Black American culture???????

Explain please!!

I can’t explain black America, because it is in the spirit. I was raised in a all black area of where I come from, and I use to think WOW we are here, but we are so close to Africa, and we were, but when I landed in America, and I tuned in the radio, now there were many, many many radio stations, and I would listen to a little bit and then go on to the next station, and finaally I came upon the black radio station, now in that time it was the black radio station, and I listened and I said this is my radio station, they were playing Aretha, the Temps, Supremes, Martha Reeves, Junior Walker, and so on and even on the coldest of days I could feel that black American culture coming through that radio station, the vitality, the excitment. I thought I was in heaven, after years of hearing, Lord Canary and Lord Kitchner and Might Sparrow, I just thought WOW listen to this new music. This is just an example, but black American is mixed in with the white culture, I have seen many examples. Anyway, I think the greatest people on earth are Black Americans.

Adrian Hinds,

Rihanna Barbados Still Loves You

Rags to riches, a great fantasy
Island girl is now a big Celebrity
Her stardom extends to many shores
And her skills have opened many doors
Never did we have such a superstar
No one before her or since, has gotten as far
And though we usher her to entertainment slaughter
Bajans want even greater successes for their first daughter
Awards a plenty and contracts to match
Riveting performances and greatness to attach
“Barbados I love you” she said receiving her Grammy
And Barbados loves you too Robyn Rihanna Fenty
Def Jam has done great work promoting our girl
Our thanks to them for polishing our pearl
She was held in our grips until she was ready
Sent off on her own to pursue her celebrity
This is her dream realized and we all share in it
It is an incredible journey that requires a brave habit
Life in the spotlight requires unmatchable finesse
Learning to walk a tight rope and showing no stress
Limelight is like climbing a greased pole
Over a bed of burning coal
Violence is but one of the dangers she’ll meet
Exposure to drugs, money and relationships that cheat
So we Bajans have been armed to do our part
You Rihanna will always hold a place in our heart
Our thoughts are with you and we trust what you do
Use your judgment cause Rihanna Barbados Still Loves You!

An Acrostic Poem fron The Bajan Poetry Society

Bajan Poetry: nice poem, I Love It.

This is a very sad situation, however you look at it, there is nothing entertaining about domestic violence.

There are always too many obnoxious rumors flying around by lawless people and this girl should be allowed to live a private life. I think Barbadians are too jealous minded, most people I hear talking seems to think it is funny; but it would not be, if it was one of their family members.

Rihanna, look to God for strength in this difficult time. I hope and pray that you received all the emotional support you need & May God Bless You.

excellent article on DV

If the allegations in The Sun article are correct then I’m not surprised that Brown lost his temper. I would too, if somebody threw away my Lambourghini keys!! However, he should n’t have beaten her as badly as he did for which Rihanna may have her lesbian, feminist-freak friends to thank for fooling her that she can do as she likes because she’s a woman – check the words of the song she was recording!

As much as I love u sweetie, it nuh guh so dear! It’s time to grow-up and stick to what you’re best at doing, singing sensible songs, sweetly!!

199, you trippin or something here, because that is a lovely poem to our girl, and if you could do so better, drop one here on us. I am not talking about no rap music, I am talking gospel and it look to me like you need some gospel music to help you get your praise on.

199, you write none, or else you would have posted it here. Anyway, I am waiting. In the meantime I am praying for both Chris and Rihianna, young love gone bad. Please keep us posted BU on any new details. thanks

In an earlier post, some said that Rihanna was brilliant.

I wonder what you would think of this girl who was celebrated in today’s Nation?

Her perfprmance has certainly impressed me. She seems to surpass the lengendary exploits of Darcy Boyce at HC in the 60’s.

Ranisha is an ace in the pack
Published on: 2/12/09.
SHE HAS NEVER ALLOWED her epilepsy to keep her down.
At aged 13 she took her first Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) paper in religious knowledge.
By the time she reached fourth form at Harrison College, Ranisha Young had obtained passes in information technology, mathematics, English language, and principles of business – all at Grade 1. She had also gained principlesof accounts at Grade 3.
When she entered fifth form to complete sixth form work, she excelled in A Level accounts, law, management of business, mathematics, economics, communications studies and sociology. Not happy with her grade in principlesof business, she sat it again, with a Grade 1 success. She also obtained passes in Spanish, human and social biology, electronic document Preparation and management.
Armed with 17 subjects, Ranisha decided at the age of 15 to apply to the University of the West Indies (UWI) where she is currently studying accounting and law.
Many who see Ranisha would agree that she looks much younger than her 16 years.
One of the highlights of her years at school is that she taught herself sociology and economics, later gaining both subjects at A Level standard.
A former student of Goodings Private School and St Martin’s Primary, Ranisha also loves to study and surf the Internet for information on various subjects.
“Studying is a hobby, and I love to read a lot. I read almost anything,” the young academic says.
Apart from her studies, Ranisha got involved in a number of activities at school. They ranged from track and field (at which she also excelledas a long distance runner), to dancing. Whileshe still finds time to spend with friends and attend parties, the Kirton’s, St Philip resident is focused on her studies.
Ranisha was exempted from most of her first year courses at university because of her success O and A Level subjects. She spends six to seven days each week at the UWI, but prefers to reserve Sundays for the beach with family members
including her three siblings. Her parents are Dawn Young and James Greenidge, both individual restaurant proprietors,
Ranisha is one of the younger students on campus, and when she graduates from the UWI, she will be a mere 18 or 19 years old – the ages at which most persons enter university.
The first of four children, Ranisha hopes to commence studies for her Master’s degree within the next three years.
Her ability to excel is a wonder to her parents and grandparents. That’s because while she is clearly an academic, Ranisha missed many days away from school due to her epileptic seizures.
Inspired however by her dad, a former student of The Lodge School, and her cousin Ianthe Hill, a teacher, together with Troy “Kudos” Weekes, Ranisha believes that she should get as much education as possibleat her tender age.
“I’m just interesting in studying. Teenage life is such a short one. When it is over you have to face the real world of work,” she states.
Ranisha, who resides with her grandparents Sylvan and Beatrice Young is not a lover of television and her family supports her ideals and are extremely proud of her.
“I’m very proud of her. She is honest and stubborn, one who likes to get her own way; but I love the fact that she has her life planned out,” says dad, James.
“It’s best to study and get a career so you won’t have to depend on anyone,” adds Ranisha, “and I believe in putting my studies first.”

