Hey peoples

I'm Yello, not self proclaimed but the name has stuck regardless. 36yrs young, London based and been scanning ya words for a couple of weeks now.
Feeling plenty of the poems, responses, debates and the occasional words of wisdom.

Hobbies: trying to make my Saxophone sound like an instrument instead of a sick Donkey (but then again plenty Brandy helps to do that), a little researching into world conspiracies or just generally learning about anything, this is one of the reasons I logon every day. Very refreshing to hear all from my Brothers and sisters prespectives Happy New Year to y'all

Signing out for now

Peace, love and respect.

Yello

 Hi to all at BN!

Currently cannot get enough - second night of looking, first to actually 'contribute'. Think that the site is great! Grad. Single mother. London town. In need of interesting conversation - continue to enlighten! One thing is for sure - you all are funny!!!

Nothing but peace & love to one and all.

Hi y'all. My name is Trini. In advance of the demise of that other MB thought I would poke my head round Blacknet's door for the first time and see what's going on.  Look's like things are warm and easy around here.  :cool: I am battling MB addiction at the moment so may not post THAT much but will be around.  As Brother Kunjufu (who knows me of old) will testify I am the shy , retiring type who wouldn't say boo to a goose so I hope you will all go easy on me.

One Love.

Trini

Although I have already been posting comments, I have just realised that I havn't officially introduced myself (how rude of me.) Anyway I am a 28 yr old female. Living in London with my hubby and our 6 yr old daughter. I am currently employed as a Crown Court Clerk, I say currently because I'm seriously considering a career change. I will son be starting an Open University Course in Social Policy so i'm hoping that this discussion forum will be beneficial in getting my rusty old mind working. I enjoy sketching, painting and in fact most things arty. I am an avid reader and enjoy discussing and debating. With that said, I look forward to exchanging thoughts in the forums.

Hi everyone,

I am Britsh Born West Indian :), interested in meeting others with similar backgrounds for discussion and conversations.  I am very passionate about my music (Soca to be prescise but not exclusively) and would love to chat with anyone who has the same/ similar interest.

I feel as a race we are losing touch with each other, something that other races (white and asian) seem not to do.   :(
If you want to know more about me or my opinions just ask.

EAZY y'all. I am a 19yr old white male who has grown up in a black community. I have a black step father, mixed race fiancee, 3 black uncles and 6 mixed race cousins so therefore have a good understanding of the black culture too. I have grown up hangin out wit black people all my life. I am like Eminem in some respects, BUT I know i am white. I dont talk, act or think I am black in any way, shape or form. 

 Anyway, look forward to having some meaningful and serious dorum discussions.

Hey All,  this is Angel of Harlem, 36 yrs old and married to a wonderful man.  I am unfortunately a little bit of a on again off again, reader and poster.  I discovered this site as I was doing some research on Black Leaders of America (USA, originally 30 + years in N.Y.....now in the deep South......) 

I really love all the opionions and viewpoints and I feel like I will learn much from everyone.  I also love the diversification in our backgrounds & our viewpoints, that will keep me interested.  I currently work at a University and I am enrolled in a Doctorate program that begins full time for me Fall 2004 (and this by no means, makes me grammer smart........:)  :D

I do keep quite busy.  I hope to keep up with this site at the very least during my next few years of study........please forgive me if I disappear for a while. 

I am a former Jazz musician so, hence the Billy Holiday name/Harlem reference as taken from the band U2.

God Bless All - Angel
