Young sisters, you must think deeply about the way of our ancestors. Those of ancient Nubia, Kemet, and the rest of our motherland surpassed all others in their wisdom and humanity. They are the ones who warned us about committing treason against the culture and tradition that make us Afrikan, lest we destroy ourselves. Remember, there is no separation of the past and present, no divide between ourstorical interpretation and contemporary reality.

Racist Hollywood likes to portray us African men as warlords and savagely GENOCIDAL brutes carrying machine guns and machetes.

Homosexuality and the Effeminization of Afrikan Males

By Sicebise Msengana

"As with every other perversion Europeans attempt to introduce us to, homosexuality often comes in a humorous package. We are persuaded to laugh at its strangeness. Participatory laughter disarms us and makes the object of our laughter innocent, harmless. Yet, at the same time, it opens our minds to the possibility of its acceptance. Regardless, it is introduced to our consciousness. And we should know that all it takes is one time. All we have to do to have something planted in our minds is to be exposed to it one time. That’s why people shield their children from negativity, to prevent them from being exposed to things that they do not want them to consider as possibilities, things that shatter their innocence" - Mwalimu K. Bomani Baruti, Homosexuality and the Effeminization of Afrikan Males.

African Male Image

AFRICAN MALE IMAGE:

When Black men voice their opinions we are "weak" and like to "blame the white man and Black women" for our problems? Ok, I get it. It's systematic and getting out of control.
