This interview is long, but worth every second. Yesterday Kola and I chatted about some really deep stuff, and some really shallow stuff, like her hook-ups with Mike Tyson (!) (?) and Mr. HAWTNESS, Gerard Butler. Not only does she drop some wisdom (as usual) she drops some DELICIOUS details about our favorite gladiator.
Take a listen:
Arlette81 is an idiot (and either white or a black man) but Kola Boof is also NOT someone to be admired.
She is clearly troubled and her sexual antics and inabiltity to filter herself speak to that.
I'm all for being sexually liberated- even borderline promiscious if you practice safe sex. But telling folks about it constantly in a crude, pointless ("look at me!") way is strange and tacky. Sure white girls do it. But Chelsea Handler is considered a skank- why join her on the sl*ut squad?
Kola was once beautiful, but she now has that "look" that women who are trying too hard with too many partners get. It is a waste of her beauty and talent. This is not how a black women- or any woman- should be.
Be OUT THERE! BE sexually free! Be open about your enjoyment of sex. But don't brag about having sex with gross people and hotties- like these people are all the same (notches on the head post). You embarrass better quality men. Kola won't be raking them in for long. And don't end up with TONS of nude pics of yourself on the internet wihtout even needing to enter a porn site. If you Google Kola and pics of her (for her legendary beauty) you get as many T8ttie and topless pics as pics of her on book covers. And they are not even glamorous nude , modelling shots. How is this being a strong black woman and owning your sexuality?
As for Kimora, Kola is still Tweeting about having sex with Kimora's husband? What is wrong with this woman? Its too much? Kola clearly has gone thru a lot of trauma and abuse in her life, but she is empowering herself the way that women who end up in porn or prostituion do. And that never works.

i had to laugh at your comment, this is the first time someone has ever questioned my gender and race based solely on my comments. so many things wrong with your comment.
firstly kola can take as many naked pics as she wants, last time i checked that was her body.
secondly her sexuality is something she can expess however she likes. i dont always agree with the way she mentions some guys names but hey.
thirdly based on your comment i have a feeling you have problems with black men andwhite women. its not good to gerneralise an entire race of people ya know. oh and btw dont call people you dont know idiots.
just wonderin why you checkin for kolas naked pics in google.
arlette81freda747 Amazing! You bash Kola in your early comments, but you contradict that and defend her - JUST BECAUSE I CRITICIZED YOU.
That is stupid. My morals or standards don't change based on who I like or don't like.
The comment about me not liking black men and white women is just the usual message board BS. Why make up nonsense? Make a real point about what I posted. Don't just insult me because of one line about you. The crap about me searching for nude Kola pics is SO stupid. You read my post. Don't try so hard to be insulting in a juvenile way.
You say Kola can express her sexuality after bashing her for the Osama thing? Contradictory and petty.

i can not for the life of me understand what there is to lke about her. isnt she the woman that is constantly talking about how she sleeps with married men then has the nerve of getting rude to the wives. isnt she the woman who has had a relationship with probably the most evil man and is proud of it."
That's you. Can't see why you defend her now. Oh I forgot. I posted something about you. That changes everything! [Yes Newyorkfreda is me. I had trouble with my other log in]
Amazing interview and yes I appreciated all of it including the more controversial tidbits. This is a complex and intellgent woman who has so much to share and I for one am more than willing to take what I can from her wisdom and experience.
I totally enjoyed her interview! The truth is truth. I agree with her issues about religion and the oppression...faith in a higher power is different. I also grew up with a mother that fought hard to give me the sense of entitlement that I used for the basis for my life.It carries you!
I also relate more to the assertiveness of ww about their lives than the idea of giving away my value to a bm like bc would ask us to do. I am encouraging my dd and sister to know that feeling entitled is ok...that we are worthy. Yes....specifically using those words. We have to be direct about this!
Kola is a beautiful woman. I can't understand who would look at this goddess and say she is anything but? My bff's sister is nearly her twin and from the US, Asia and Europe, intelligence, long legs, big boobs, small waist, smooth brown skin and dreads....yes.... non black men see her as gorgeous. Why is that so hard to imagine? Our "ugly" status with bm and media isn't indicative of what millions of men and women of every race truly knows about our beauty.
I was told very boldly that I would be made into the maid if I didn't follow the bm I married to hell. She is spot on with that.
OMG, not to defer is so true! I have never done it but I can see how that is problematic when other women expect you to move out of their way. Boy do they get surprised when you assert yourself, lol. I smile at bw and yet I agree...many don't return the love.
I am looking forward to reading her books. After hearing her for myself, I am very interested in hearing more of what she has to say. Her "loud mouth" was the same style my mother used to get what she deserved. She had to fight for EVERYTHING with that "loud mouth". Trying to go the quiet route ain't working ladies!
oh you guys are fu-nny i remember her bragging about banging osama bin ladin, bragging can you believe and saying how she would show of to his wife. this woman is special really is.
