The conflict of advanced adult sexual nature in the new world order of the ages.

The question was asked as to why POCs are so homophobic and even fearful of sexual polarities in general other than the basic homosexual polarities.
So while some were talking (in a swingers group) about male anal stimulation and the suspect nature of a man being on a DL if they fetishize about that act. I had to express a deeper explanation of sexual polarities in general and the general nature of common people in todays new world exposure...

Actually the issue here is education more than suspect nature.


In our culture as People of Color, we tend to be very miseducated in advanced sexual nature. So for many all they know is hetro or homo. And nothing in between or any exceptions. Part of that problem is because of the structure of organized religion culturally. Take Eddie Long for instance. While he KNOWS what he is doing to some degree, he also KNOWS that the structure that he is conditioned from demands that what he KNOWS and FEELS is NEVER to be exposed to COMMON MAN. Because up until this century, advanced sexual education was ONLY exposed to mystics and monarks of society. So all of these sexual lifestyles were secrets that were held as indulgences ONLY for the high and mighty. And that means everything above heterosexual missionary sexual contact. So everything including swinging to BDSM to descriptions of sexual polarities were all taboo to common man. THAT is the deep part of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Because the BIGGEST sin was sexual deviance and over exposure of ignorance as to the spiritual powers and responsibilities connected to the act of sex it's self and GODs desire to be included i ever act in a positive nature. So homosexuality was not as much of a sin unless the parties involved disrespected the basic laws of human nature. And ALL of that was too deep for common man to have THAT much air and opportunity to spitefully and selfishly indulge in sexual deviance without remorse. Kinda like the way we are NOW starting to indulge in sexual deviance today due to exposure of the internet but fail to respect the basic conditions as to why each act has a purpose ad conditions as to why they exist. So commoners are now jumping into these advanced sexual lifestyles with no respect or concern for anyone but their own desire to selfishly explore a act that it too spiritually powerful for them to handle and they are preying on others more than having any concern for the possibility that they may harm others in their quest for entertaining mindless deviancy.

So in short...

NO ACT between man and woman (loving partners) in a loving relationship is a sin in theory.

PROBLEM is?

Sex is a powerful act that creates the SAME effect as DRUGS in the mind and even in souls of human beings rather they have become upper metaphysically educated as to dangers and responsibilities involved with these evolutionary acts or not! And in the case of "prostrate milking" and male anal exposure? Up until as of late, THAT ACT was ONLY reserved for trained Doctors for medicinal purposes! And for the few advanced practitioners who can safely explore that act for entertainment purposes.

And it gets deeper!

Because even the POPE stated in his Christmas address last year that "back in his day sexual deviance including pedophilia was NO BIG DEAL".... And many found great offense in his statement without consideration of WHERE his views of recollection stemmed from. Mostly due to the basic moral conditioning that the common religious populace has been educated under.

Mind you, the history of the Egyptians, Romans and the Greeks to state a few, have ALL noted the ART of Erotic indulgence by Royals, Mystics, Nobels, Craftsmen and Socialites in the community. Even the gladiators and the military were recorded and even somehow excused for their homosexual conduct with each other WITHOUT judgement of being lessor of a MAN or Woman/lady respectfully.

While the ONLY recording in our history of the common people being exposed and engulfed in deviant sexual nature was in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. And in THAT example the moral of THAT story was how the masses of lower classes abused THAT freedom that was expected to include greater responsibility as well as Spiritual REASONING behind each and every indulgence and sexual act personally. And what resulted was a loss of social concern for anyone and a selfish corrupt nature by common man that resulted in the need for the whole populace to be destroyed due to the severity of blasphemy by the common people as a whole.

Not because of the expression of homosexual nature. But because of the lack of education and purpose of basic sexuality and the spiritual concern for positive relations between respectful partners as to cautious conduct with such a powerful act of sexual experimentation.

