Thanks for your opinion Usmati and thank you for loving my art however, i respectfully disagree with your opinion i guess because i come from a country where we look at the quality and character of a person not their skin color and that'S what this art piece was about However , i also create my art to provoke conversation and thought and this piece as just done that thank you

you draw yourself to some extent in these pictures. pictures. its ALL about content of character and qualities, but you obviously seek white men. Your art greatly represents your mind and your want for WHITE man. so race seems to be quite a theme with you.

As i said before that's your opinion Your entitled to one However, your opinion doesn't give you the right to judge what i do or say Who i date or ?who i like ? or how i view the world? or what theme ? i choose to talk about in my art doesn't define or begin to describe who i am as a person Its a fraction of who i am Human beings are complex and we can't know an individual by snippets of what they do say or create unless you know me full you can't know me and i really fail to see why ? my choice of art has sparked such a reaction from you But as i stated before my art is meant to provoke and i guess its provoking thanks for letting my art do what its meant to do

wait a minute, we post artwork look at and share our views on it and indeed can tell something about the person, something not all. like fantasizing about white men. Everyone judges, it's a subconscious action, but there's a lot to be said for discretion of letting the other person know what you think of them. I wanted to speak my mind and I do have a right to do that, and even though you like white men I still dont know you. You liking them is also a still fraction of as you say. Im not going to pretend to know you, and nor do i need to know you to see that. I Never said that any one aspect of a person defines the whole person. Im finished here. i dont wish to engage in this conversation anymore, obviously we are not getting anywhere with this as we are very strong in how we feel, but regardless of that i hope you wake up to the reality. best of luck.

In america 75% of ir marriages are with a BM, while 70% of BW are unmarried, does that sound like love is blind and better quality of character or are they just brainwashed? those numbers almost match. Anyway while Character and quality is very important, we alot of the times dont look for these qualities in each other as we would with people of other races and/or those qualities dont blossom between bm and bw because psychologically we do not have that mutual love and respect for each other as much as other races do for each other. THATS A PROBLEM. For too many of us its about sex and breeding, its slave psychology. So it never reaches the level of quality of character much of the time because the connection that BLACK WOMEN AND MEN should naturally have isnt there, this imbalance that we have is self destructive to our people as it is a product of white supremacy, not inherent. So whether or not you choose to see race, we are still a stand alone and stand out because of the way we are to each other, theres a clear line to be drawn between blacks and others because we are the only people on the planet to not have grasped the true meaning of freedom and independence because we love filling the place that the white man has created for us, only thinking in the white mans box and nothing else, just like slaves. we still arent a self sufficient people. What you call my opinion is part of a formula for any people to become a united nation of people, esp after being broken some way or form. That bond of love is more prominent with other races and not enough between bw & bm. This is why I look at race and quality, because i want to be a shining example to black people that love can exists between black men and women. With her, raise our children to be better black people who aspire to do good things outside of the white man's box and 1st for the cause. I know that with my powerful mind that i will attract what im looking for. i want a black woman with all the great qualities and that is what i will get. That would be one of the best themes that blacks could ever see, and NOT this theme you have here, when blacks have not even graduated to the level of mutual love and respect, like most of the other peoples have.

Again you speak about America its not so in Uganda or East Africa for that matterI have nothing against black women or black men loving each other Both my parents are black, i was raised in a household where we looked beyond, color, race, tribe and religion. I guess because both my parents are from different culture, tribes, and societies. We were taught to look for character God created different races and commanded them be fruitful and multiply As for your definition of freedom it varies, from culture to culture, society to society and from Tribe to tribe we can't define any one's freedom as the right form of freedom. God created man with free will what works for one society doesn't necessary work for another. i view humanity in two categories bad people and good people nothing more than this it transcends race, culture, society or country simply

and seeing that all of your romance art is the same theme, and no black men, it appears that its not strictly about content of character now is it? just some fantasy with white men. sexual drawings between white men and black women. nothing to do with character. so i guess black men cant have great character.

those are the words of the stories told here. I can interpret what I see, but there is an actual picture here, again with a theme that is still detrimental to a people who are prematurely integrating with others when they are failing to build families amoung their own. They are all pictures of the same thing and tell the same damn story. As a black person i would think that with our psychology, you'd understand how we would interpret it. Its no different from all the white washing themes you see on tv or what ever. that is what is seen regardless of your intent. in this day in time that is how many atleast those who are awake will see it. good bye

I am talking about america as well a blacks all over, as we all are effected by this nonsense, Africa is an exemplar of that as well. Culture, Religion does not transcend the reality. A reality that is poisoned by bad people, which trickles down. Freedom varies eh? You don't even control your continent and I guess since their not in chains? Your free and indepen right? yeah, freedom in the box the white man has created for you. That's sad because as you say, we have different definitions of freedom. Whatever the persons definition is, its obvious most of Africa is being abused. Its silly that you would even say something like that here.