Arlette, this is Chris, head bottle-washer here. We don't do cat fights on this board. Please refer to the Board Rules up top before you ban yourself right out of this place. arlette81
arlette81 I get that you don't think much about this woman as a person. You have made your point. You are really not posting any new information here. Now if you want to talk about her body of work,ideas and the like i'm down. Not feeling this rehash about her sex life, could care less and not letting it go on much longer. Catch my drift?
Brenda55arlette81
isnt this article about her sex life. doubt gerald would ever talk about banging her but hey whatevs. ok then lets talk about her ideas, lets talk about the fact that she is a RACIST, lets talk about the fact she constantly refers to other women as ugly bitches, lets talk about the fact that she thinks black men who date ir are clourstruck? i doubt you want to talk about that do you?
arlette81
so what? Obviously you're a slave to Kimora so why are you even here? If after listening to the interview, the only thing you can do is whine over her problem with Kimora then you need to move the hell on. also how would you even know about that, if not for the fact that YOU follow her twitter. Hypocrite.
Eastend_Chic
a slave to who kimmora i dont even like her so what are you on about huh? i dont have twitter so wrong again so cant be a hypocrite right? i read it of some website. darling i think you would find that you are a slave to kola so you need to check that. i dont like her coz she is negative racist hypocrite. can you believe that she called another woman of colour aa japanese wart hog. im sorry but i hate people of colour sho think they are exempt from racism, she is disgusting. she thinks men of colour who are not checking for her are colourstruck when they date ir.
arlette81 lol @ calling Kola a "racist" I dont consider Kimora a "woman of color" so I dont care. Also she mentioned Many times Kimora did and said many nasty things to her behind the scenes hence her comments. so why the hell would I jump to Kimora's defense? That's between the two of them. Get over it. It has NOTHING to do with black men not checking HER, she talks about black men who bash black women to gain favor with others. Listen to the damn interview instead of running your mouth about a woman you are so ignorant of.
Eastend_Chic
wow you are ignorant. last tme i checked she is a person of colour, last time i checked she was part black, last time i checked you cant change the definition of what it means to be a person of colour. same as changing the definition of racism get over it.
Eastend_Chic
yet its ok for her to bash black men huh? saying shit like how they all cheat. is that ok?
As a full blooded BLACK Nigerian woman, Im sure I know about African men more than you. Again the more you open your trash, the the more obvious it is that you're not here to listen to the interview but to just run your mouth and whine. There's more to Kola than her rants on twitter. The fact that you take it all to heart proves you're beyond simpleminded. This is a woman that has stated that she married a black man cos she loves them and she wanted her kids to be black. I see nothing worng with her being harsh with black men who disrespect black women. anyway like I said I peep now that you're a simpleton so Im done entertaining. you are obviously bored else why are you here? you didnt listen to the interview. you dont care for her, so what are you looking for? Enjoy trolling around. maybe someone else will feed you. I however am done. Ciao!
Eastend_Chic
oh really now as a full rwandan girl who has lived in africa for more than ten years i would love to know your opinion of balck men. calling me a simpleton is only proving that you are ignorant and dont know how to have a proper discussiion as well was dum dum dum RACIST coz you agree with her. why is it not right for white racists to say racist stuff on twitter but ok for her huh? ahh when you dont have your way you just throw your dummy and walk away. anywho i am also done with you coz you are sad and it depresses me that we share a race. i dont think having a different a opinion to someone was trolling but hey what do i know?
Eastend_Chic
luckly not all black african women are as bitter as i think you are.
Eastend_Chic
oh and talking about how black african men are not faithful, do you agree is that why you are on this site, sad sad woman.
Eastend_Chic
i agree with 99.9% of the things she says but some things she says are not acceptable.
oh this is lovley quote from her twitter. "African men fuck when they want to fuck...they never faithful." isnt that lovely coming from and african woman. this is just beyond sad becuase she slept wit hsome white dude all of you like her.
i can not for the life of me understand what there is to lke about her. isnt she the woman that is constantly talking about how she sleeps with married men then has the nerve of getting rude to the wives. isnt she the woman who has had a relationship with probably the most evil man and is proud of it.
This interview is the best!!! I can't believe that I've never heard of Kola???!!!! Has anyone read her book?
glamdoll I read _The Sexy Part of The Bible_. It's a trip. I recommend it. I'm looking forward to the sex book. lolz.
ForestElfQueen
I have to get it. I can't believe I never heard of Kola??????!!! I really enjoyed her interview.
glamdoll Read the Sexy Part of the Bible, it is an amazing read. Kola is a very talented writer.
Assert your will. I love that.
