Hi yourself Serena !!!!
Sorry I haven't called.
Fact is, I can't at this time.
Drop me an email and I'll fill you in.
It's great to see you...I love you, kid
thouuuugh I hope you could be less harsh
with MOON.
I had a dream about your Mom last month; a
happy dream--hope she's well.
I am BACK, but only occasionally as time
permits.
Though so many at AALBC.COM hate me with a
passion--there are many others who love me and
this really is a "Home Base" for me whether
I like it or not.
I hope others will come back, too.
Thanks for being so kind and loyal.
I can't believe after all this time (and
how you feel about MOST people here), you're still hanging around here waiting to see
if I come back!!!!
Awe....
You're the BEST, SerenaSailor---I
consider you family.
Chat soon, Prince.

Kola continues to convince herself that people on this board are wasting their energy on hating her. Guess this makes her feel important. ho-hum. |

Cynique,
When people spread lies about my
sexuality, knowing it will
help keep me from feeding my children
--I call that HATE.
When people campaign against my
work being published, because they
don't have the charisma, talent or
originality that I have and can't
get booked on national TV like I
can--I call that HATE.
When people...aware that you're in
the hospital being treated for 'cancer'
send out an email saying "GOOD" and
telling people not to go visit you
--I call that HATE.
When I had my reading at the Schomburg
Center and GROWN ASS PROFESSIONAL WOMEN
like Urban Scribe came up in here
(before I was anywhere in sight) and LIED
and claimed that I didn't have a reading
and every other hateful thing that was
posted about me (including by Queen
HamsterHead herself)---I call that
HATE.
Though I have argued bitterly with
people on this board over "issues"
we discussed--I have never done
anything to or against anyone on
this board.
EVER.
As much as Urban just can't see any
redeeming value in me as a person, I
actually like and respect her. And
now that I've actually seen her, I
think she's HOT.
It is well known that THUMPER hates me
with a passion (he's stated it many times
and so has TROY admitted it)---but ask Kam Williams about all the great things I've said
about Thumper as a "book reviewer."
This was in 2007. And I said those things...because guess what?
I don't know Thumper and he doesn't know me.
All I know is that I always liked his reviews
and was always "shocked" by the volume
of hatred he directed at me.
Of course, I've ripped him to the bone
on this board...but that was AFTER I
was so viciously attacked first.
What people Hate me for is that I "WIN"
most of my battles and cuss-outs.
When I state a belief or an opinion;
I've usually thought it over FOR YEARS
and thus my argument is more passionate
and biting--and better written--than the
other person's.
So people HATE you for that.
Look at Mari Walker (A_Womon).
I have never WISHED "a_womon" ill will
and failure as she so passionately
and vocally wished on me.
And WHY would she do that?
What did I ever do to her?
Nothing whatsoever.
LAMBD's preference for me and his
statement that he "loves me" and
that I'm his all-time favorite female
author are strictly as a READER.
When he acted as my bodyguard for those
events--and when he traveled all the
way to NY to see me sing at the
Schomburg--that was because he's a fan.
It is not a rejection of A_Womon.
And btw, I read "Never As Good As the
First Time" and I thought it was wonderful
considering what type of novel it is.
Because I knew her back when she first
started saying she was "playing around"
with writing something--
I was really proud to see her book on the ESSENCE Bestseller chart and I felt as though
I was sharing in her dream. In my heart I said, "That's my girl--you go!" I even
showed her book to other women in my hospital
room.
I shot LAMBD a note saying "Our girl is up there!"
But I can't say that to her. We're
supposed to be blood enemies (not that I
ever knew why).
Cynique,
Anyone who asked for my support
or asked me to help them--I did it,
because everyone here is "me."
There are MANY people on aalbc.com
(both posters and lurkers) who LOVE me
and have made that clear.
I said that.
In fact, I would not have come back
if I didn't have supporters and people
writing to me that the board was 'dead'
and they wished I would drop in.
So no Cynique, it's not about me needing
to feel "Important".
People like Joe Madison, Derrick Bell,
Etta James and Francis Bok DO make me
feel important every day.
There most certainly ARE Haters of Kola
here and they have actually gone as far as
to perpetuate lies and worked to hurt my life, and as a consequence, my ability to care for my children.
A recurring comment is that I'm "not
one of them", I'm a disrespectful African
--blah blah blah.
People like "Urban Scribe" and Queen
Hamster-Head can't stop me...but they, and
others, usually frightened White people,
have worked to slow me down.
What they forgot though is that there is
A GOD and that people like me are rare
and SENT...
I am a WRITER.
I have a gift for language use and for
"moving" people.
I also have the courage to say things
that many others "think" but are not
willing to say aloud...
I am also an interesting person.
No matter who here is against me
...GOD has touched on me to be heard.
Eventually that will happen in a
very big way.
This board is a "Pub" or a "Bar"
where I come to let my hair down
and chit-chat with family, friends
and "flies on the wall".
It is true that I need attention,
but I also give attention to exceed
more than I get.
I am not the villainous of this
soap.
I am a very sensitive, loving, articulate
African-identified and Woman-identified
WRITER and Critical Thinker.

