When I couldn't speak English, I loved silent films circa 1914-1929, Abel Gance being my favorite director.
Kola BoofEven though I couldn't speak English, there were many times that my black-American parents could read my mind and I could read theirs.
Kola BoofOne of my brothers in my adopted family converted to Islam and I love him with all my heart. I have Muslim women who understand my pain and they give me lots of love and support. But what Black Americans never think about is that the African version of Islam is totally different from American Islam. They've never seen mothers doused in gasoline and set on fire for โreligious' reasons. So they don't know what I'm talking about.
Kola BoofI'm an African woman, I suppose these thoughts torture me more than they do black American people, because it's like watching my own children trapped in a car that's sinking to the bottom of a lake and being impotent to save them'the black Americans have their own holocaust going on. You see the black man erasing black children from the landscape, you see black women desperately trying to get the black man's attention by wearing blonde hair and fake blue eyes, 500 years after he sold her and their children across the ocean.