I don't know what's going on in her personal life but I enjoyed this interview. Discussion of black issues has been dominated by men - Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, Marc Lamont Hill, Roland Martin, Toure (pop culture), and on and on. Kola is articulate and has a unique point of view which I appreciated hearing. I would love to see her speak in person on black and geo-political issues.
*ahem, clears throat*
In case I wasn't clear before..this is a thread for people who want to discuss Kola Boof and her interview. Off-topic comments WILL BE DELETED.
Thank you.
He was a Spartan [Greek] General not a Gladiator in 300, which is a Roman slave that must fight to stay alive.
Hey, did you get my post about today being National Spilled Milk Day? Christelyn JmaximusSpartacus
I agree with Kola 100%! We must continue to defend black womanhood and glorify our beauty. Great interview!
I love Kola Boof, with a capital L-O-V-E! She is amazing, educated and very well spoken.
JennyJames,
I think you are spamming this thread. Make your next comment (if you have another one to make) your last.
JamilaWhy would you say such....I'm Spamming this thread!!!...I have given my feed backs and shared links just like every one else...are you afraid of something that I may say or have already said?...So what you shall block me!?...I made some good pointers...and you could not deal with it...You can't deal with being dissing....So go on...do what you have to do...:-))
JennyJames "So go on...do what you have to do...:-))"
Since you asked for it...*poof*!!
JamilaJennyJames It's like she pet the cat too hard. :S
Toni_MJennyJames
"It's like she pet the cat too hard."
lol
Yeah, I want this thread to get back to talking about Kola and the interview that Chris did with her. I know some folks felt like the thread went haywire, so I'm going to do my best to bring the thread back around to its original intent.
After I have listened to the interview, I 100% cosign. Thanks for sharing this Kola Boof/ Christelyn.
As said by Kola Boof and a link I think deserved to be watched by all!!...http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=I0SkNGVWTJE
..."It's so easy to say anything about Black women and get away with it" says Kola Boof today. "What makes me angry is when other Black women say that I should just ignore it, that it's not important. They're so wrong. This is the reason that anyone can victimize us is because Black women don't understand how important it is for us to define ourselves and to be able to tell our truth. It saddens me that I told the truth about my life...and the truth did not set me free. The truth caused me to be lied on, abused and vilified. It also caused other Black women to feel that I deserved the treatment I received. The more you identify your attacker, the more your beating seems justified in many Black women's eyes. This is why I thank God that I'm not the ordinary Black woman."
Peace yo'll...One love....:-)
JennyJames I think Kola Boof was an interesting choice for new, New Black woman. However, I don't applaud her behaviour towards our moderator. It was deleted before I had a chance to see it. Maybe Kola flew off the handle in the face of Jamila's to the point questioning. So that was an inappropriate response. Definitely.
On the other hand, do I really want to see pics of Kola with 100-twenty different men? Not really. How she chooses to live her life and her sexuality is her own business. What she says about THAT doesn't interest me so much. Jamila is right though, if she puts it out there, then she should expect some questions about it. And Jamila wasn't particularly harsh with her question.
If I separate that from the actual content of the interview, I can say it was a great interview. Her actual presence here, wasn't. Maybe she isn't all that compatible with the live Q&A type setting. I dunno.
Anyways Chris, who's nNBW for today?
PS- just because we don't like her doesn't mean we should label her as an opportunist. Some other folks tried to label our estimed Chris an opportunist and we didn't like it. With an important message for the BWIP, we need as many people trumpeting before we can bring down the walls of Jericho.
That's all I gotta say. I'm gonna go vacuum something.
oekmama Thanks for your input....AND my thoughts-" On the other hand, do I really want to see pics of Kola with 100-twenty different men? Not really. How she chooses to live her life and her sexuality is her own business. What she says about THAT doesn't interest me so much"....So why was your moderator so intereting in this main factors and needed to see proof of these men?!!!.When SHE stated in her feedbacks she had read about it on tweets...If she had listened to the interview like he co worker,Christelyn Karazin wrote..".To the defense of this piece, I would just ask that people reserve their opinions until they have listened to the audio. Very little was discussed about "hooking up," but more about how black women undervalue themselves and ways to think differently about their worth"...
And as you wrote...."However, I don't applaud her behaviour towards our moderator. It was deleted before I had a chance to see it"..
Which to me is beside the point now!!..I care less what she or others had to say...
So what is your points here??!!!...
I stand for justice,oekmama....And most of your comments given the day or night before was in favor of the rights of Kola...Now you may change that over night...But that does not change your words...excapt if some one deletes it....
A good day to you Sir.......Peace and one love....
oekmamaJennyJames Pics of Ms. Boof with 100-twenty different men? - does the sun rise in the East? ... yeah .....
JennyJames This man never talked about color when he said his children should look for a good man!
Marcie I have no idea what you are talking about...Please I beg of you.....Do not make troubles for me.....I speak my mind freely on here...I qoute people but PLEASE don't make statements I did not say....Thank you....:-)
