Wow. Thank you for sharing. I had never heard of her, but I enjoyed her website so I just ordered two of her books from Amazon. Nile River Woman and Long Train to the Redeeming Sin. I can't wait to receive them.

I definitely empathize with Kola and as a Black woman myself I understand her sorrow and rage. However I believe that White women are on a pedestal because their men, White men put them there. She's angry because throughout history most White women supported their men in the murder, rape, and degradation of our people. Today they still support them by pretending that the playing field is "equal" and we need to "pull" ourselves up by our bootstraps:rolleyes: (I absolutely HATE that saying)!
However, I do not believe people have to be a slave to what society says that they are.
I mean I live in a society that encourages my own son to be prejudiced against me--to covet whiteness to bring him comfort.
White women are not slaves to White supremacy either. They feel comfortable with it because it's not their dignity, economics, or children's future on the cutting block.
I believe that most people in this world, Black, White, or whatever are extremely selfish and only care about ultimately about themselves.

"Black men are as dissapointing as GOD", Why has that same thought been on my mind all week. :icon_headshake:
She is a very strong passionate woman, I can't believe she knew Bin Laden (Callin somebody else as infidel when he was slithering around).
What she said about Farrakhan shocked me to a point, I need to get her books.Brutally Honest

Kola is a dear friend of mine and a very sweet, honest and fierce woman. I did an interview with her around 2 years ago and was knocked out and amazed by her. She is a wonderful mother and deeply, deeply cares for all her peeps in the diaspora. We don't see eye to eye on some issues, but she cared enough about my feelings to clarify what she means. If you haven't already check out her books!!! Support this sister!

Scathing! :shocker: I love it!
Then they wonder why Black women, who are not only made invisible in this culture, but are betrayed by the very Black men they've protected and stood up for all these centuries--are so angry. Black women are angry because they have every right to be angry. And what goes around...will come around.

Girrrrrrlllllll!!!!!!!
I was gonna post exactly what you said. I had to leave the IT for other obligations.....But I did listen to her 50-minute interview on the web. Very few things that I disagree with (although there are some points). The majority of what she said I definitely agree with.
I love intelligent fearless Sistas. She's rare because....It's rare in gerneral when African children are adopted by Black American parents. In her interview on her website, she's thankful and gives praise to the fact that she was adopted by Black Americans instead of White ones.
Attending an HBCU and being a Black Psych. Major.......I know what she's talking about. Adoption of Black American children by White parents/people was a very heated discussion in one of my classes, for the entire semester.
Kola Boof needs to be a part of the NP family, if she's not already Being a mere lurker is fine by me!