So in theory, the act of mindless predatory terrorism and premeditated sexual assault by the masses became the HOLY OFFENSE when the common people of Sodom and Gomorrah desired and even demanded the intent to RAPE the two angels that were sent to Sodom and Gomorrah to protect Abraham's nephew, Lot.

http://www.gotquestions.org/Sodom-and-Gomorrah.html

#### "The biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah is recorded in Genesis chapters 18-19. Genesis chapter 18 records the Lord and two angels coming to speak with Abraham. The Lord informed Abraham that "the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous." Verses 22-33 record Abraham pleading with the Lord to have mercy on Sodom and Gomorrah because Abraham's nephew, Lot, and his family lived in Sodom."

#### "Genesis chapter 19 records the two angels, disguised as human men, visiting Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot met the angels in the city square and urged them to stay at his house. The angels agreed. The Bible then informs us, "Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom — both young and old — surrounded the house. They called to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.'" The angels then proceed to blind all the men of Sodom and Gomorrah and urge Lot and his family to flee from the cities to escape the wrath that God was about to deliver. Lot and his family flee the city, and then "the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah — from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities..."

#### "In light of the passage, the most common response to the question "What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?" is that it was homosexuality. That is how the term "sodomy" came to be used to refer to anal sex between two men, whether consensual or forced. Clearly, homosexuality was part of why God destroyed the two cities. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to perform homosexual gang rape on the two angels (who were disguised as men). At the same time, it is not biblical to say that homosexuality was the exclusive reason why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were definitely not exclusive in terms of the sins in which they indulged."

#### "Ezekiel 16:49-50 declares, "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me..." The Hebrew word translated "detestable" refers to something that is morally disgusting and is the exact same word used in Leviticus 18:22 that refers to homosexuality as an "abomination." Similarly, Jude 7 declares, "...Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion." So, again, while homosexuality was not the only sin in which the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah indulged, it does appear to be the primary reason for the destruction of the cities."

I digress...

The REASON for My biblical inclusion of these quotes are to better express the actual instinct of the common people of Sodom and Gomorrah and why they were destroyed more than how many follow the cliff notes of the folklore they have been religiously conditioned to believe today...

Now why is THIS so important?

It's more important TODAY more than ever because THIS lesson has been FORBIDDEN to be explained to the commoners of society that BECAUSE of Sodom and Gomorrah it has been feared that IF religious practitioners were to attempt to explain this reality to the common populace? Solely because of their intelligence as a whole and their possibility to neglect such a freedom to explore these advanced sexual acts will cause the same massive corruption that occurred during Sodom and Gomorrah.

And up until this century and the invention of the World Wide Web?

This theory was demanded to be taboo to common man for their own good!

But NOW we are facing a new problem in our societies again.

NOW organized religion is not faced with a greater conflict.
The ability to enlighten ALL of the masses after suppressing so many advanced freedoms that have been ONLY reserved for upper metaphysically educated responsible may cause the total collapse of organized religion as a whole out of spite!

Thus the issue that people like Eddie Long, and The Pope, and so many others who have seemed to have felt excused in their conduct that they have preached to be sinful to the masses and yet been found out to have been following a conflictive inexcusable lifestyle that they are permitted to explain after exposed because THAT would mean that THEY would have to explain the deeper definitions of every sexual polarity and how and WHERE it is expressed and the conditions of ALL of it, to everyone. No matter if they want to believe it or not!

And THAT is not going to happen because that would mean that EVERY secret that many darker orders have hidden from the common man will also HAVE to be exposed as well.

And the common man in todays society can NOT handle THAT much enlightenment at this point in their impression of humanity as a whole. From what they have been manipulated to believe for their own safety in theory. But what many will consider a total insult to their intelligence.

Because SEX is the MOST powerful and unexplained act in humanity next to pain and death.