It may be okay that you see it as only good or bad people, but the world doesn't, your living in a world where peoples competence & content of character isn't considered a lot of the time. People are hated because of their race and because we haven't adapted, suffer and produce less good in this world. It is a conflicted world regardless of how you feel about it. Good or bad people eh? I believe alot of those controlling forces on the planet are bad and can keep people from blossoming into good people. Like all the bad politicians and
others who govern Africa and its people have changed because of it. Their decisions are changing our reality which transcends pretty much everything else. good people bad people? We are still under the influence of people who want the worst for us and its effecting us
whether its in the USA or Africa, wherever. White nation is more so in their prime, we aren't, yet this is what they do with their positions of power and authority to help perpetuate their cause, and I trust your know where that leads too. so its not that simple. so its in our best interest to start growing up, and helping our people find the good in them. Otherwise, this passive attitude of whether people are good or bad people will only continue our cycle of niggardliness.

Have you ever stepped on African soil to make this assumption and conclusion? i can make a statement about America because i have lived both here and in Africa I always tell people my experience the first time i came to America is to realize that I was black skinned and apparently it mattered. When i was in Africa all that mattered was i was African we come in varies, colors, races, traditions, and religions I had friends from all races and works of life i walked the streets all i saw was harmony of race, tribes , culture and religion ) Africa has n never been a continent for only black people its saddens me that a lot of African Americans believe that it is and was in ancient times. Its only in America that blacks identify themselves as African America. African period, Or if they are from a particular country as a citizen of that country with out the addition of African Ugandan, Indian Ugandan etc We see no need for that distinction because we know who we are and what we are simply So i ask you who is more free? and who is stuck in a cycle of regret and living in past that can be corrected. AS a quote i ready once said "the only way to get over the past is to live in the present." i choose to to do better and to live in the present and sorry if that makes you uncomfortable or angry or irritated

wow. I don't live in the past, I live in the Present and my mind is in the present as well.
However, it is important to remember the past so that we do not make the same mistakes
today, that we made yesterday. The same reoccuring themes of the past and because of the
past because of our failure to do something about out, it effects our lives and negatively.
Quite frankly, most of us still live in the past, just look at our psychology.
Understanding that psychology
as i said several times before, we are all human beings, but because of our failures to
learn from the past we will always stick out like a sore thumb.
Gosh do i really need to personally visit the carribean to know that its got tropical
climate and that tropical fruit grows there or know their demographics? No I dont, same
goes for Africa. theres so much going on in the world today you have to be living under a
rock to not know whats going on over there, and obviously all of africa is not like that,
but its more than enough, the racial barriers, the hate is prominent. for what im talking about, i dont need to be there to know about all the ethnic cleansing, discrimination, the skin bleaching, the tribal wars, the gang wars, the rape, the raping of babies the aids the seeding of th clouds ect. Its really not hard, its no secret. Here we go again. you say it saddens you that alot of african
americans believe africa is a continent is for black people. The first concern is that the natives do not control their own land, they dont control it because in the past its was taken from them. THE PAST effects the present that is what im talkn about. Whats Truly very sad is that Africa has been colonized robbed and abused and on
until this day, they cannot control their own continent and resources, their native land is
taken from them because we have fallen below the level of humanity. We have lost control of
our continent because weve been wronged and fooled. THAT IS SAD. So AGAIN, the reality is that their is a distinction because we
are lagging behind in almost all the demographics and the sad truth that we cannot control our own continent because of our lack of competence for humanity and because of the PAST which is a MASSIVE effect on the present. SO no, i didnt assume, theres waay too much to
know about africa its no secret. Sure its a planet for us to share. too bad the nations
outside o africa like the french, the british and many others dont seem to understand
that. so obviously its not all about black inhabitants. Im explaining again to you again
Whats sad is that there is people who cannot see this and is exactly how we got this way to
begin with. Ive got several african friends that are conscious to the reality of africa. And
i think between them and the information out there is more than sufficient, whether its
politics, social structure demographics, culture, racism. Your blindlness to that is what bothers me. Beyond your interpretations and views, that is the truth, its not hate its truth, from whatim saying the emotion is what follows Anyway, Im done here. Im wasting my time here and good luck to you

As you said this conversation is going no where we will agree to disagree and you have your opinion i have mine since i am from Africa and live there and travel there and have lived there i speak as an African with the knowledge of what my continent's weakness and strengths struggles and victories are going to be and have been I still see no relevance in this conversation about Africa or, my art or my person or outlook of life Have a great day and please stop crowding my wall
