bearing XYZ or is that a name in your daddy's village?", tells me he may have been unaware of this.

Davidylan, I guess it's over to you.

I believe davidylan used ‘xyz’ in place of the true username of that particular individual.