The upper metaphysical nature of such mystical power and responsibility as well as control and enlightenment would require everyone to be educated in the arts of Karma Sutra, Tantra, Chakras, and meditative yoga as well as martial arts as well as psychology and Biology JUST to be qualified to better understand the importance of respecting the act of sex to be NOTHING TO FUCK WITH in general.

And at this point in our awareness in this new world?
The basic conflicts that common man has with trying to understand their own personal sexual polarity and mental stability to be able to indulge in these advanced sexual lifestyles seem too difficult to consider studying FIRST before exploring the temptations of the flesh with a sound mind and a respectable responsibility to include their spiritual powers in a positive manner as to not harm each other or cause a act of extreem sin for abusing such a powerful act for mindless selfish reasons..

And being that todays general populace is NOT able to erase their personal impression of miseducated morality as a whole without the feeling of loosing their whole spirituality and identity?

The ability to inform and educate the masses of people who NOW find themselves drawn to these advanced sexual lifestyles that were once manipulated by their organized belief structure to enforce a MASS IGNORANCE for the common good of society is WAY TOO MUCH to handle without causing them to NOT include their spirituality as the driving force in their sexual desires.

And THAT means without judgement of others as well.

THAT is what BDSM actually is about in theory.
The respect and understanding of sexual polarities and every fetish known to mankind, respectfully.
(including the ones others find offensive and distasteful)

THAT is still too conflictive for the common man in society to excuse and respect towards others who may seem driven towards a darker and scarier personal fetish.

THAT is the difference in what the 1% of power feels empowered to indulge in that the 99% can not stomach to imagine how they can get away with such a privilege without feeling they are sinful to humanity.

And THAT includes polygamy, swinging, pedophilia, homosexuality, beastiality(sp), and every other fetish, sexual polarity and relationship dynamic that demands a different responsibility as to HOW they can afford to indulge into something that common man can not afford respectfully or have to explain to insignificant bystanders and low life's.

This new found investigative freedom of information of the masses of commoners and "normal" simple minded people is causing a great deal of corruptive nature to our basic family values as well as confusion to many common people in society who NOW feel the ability to indulge into sexual acts that were once considered TABOO in nature and even sinful by the standards set by organized religion as a whole.

So it's not as simple as homosexuality, bisexuality or heterosexuality now.
Now we have even deeper sexual polarities like Alpha, beta, and omega types.
We have Tops and Bottoms and fetishist.
We have mental conditions and tramas in our histories that are connected to our philia's and phobias.

All of these deeper identities demand that we KNOW exactly who and how we are and how we are not.

And NONE of these should change our personal image as whom we are.

So a man who loves his ass probed should never be questioned as to his sexuality no more than a man who cross dresses should never be questioned as well.
Nor should a homosexual, transsexual, lesbian or bisexual person ever be questioned as to their humanity or stability to be judged by their character no more than the color or culture.

And these adult sexual lifestyles SHOULD Be safe havens for all that understand and respect adult sexuality and sexual polarities and fetishes as a whole. So that no one has the right to judge another or feel uncomfortable being around others unlike themselves socially.

But this shit is TOO NEW and TOO DEEP for too many common people to understand WHY they have no choice but to keep their personal insecurities to themselves enough to embrace a sense of unity as a lifestyle community at large.

Just the over indulgence and temptation and freedom to explore so many of these sexual indulgences has cause too many simple minded people to abuse the basic concern for others for their own selfish desires and even ignorant selfish addictions and predatory instincts.

And THAT is and has been the Dangerous element of these Adult Sexual lifestyles today!

Because ignorance is TOO EASY to embarace but too uncomfortably shameful to admit when the pride of simple minds find themselves stuck having to face enlightenment and reality that is too strange to respect more than the risk of failure.

It's not JUST human nature.

It's because basic HUMAN NATURE is NOT what we have been conditioned to be allowed to believe as common people in todays society. Because OUR society as it has been STRUCTURED through organized religion that has manipulated the mindset of the masses of populations of civilizations for THEIR OWN PROTECTION respectfully has now become the most difficult conflict with our ability to enlighten ourselves enough to better explore these adult sexual lifestyles without guilt, shame, or fear of sin.

