whatup fellow brothas and sistahs,

I be noticing that this board is slowly acquiring more folk of the african american persuasion such as myself.

So I was thinkin I should be startin a society like FUBU, called African American Eastern Christians.

Of course I don't want to be the sole member. So gimme a big fat G if you be interested in joining and lets help bring african americans(and others) to the church of God.

People be sending me emails thinkin I'm white and all that, but I'm not. I am proud to be an African American.

So for those African Americans out there...
Say it LOUD, I'm BLACK and I'm PROUD!!

Almost 80% of the faithful of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria, are black africans.

I think that Patriarch Peter should consacrate a Bishop for North America. There's a parish in Cuba and it's part of Patriarchate

Might as well. Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, now Jerusalem: the only ancient patriarchate without representation here is Alexandria...oh wait, the Copts...never mind.

Well, I guess there's always room for one more...

Brings to mind the white catholic kids that use to walk in a group behind me and perhaps another black friend of mine in high school as classes were changing.

Interesting thing about most men is that there bravery tends to result from either there percieved superior size or the number their in. Rare is it to find a man that will face off against other men in superior numbers or even something as simple as talking trash mano-to-mano. The Internet has even been cause for greater bravery - or more exact - pretended bravery.

I don't recall any black person posting on this forum with the slue of slang and the "be this" "be that" that the person under the handle of the top post did. So if it is silly to talk that way, at least in formal forums, then it would seem to me that the silly person is the top poster above, not the black people on this forum.


P.S. - at least regarding racism, because of my early encounters with it, standing alone on the school playground while the black kids and white kids in their respective groups played, I can guarantee you that in a room alone I'll crack you before you crack me.

Hey Ca$hmoney,
Can you please clarify what you mean when you say that people send you e-mails thinking that you are white? Did they write you and say "Cashy my whitey you coming to mass this Sunday?"

Now *THAT BE* funny! smile

I have a theory that people like "Ca$hmoney" suffer from small penis complex. Either that or some black woman made fun of his sexual performance at onetime. The yawn can be very destructive to the male ego.
