As a child growing up, I remember Black identity as a confused mixture of boundaries of acceptances and unfeigned expression. Perms for Black women, for example, were vogue unless she wanted to make a bold statement of black-pride by wearing an Afro or "corn-rows."

Lord, Lord - why did You make me Black?
Why did You make someone, The world want to hold back?
Black is the color of dirty clothes, And grimy hand and feet,
Black is the color of darkness, And tire-beaten streets.
Why give me thick lips, A broad nose and kinky hairs?
Why did You create me, To receive folks hateful stares?

The following are forecasts made in the late 1980's from some of the best astrologers and psychics in the world at that time. I felt that, now that we are living well into the 21st Century, it would be interesting to go back and read what those forecasts were and just how accurate or inaccurate they actually were or are.

With election 2004 infront of us, we are doomed to be bombarded with campaign ads, debates sightings of the candidates in small rural towns where they've never been nor will ever be seen again until they run for something else, babies being kissed, old ladies being hugged, a possible electoral dispute in the State of Florida again, etc. I, Stan-Joseph JENNINGShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01603847016089350749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559761.post-1058234960342541932003-07-14T19:09:00.000-07:002003-07-14T19:09:20.543-07:00TITLE: Is The Celebration Of Black History Month Really Important?
Given the choice, I opt not to celebrate Black History Month. Oh, it's not because I've gone "Uncle Tom" or am struggling with the notion of identifying myself with "the" culture. Rather, it has everything to do with what I've experienced and what I observe often within the black community.

I interviewed two Roman Catholic priests concerning the issue of Sodomy. I will keep both of their identities private; however, I harbor a great and deep respect for both men. One is very conservative and lives in Conneticut and I will identify him as Priest #2; the other is very liberal and lives in Australia and I will Stan-Joseph JENNINGShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01603847016089350749noreply@blogger.com