And we can not handle THAT much truth!

Because we can not handle THAT much responsibility to NOT rebel from the only spiritual faith base we have ever known to date.

And already too many people have grown to HATE organized religion for more reasons than they have the ability to excuse them for, now that they have the ability to see why they HAD to protect the masses from becoming another Sodom and Gomorrah!

And now here we stand together as a newly connected WORLD image still suffering manipulated ignorance and racism and folklore that once was for our own good in the smaller hoods we have evolved from today.

And the MOST uncomfortable truth and enlightenment that we all face in this civilized world as it stands today is sex and sexual polarity and how ONLY when we are able to educate ourselves fully into the deeper darker reality that has been hidden from us for thousands of years?

We MAY be able to better understand WHY Jesus Himself refrained from sex for a greater purpose in his teachings of spiritual enlightenment that ended up causing western civilizations to divide into conflicting beliefs in order to keep certain order and civil structure of the masses before we found ourselves where we all are in this New World Order of the Ages...

### "Enlightenment comes at a price. You have to shed your most profound beliefs, give up the props that keep you going each day, and arrive at a place where "you" does not exist. You are no longer playing a role in the theater, and you are no longer even in the theater because the theater too is an illusion. This is not a happy thing, enlightenment."

THAT price!
Is too deep and too dark for the civilized common man/woman to be expected to handle and respect over the reality that will no longer exist as soon as you become enlightened.

Sex is a act that creates a spiritual explosion of energy and light that can be the most powerful energy a human can posses or express once Mastered and understood.

If you can not include the highest form of your spiritual beliefs in your indulgence in the act of sex?

All your doing is fucking for no reason.
And too many of us have been created out of shame and ignorance of mindless sexual indulgence and selfish addiction that the basic product of such a act suffers more until it is able to do better for the next generation of blessings that are ONLY made by having sex!

The intent of the New World Order is to enlighten the masses so that they may peacefully evolve into a more enlightened state of a NEW WORLD REALITY of the masses respectfully.

But we can NOT learn enough from our history to no longer repeat it.
Because we have been too conditioned to defend what history we think has made us who we are today.

And we do not fully KNOW who we are as individuals because our sexual polarity is a part of our ever evolving DNA.

THAT requires a NEW MATH mentality.

What makes us most human is what made us and how we were made.

SEX is the most important part of our humanity.
And still the most uncomfortably taboo topic to handle as adults.

A Pimpstyle RANT worth reading during Ramadan.

As a Black non Christian Man, I find the need to sometimes lash out at the ignorance of My own and how I too feel connected by default.

And for that reason I feel the need to leave this rant here and not out there in the world on front street.

Sometimes My people don't think about how their words they leave on public threads are gonna come off to the rest of the viewing world, or even care how or why.

This reverse "Coonery" many seem to be comfortable with expressing as a fine example of our race.

It aint like there are many like us in the world.
We have become the last genetic mutation of many others from our generations that made us just black.

And I don't mean that there is anything wrong with that because I was raised to believe that Black is beautiful.

But these negro's out here can't let go of their own bullshit fast enough to notice that everyone else in the world views all of us AS IS.

And THAT is the part that I hate the most.
And hate is a very powerful word.

And if there is ONE thing that black folks can admit if they are at least worth shit is that we have to admit that all of us as a whole aint ready or even strong enough to see things from a world perspective and not a black American view point.

And every last one of us are very unique mutations of more other races and tribes of humans of the world that we are suffering from un-adapt-ability within this new found general populace of the world. And in this case it becomes even more complex because we are also kinky. (what ever that means)

But I'm not one of yall.

I keep trying to say that.
The ONLY thing most of us share in common is our skin color.

And THAT is how it is everywhere else in the world except in many urban areas and social realms in America.