Cynique,
I didn't say that YOU hate me.
In fact, I don't think that at all
anymore.
Girl, you are too crazy. LOL!

For the record Kola, I think you took the name calling exchanges we had on this board WAAAAAAAAAAAY too seriously. It was blowing off steam, in an anonymous way. Did we get carried away sometimes? Absolutely. Was it meant to be carried around like a lifetime wound? Not by me. I don't know you outside of this board, so how can I hate you??
I will say that I saw your thing on You tube and I must say that I thought you had a very nice speaking voice, were very articulate attractive and I enjoyed what you had to say for the most part. I remember thinking if Kola showed this side of her more, maybe more people would understand the real her.
So no I don't HATE you. I have no reason to hate anyone on this board. So please quit including me in your list of haters. |

A_Womon, thanks
GIRL...you are the BOMB!!!
I loved your book!
I even wrote Monique Patterson
and told her so.
CAN'T WAIT for your next one.
It feels so good to be able to tell
you myself.
I'm so proud of you, A_Womon.
Forgive me for throwing your real
name around---that was just insurance
in case you came with the knife.
LOL!!!!

A_womon, my very closest girlfriend
from "Teen days" was a beautiful
mixed-race (Black/Italian) girl
who had the whole world in front of
her unti her man gave her AIDS.
She got on crack (at which point
there was nothing I could do) and
eventually died.
This is why I was very moved by the
realism of your story.
But the use of urban folk language
was the big knock-out punch.
In some parts even poetic.
I actuallly felt like I was IN a
lot of the scenes and the way they
were talking was just so
---well, hell, authentic.
I can't write "street slang" that
naturally. I'm good with it, but not
that good.
Anyone who reads "Never As Good As
the First Time" will see what I'm
raving about.
ALSO--the book cover was pitch perfect.
Did Troy give you the name "Samai"?
I kept thinking of his friend Samia.
Good to read an "urban street" novel
that actually is SAYING SOMETHING for
a change.
I usually don't care for those books.
And you hit the ESSENCE BESTSELLER LIST
---
I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!
Like I said...I can't wait for your
next one.

