Yes, we should have a national holiday in his honor, but the government needs to take out columbus day as a holiday as well.

Profile Information

Name: Afro-Punk

About Me: Since the beginning, the focus of Afro-Punk has been to give a voice to thousands of multi-cultural kids fiercely identifying with a lifestyle path-less-traveled.
It all started with 2003's Afro-Punk, the seminal cult classic film spotlighting Black Punks in America.

Afro-Punk became a touchstone of a cultural movement strongly reminiscent of the early days of Hip-Hop.
Alternative urban kids across the nation (and across the globe) who felt like outsiders discovered they were actually the core of a boldly innovative, fast-growing community. The online members have been the driving force behind the exploding Afro-Punk (AP) culture, creating an authentic virtual home in www.afropunk.com.

As the AP movement continued to gain momentum and influence, it went front-and-center at CMJ and SXSW, press coverage ranged from Pitchfork, URB, Vibe, and Nylon to The New York Times, Variety, Entertainment Weekly, MTV and The Los Angeles Times.

In 2005, the very first annual Afro-Punk Festival debuted to wildly enthusiastic crowds at the iconic Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). The festival celebrated and unified the cultural cornerstones of Afro-Punk: music, film, skate, and most importantly, the fiercely independent and influential individuals that are the lifeblood of the AP community.

Now in its 5th year, the Afro-Punk Festival is bigger than ever: 40 bands, skate/BMX parks, visual artists, movies and thousands of audience members.

Keeping it real but always fabulous (no small feat), electro-funk-rock artist Gordon Voidwell is going to make you dance with his new mixtape 'MalcolmXXXMclaren'. Here's what his camp said: "Bronx-bred style child Gordon Voidwell releases the 22-song MalcolmXXXMclaren mixtape this February, just in time to coincide with (or rather to “complicate,” as Voidwell puts it) the onset of Black History Month. The highly anticipated follow up to 2009’s Voided Checks mixtape finds the…

At 9:04am on July 17, 2011, Spookycreep said…: How's it going? I have a heads-up if you're interested. Another AP member has posted some videos featuring alternative black women. What's interesting is that most of it is new stuff. The member's name is The Martinez. I told her I was going to tell on her, so if you haven't seen the video, check em out.

At 10:58pm on May 24, 2011, Spookycreep said…: Hey, I made another video. It's nothing like the others. I have no idea how AP will take this one but I think it's pretty cool_dark as shit_but still cool. I'm calling it_ drum roll please_ Spookycreep's House of Horrors.

It's too bad it's not October.

At 11:50am on May 23, 2011, Spookycreep said…: I just picked up the CD from the post office today. I had to get a new ID made first so I had to wait a minute. (Me and ID's don't get along too well.) I had thought about asking if I could have a T shirt instead of the CD but you guys/girls sent the shirt, CD and the movie? Very cool! Thanks a bunch.

AP rocks!.

   Spookycreep will do for the mention and my real name and address for the CD.

    If this website fails it won't be because I didn't support it.

   Keep up the great work!

    p.s. no website.

At 6:49pm on May 8, 2011, Spookycreep said…: Hey! I found one picture of a sexy MF that you could post on Facebook. I'll post it on my page. Feel free. (Just add "pimp" to the long list of things Spookycreep does)

At 5:15am on May 8, 2011, Spookycreep said…: About the hard- to- find good pics of alternative black males. Yes, yes and yes. As for goth pictures, the women rule whether they are black or white. I have a few cool pictures of white male goth's but they too are few and far between. If the black women videos are any indication though, I think it's just a matter of time. I will keep my eyes open.

How about sending Facebook some gay male porn? That ought to shut them up! Ask them what do these pictures do.

At 6:36pm on May 6, 2011, Spookycreep said…: I just posted the video of black alternative males. It turned out better than I thought it would and given enough material I'd make others. I'm not that computer-swift but I think I see a way of posting this new video on Youtube. It definately needs to be there.