But it pains Me to watch so many slip faster to exclude others of the same color at the drop of a hat and then bat a eye when they need to speak for their race just because...

If it all came down to a simple task of being forced into a broad category?

And you had to pick being just black or something else but that would mean that you had to stand with them or the black people?

More black folks would bail like they did with Obama's election.

It's a socially cultural issue.

Most black people talk as if they will never be faced with living abroad where their culture conflicts with your own and make that place your home. Let alone, be shown that others find you all more hip-o-critical just because in the BDSM mentality? Your or should I say OUR reality does not apply in a world perspective.

And many are now learning that back folks are so diverse that they will turn on each other faster than they can relate as a whole.

And if a black person admits the ugly truth of their own people in general or even statistically?

Some black person will make it their business to disown one of their own, and none of us are here to hang out with everyone. Most of us will never meet.

But Black people have been making Me sick of their sickness in masses.
Because they black asses aint trying to be a asset to their race.

And speaking of race?

*blank stare*


Who is it to say that black folks know the ONLY way to treat black folks better than they can do to each other honorably?

The ONE thing I will admit...

I may not say something that everyone will get with...
I may in fact say some shit that many will debate out of ignorance.
And there aint that many of us in these lifestyles anyway.

So on any given day I have to deal with some person of color coming out they mouth on some dumb shit like the shit I leave in print is some bullshit.
Just because from where they see it?
Something I say is some bullshit because they can't admit that they are as well read as I am enough to leave respect at the end of it..lol

Not that black folks are slow learners...

But Americans as a whole got this shit twisted.

From a world perspective.

Most black American people Have never traveled at least 10 thousand miles in their lifetime. And in most cases it was from one black cultural environment to another to visit family.

And our history is too vast for many of them to agree to compare history and not debate their own from what they have known all of their lives.

And just in case you forgot?

Some of us may be African Americans, but we are not Africans enough to have duel citizenship.

So few black people in this world are upper metaphysical thinkers just as every other race of people of the world.

I wish more people of color were conditioned enough to be able to relate more than debate just because you come from some culture that conflicts with the shit some other black person wrote.

Like this race shit...

Just because you can't get with some shit someone else is into?
Don't mean that you have to show your black asses in masses on some thread that fucked with your black mentality.

And too many black folks take shit others write personally.

And this shit is killing Me to not just have to see another sister or brother leave another example of reverse "Coonery" while they try to be seriously funny.

So in closing?

Making a long rant shorter than you would know...

The ONLY reason why I leave something from My viewpoint is just incase someone can take something that may make them grow.

Even if it makes no sense to someone.
If they are smart?

It should not matter what color you are.

But I am talking about black folks in general.

And POCs...

There is about a handful of any amount of us that can even be counted as the Kinky Americans.


That makes even minorities to small to even make a POC community.
But some of yall POCs be on some other shit.

But don't let THAT be the reason why too many of you are guilty of reverse "Coonery" than Me!

*evil stare*

I was raised Pro Black.
And child of very active parents in the civil rights movement and supporters of the Black Power Movement.

I gives a fuck about Kewl Points.

Not one damn word I typed was a lie.

I know My people better than most of them know themselves.

And I hate to have to admit it to too many of them around these parts...lol
They aint listening to a damn thing I say.

#### "Niggers and flys, niggers and flies. How I despise niggers and flies. But the more I see niggers the more I like flies..."

I love black people.
Black people are Me.
But one thing black people are not ready for...

Black People are not ready for the revolution.

Yet...

Watch the damn video.
*Pay attention to the white man on the right/left.*
How right were they when they planned to put all of us as Americans today?


If I have to be stuck in My faith during a time of prayer and fasting?
Because I want too.

I want to pray that there will come a day when more black people and people of color and of different faiths, will see further than their own noses.

And most of all I am gonna also pray that People of color will stop treating each other as if one or the other deserve less than the same respect they try to protect. Because that's all they know as who they are in this country.