As much as Urban just can't see any
redeeming value in me as a person...
I've never made any such statement. Who the hell am I to judge you?
People like "Urban Scribe" and Queen
Hamster-Head can't stop me...but they, and
others, usually frightened White people,
have worked to slow me down.
I've never made any attempts to stop you, nor do I have the power to do so. You've given me waaay too much credit, Kola.
Thanks for thinking I'm hot, though. You've must have seen an old photo. At my age, I'm barely lukewarm.
My youngest cousin just turned 30 a couple weeks ago. I can't believe this girl is 30 - I used to change her diapers and do her hair. Anyhowway, I attended the big b-day bash she threw for herself. It was great fun, but there's nothing like a bunch of 25-30 girls, dropping it like it's hot, with their firm breasts and firm behinds and line-less faces, weave flying everywhere, to remind me that my ass is getting old. I mean, these girls were dancing up a storm - three songs straight. Halfway through one song, I had to sit my old ass down to catch my breath. I quickly became a passive observer, smiling, reminiscing about the good ol' days when none of those girls could've held my thunder. Bless their hearts... The party wrapped up around 5 AM, ending with everyone shout-rapping to Jay-Z's "My President is Black". Bless their hearts...
Nice to see you around these parts again, Kola. I really mean that. |

Urban_scribe, thanks.
I've always loved reading your posts
(because you're so analytical and
detail oriented; plus honest).
I wish we hadn't first met in a
"gang jump" on this board--
because when I'm not reacting out of
illicit rage, I really pretty much
love my fellow sisters.
It's great to see you.
AND NO--it wasn't an old photo.
Those of us with "real eyes" can always
see natural fire, girlfriend.
You'll always have that natural fire.
And it aint about looks, to be honest.

LMFAO! Interestingly enough, Mari "resides" in Ohio, and "A_womon" did tell me to come to Ohio so she could "kick my ass" or "slap me", something real foolish like that. Nonetheless, if true, I could cry from laughter! |

Come on Moonsign, please don't bring that up in here. I've noticed that most are trying to move away from mess. We've all been somewhere ...really. And, for some, we ain't trying to go back there.
I've noticed over the years that people have taken shots at you. But sometimes someone has to be the bigger person.
I am not saying that I've not been involved in mess, I'll raise my hand but I am more conscience of the overall harm that it causes.
Lets see if we can turn a page? |

I love you, MOON...
...but CAREY just said it
for all of us.
And he especially said it for me.
I don't like the "negative part"
of myself and I'm trying to get
rid of it, because it made me
physically ill and threatened my
life.
I would like to train myself to
LOVE people more.
I can honestly say that other
than "Nuuon" who has posted outrageous
documentaries attacking me, I have sincere
"liking" for everybody here.

Ooooooh, Jeeze. This board is turning into a psychiatrist's couch, complete with a care giver who wants everybody to hold hands and exude peace and love and above all, refrain from saying anything that might make others swallow back tears. And of course needling folks is now a prickly issue. We are all obligated to be one big dyfunctional but happy family. Scuse me while my brain takes an insulin shot to combat all of the artificial sweetening turning black coffee into syrup.
This is a discussion board not a rehab center for maudlin role players who live vicariously through the faux drama that plays out here.
Where's Chrishayden when we need him? |

Hello
There's snide, needle, joke, pick at, hint at, strong debate, disagreement, cynical, etc.
THEN THERE'S STAB, INSULT, DEGRADE, CUSS OUT, DEFAME, etc, ...it's surely a choice. |

Thank you Ms.Cynique. You are absolutely correct. This is not a cyber psyche clinic or feel good expo for those seeking confirmation, approval or validation. People should be free to express their opinions and positions without hysterical personal attacks and being subjected to the fraudulent screeching "I be blacker than you is" race card. |

Carey,
Your (convenient) change of heart would be real sweet if it weren't so self-serving.
All who lurk & post should know by now I couldn't care less about people "taking shots" (as you said) at me. Seriously, people need to get a grip.
I'm here because I enjoy reading through the profiles of the many authors featured on AALBC, the book recommendations/selections, as well as the witty, and often insightful & intelligent, "chat" on the forums. I surely think that SOME of the people that post here SEEM to have incredibly interesting personalities - people who share many common interests. However, truth is, chances are higher than not that I'll NEVER meet one person (here) outside of cyberspace - nor do I care to pursue it.
I can certainly be nice to everyone, which, for the most part, I am; but I'm not here to make friends either. |
