Good day;
I recently read an article on your site Being black in Brazil vs being black in the USA – A Perspective by Italo Ramos. Wonderfully written. I will be back on your site to read more.

I found something on youtube.com where a young, black man is trying to document his inculcation into American society from age 9-17. He begins with his first years an a Caribbean immigrant and all he saw and felt about whiteness, blackness and the realities of the American dream. Interesting stuff as well. If you have time, take a look.

Peace,
My name is C'BS ALife Allah. I'm the author of the blog, The Journal of Allah's Five Percent. I've been following your blog for a minute. I also have an Afrofuturism blog at blueblackatlantis.squarespace.com (use to be at sci-edge.com/sciedge/macewindu/_blog). I came across a post by you somewhere mentioning about possibly wanting to see an Afrofuturist blog ring. I'd like to build with you on this. You can reach me at righteous.addon@gmail.com
