Welcome! I didn't see a space for the black goths on Afropunk. So, here it is! Please be kind to each other. Let's not become yet another unwelcoming online community.

Dearly departed... I mean you AP goths... I don't know what made me remember this but having done so, I'm thinking, a goth would find it interesting so I will relate it to you. In doing so I hope to encourage others to share what ever it is,…Continue

Marquis De Sade to Leopold Von Sacher Masoch... To varying degrees those of the Goth persuasion are polarized toward either of these characters. Interestingly enough though, much like a lyric from Bob Marley's song, Slave Driver: "every time I hear…Continue

Comment by Sterling Infinity on July 15, 2012 at 9:06pm Happy I found this group. This is awesome!
Comment by Jordana LeSesne on February 11, 2012 at 6:44pm So glad i found this place! It took me long enough but wow this is great!
@JASMINE: Though there are only a couple of posts so far, I like your "Color Me Goth" blog and hope you post more soon... What you wrote about the "Baby Bat" phase of Goth is very true and I'm sure hits close to home for a lot of people.

Comment by Jasmine on September 5, 2011 at 2:06pm Comment by Jasmine on August 15, 2011 at 10:33am I have just started a new blog on my experience on being a goth of color and just being a goth in general. So far it has two entries already.
The blog is called Color Me Goth
i would really be grateful If anybody here checked it out and told me what they thought. I am already working on some tutorial videos to post as well some artist and musician reviews.
Comment by Brown Kitsune on August 5, 2011 at 9:42pm Hey people! Im doing videos!
The video(s) will be about the members of Afropunk. Ill make videos about the Ap ladies and queens, guys, queers, and the members representing Ap.
1. Email me at:
brownkitsune@ymail.com
2. Send 3 or 4 PICTURES of you striking a pose and being all badass.
3. When you email the pictures put your USER NAME in the
SUBJECT BOX.
4. In the MESSAGE BOX put what your GENDER is.
5. In the MESSAGE BOX put if you want to be in the LADIES/QUEENS VIDEO, GUY'S VIDEO, or / and LBGT VIDEO.
The deadline for the pictures is August 20. I most likely will not finish the video until the first week of September. If I have too many pictures to fit into the video I will make another one. So if you don't see your pic in the first vid itll be in the second. The video will be show cased on afropunk's web site sometime in September. The video should be on the front page as a feature.
*Even though the ladies and queens video will be first, guys can still send pictures to my email.
Hope these directions are clear lol and I also hope to hear from you soon! ^.^
Thank you very much SilverWing. I will let you know when I post the blog. I also want to talk to you about writing but I'm not ready just yet.
Hey folks. If any of you are interested, I figured this ugly-side-of-goth thing out and am over it. I really thought I was moving toward the declaration that I'm not goth because of the bull I went through. What turned things around was a soul-searching review of how i developed an intrest in goth. Before I could get to the end of it, the answer was clear to me. I like dark shit, always have, always will, so a few dumb apples in the bunch is hardly going to change that.
So I'm BLACKOVERTHEBLUE. You all may truely be in danger of some corn-ball, dark jokes!
I think i may do a blog giving the details of this turn-about. I'ts even answered the question to my satisfaction: What is goth?
In any case, if any of you read it, I'd apprecrecate the feed back.
And Ms. Silverwing: you're a writer. I write too and plan on taking a second look at your work. I suspect I will be wanting to talk to you.
