At Door of Kush, we're very proud of Kam Williams's review of Kola Boof's autobiography on Euroweb this morning.

Well, you can't say that Kam is not objective. A very perceptive review which I'd give 3 stars. The only problem I had with it was that he referred to the color coded caste system as being a "taboo" subject. That says a little about his awareness. Color consciousness has never been a subject that blacks avoided discussing or exploring. The old saw about if you're white, you're all right; if you're yellow you're mellow; if you're brown, you stick around; if you black, you get back." has been a staple in the slave diaspora since the 1920s, - at least. Color-consciousness has always been an overt issue, a practice that has invariably been resented by the victims and flaunted by the victimizers. This is not a revelation.

I didn't mention Kola's name one time in my assessment of Kam's review, "brownbeauty". Nobody's more obsessesed with Kola than Kola.

Nafisa_Goma (Kola Klone) - Congratulations on the book review and thanks for posting your news in triplicate. We know that this event must be the highlight of your insipid existence, and so I am very excited for you. I truly hope it helps you hawk some of those lame-ass books of yours - Lord knows you need all the help you can muster.

Igbogirl, Who am I? I'm a nobody, just a critic who studiously tries to stay under the radar. I try to report the story, not make myself the story. This is the only blog where I've ever gotten involved in a dialogue, and don't envision every doing that again. Peace, Kam

Kam....stick around, it's fun! Post under an assumed identity, as so many people here are prone to be blamed of. Pick a name, ANY name....people will just think you're Kola Boof (regardless of what you say or any protests) and we'll all get a good laugh.

Yeah, Kam, add your feet to the fire. It's a mystical experience. And, not to worry about being mistaken for kola boof. You're much too objective and professional for that. And pay Renatata no mind; she's just pissed because she's too stupid to ever be mistaken for the crafty kola. :-)

That ain't baiting, dumb-dumb. That's out and out in your fat face. Lucky for you I find you too simple-minded to waste any more time on. So you can just continue to do what you do best;curse and babble.