Treat each other no less or no better than you would treat someone at face value of another color.

The miseducation of the Negro in America is proof enough that too many of us are not ready to deal with a different type of person of color having the same right to their opinion and the same honor to respect where they come from too. Even if it conflicts with you.


I love black folks too much to be forced to expect better from them.
And they don't understand what I'm talking about.

American Black History is more than just a memory that our reality too.

Let's take a trip into our recent past.

Back when we all learned how to give each other five...

...on the Black Hand Side.

And this time study the script in this trip back into our black history that now we have to respect as our history and not just a memory.








Before we had cell phones and CNN we had to pretend that we knew about Me and you.

And while we live today we try to say we know where we came from.

But not so long ago.
The history we used to know.
Was all we knew.
Before we knew there was all of you too.

Racism in The Marine Corps and in the Military.

This is more about history than it is about racism.

With the beginning of World War II African Americans would get their chance to be in “the toughest outfit going,” the previously all-white Marine Corps.  The first recruits reported to Montford Point, a small section of land on Camp Lejeune, North Carolina on August 26, 1942.  By October only 600 recruits had begun training although the call was for 1,000 for combat in the 51st and 52nd Composite Defense Battalions. 

Initially the recruits were trained by white officers and non-commissioned officers (NCOs) but citing a desire to have blacks train blacks, the Marines quickly singled out several exceptional black recruits to serve as NCO drill instructors.  In January 1943, Edgar R. Huff became the first black NCO as a private first class. In February Gilbert "Hashmark" Johnson, a 19-year veteran of the Army and Navy, became the first Drill Sergeant.  By May 1943 all training at Montford Point was done by black sergeants and drill instructors (DIs), with Johnson as chief DI.  Both Johnson and Huff would be renowned throughout the entire Marine Corps for their demanding training and exceptional leadership abilities.

The men of the 51st soon distinguished themselves as the finest artillery gunners in the Marine Corps, breaking almost every accuracy record in training.  Unfortunately, discrimination towards African American fighting abilities still existed and when shipped to the Pacific, the 51st and 52nd were posted to outlying islands away from the primary action.  The only Montfort Marines to see action, and record casualties, were the Ammunition and Depot Companies in Saipan, Guam, and Peleliu.  Private Kenneth Tibbs was the first black Marine to lose his life on June 15, 1944.

I'm posting this subject here after having found out a few uncomfortable things about many of the Dark Green Marines I have recently reconnected with on a few other sites who all seems to have the same issues with certain treatment from their commands on and around Cherry point.

Now, I also remember the stories of the Montford Point Marines and their struggles in the Corps and how this also relates to this subject.

The subject I'm speaking of is Racism in the Marine Corps.

And for over 20 years I kept a personal shame of having had such a short term in the Corps that ended at the Cherry Point. And it wasn't until I became reconnected with a few old Marine buddies from school and from My time on Cherry Points Base that I found need to reach out to others and ask if anyone else has noticed or heard of this kind of issue growing around the Marine Corps? Especially around the Coastal area of NC in or around Cherry Point.

Here was My story in short...

My miserable time was in Cherry Point right after finishing My training at Ft Bliss where I got busted in rank two stripes and a nice notch out of My pay for a charge from some grunt lifer sgt that I beat up (defending My gurlfriend's honor) off base and didn't know he was a Marine and he reported for duty and I was the duty... And there I was reporting for duty as a buck private only to find out that My racist ass top at school was best friends with the new top I got stuck with and he chewed Me a new asshole the first day reporting and gave Me hell every chance he got.

And to add insult to injury My girlfriend got married and I had to find out from her parents after we had made plans for her to move to NC with me and marry Me. And My image of that great life in the Corps was dying fast as My top and his boys played with the UCMJ so much that I had more article 15s than Chesty Puller. And then I found out that something sneaky with our weapons in the Armory with missing parts from rifles that had not been used by us and reported it and shit hit the fan some more. And then I broke My leg playing football and still had to walk Guard duty with a cast on, and My family was having personal troubles I could not deal with from that distance and I was getting mess duty and guard duty every holiday I was on base almost. And no matter how many maritoious(sp) masses I got I got busted for something. And that shit never let up and there was no jumping MOS's with the amount of money they put into My training.