Plus, she still probably, does n’t write as brilliant poems as mine!!

some people in barbados believe that if you are not academically inclined , you are nothing !

TC-R-A-P !

@ 199
GP, what’s this to do with Rihanna being brilliant!! I don’t plan to go and see Ranisha in concert!!

I dont plan to go to see Rihanna in concert either.

@me & crap
I am not surprised by your responses.

GP, if u don’t plan to go to see Rihanna in concert then it just shows how stupid u are because she’s the greatest sensation to occur in Barbados since time immemorial and probably ever will be, not to mention one of the greatest talents which will ever grace the planet, so you’re just displaying your stupidity even greater for all to see!!

Ace,
Stupseeeeeeeeeee, HAPPY VALENTINES MAN,whether you celebrate it or not. Man, leff ma nah, Oh christ man. You like a bile pun a pile. I gun pay you wah I owe you man.
Go and sleep now. I gun check ya lata.

Georgie Porgie,
Sorry man, I din realize dat JC was de main squeeze. Is aw-rite, all is well.

199
You’re still quite amazing and amusing. A too luv ya.

Georgie

I have an burning issue. I had a conversation today with someone and I was disgusted at the level of ignorance I heard coming out of her mouth. I seem to recall a situation not so long ago that had bajans in a tizzy on BU where a known female Radio Announcer, Veoma Ali was charged with criminal damages to yet another one of our Bajan Songbirds, Kareen Clarke, and her damages were far more serious than Rihanna’s as a car was driven over her foot leaving here in a state where she can never regain the full use of her foot, and some bajans were very quick to cast aspirations on her character and belittle her notable successes island wide, castigating her and some even believed she deserved it.
Here it is we have yet another domestic dispute involving another one of our songbirds, Rihanna, on an international level, and the overwhelming response in support of Rihanna, on all levels has left Chris Brown (due to his actions), costing him so much of his accolades and sponsorship and fans. People stop playing he music ever which way, even on radio stations overseas, engagements he had booked called to cancel because of his behaviour, even bajans want to kill he and such like, yet Ms. Veoma Ali a Trinidadian by nationality, unlike Chris Brown is still very much fuctioning and performing her daily duties ON THE AIR as though nothing happened. I wonder what MS.Ali has to say on this topic? Does she condemn Chris Brown too? As a matter of fact I am curious to know what Vic Fernandez would have done it was his daughter in messes that Kareen and Rihanna were involved in? Would he still insist on Ms.Ali working and functioning at his radio station?. Are these two matters that different that the whole of Barbados wanted to crucify Kareen for her bad choice in friend or lover? Then what about Rihanna’s choice? I dont hear nobody commenting on her choice in her ‘thug-boyfriend’ as a matter of fact the whold of Bim welcomed him when he came, who beat the crap out of her. The Hypocisy in this country! When will it end?

anonymous, you should check out Miss veoma’s article in the SUNDAY SUN under her alia names: Raphah & Victoria. She might very well right bout it as she does about all her personal life.

–“DONT BEAT THE WOMAN” –by ASIBA – THE BUFFALO SOLDIER
(*available on bajantube.com; imeem.com-and youtube.com)

This is a song against domestic violence
The radio stations dont play this song
The radio stations are therefore failing to stem the tide of domestic violence.

If Chris had come to Barbados and hear this song playing all the time, he would have approached the situation differently

These radio stations bout here want running off the airwaves.-soon though it got to happen
I VEX–man !–BLUE VEX MAN !

Asiba,
Since you sa good at writing songs, I want ya to pen one fa de men. Ya could name it ‘Stop mekking de men support children dat wunna kno’ in dem whun”.(That too is a form of abuse also and is happen daily) Lemme hear ya………start de ting nah.