So it all ended with Me having to fight a court marshal that ended with Me having a choice of putting My top and damn near the whole food chain all the way up to Master sgt on charges after they found out about all the treatment I had recorded and them leaving Me back on base unsupervised during a NATO exercise in Navada. And I had two choices...

Court Marshal My chain of command and try to stay in one of two places I could be in My MOS or leave. And I didn't want to go but I had a critical MOS so I did. And they made My last days even more hell and even fucked up My paperwork to such a degree that I didn't even know what My discharge was until I got back to Atlanta... My car was stolen the day before I left and I was stuck with too much shit to fit on a Greyhound.

So let's just say that My most miserable time in the service was on cherry Point where right off base friends and family of many on base paraded in full uniform with the WPM(White Power Movement) and I never knew that in My SRB was the history of My family in the civil rights movement and I got stuck with some of the oldest racist asses in the corps in a unit that really never was useful in battle...lol

So I never did My 4 years by a few months.

And I wanted to live all My days in the Corps, until I woke up and found Myself back on the streets fighting the same shit I thought I was getting away from in the service.

The sunny side to all of this is all the people in question were made to retire instead of being court marshaled.

So I guess My story could be called a miserable time in Cherry Point and Havlock NC...lol

respect

"Please note that I did not try to personally call My treatment from many of the other Marines racist. But I always felt that it could not have been as bad as I found it in My journey in the Corps until lately as I started to find out from others similar stories like My own."

...

Now here is where I'm at now...

After talking to at least 5 Marines that I have reconnected with as of late. Each of them all had a similar issues and even similar discharges. ALL around the same era and time frame. And all but one were all attached to MAG28 during the 80's.

At least half of them were all rather contacted by CID or reported racial activity to CID or some form of JAG.

On Camp Lajune(sp) there was a report of Marines in uniform passing out flyers for a KKK and Local White Power meeting off base.

I personally had issue with a few "Light Green" Marines who actually had a KKK Robe in their locker that they removed only for inspection and personal use.

There was even a White Power celebration and parade in the city of Havlock that took place yearly right in front of the front gates of Cherry Point.

...

So I'm wondering if anyone has any memory of racial tension or even racist acts within the Marine Corps?

Not that it really matters...lol

But I have really been wondering about how known racism has been within the Marine Corps.

We ALL owe Uncle Tom a apology. And everyone we have ever called his name in vain.

My Grand Fathers family are from Locus Grove Ga.

His Brother was named Tom Harris. He was also the spiritual teacher for that area and everyone would gather on his land in the back of the house and have "church"... They called Him Uncle TH and not Uncle Tom because of the "Bad rap" the name Uncle Tom was associated with.

I remember as a child asking Him why He didn't like being called Uncle Tom and He said because that was a "Bad Word" for black people.

*blank stare*

Now this last comment reminded Me of a certain ignorance that our people (Colored folks as they called themselves back then) seemed to still suffer from today.

I read the book Uncle Tom's Cabin. And I was moved by Uncle Toms devotion to his people and his character in that Novel. And I wondered how and where at what point did the name of that character become offensive to POCs. And all I could find was TWO issues. Ignorance and the fact that Uncle Tom was of lighter skin. But nothing else. And I even did a search for more answers today and all I found was others who questioned the reason why Blacks and POCs considered the name Uncle Tom to be a insult after all this time we have had to research this issue and READ the actual book!

Turns out that the problem is the folklore that is more powerful than the facts within our own race. Because the Phrase "Uncle Tom" is STILL considered a offensive word used by other blacks and POCs against each other.

And then I reflect back to My family back in the "Country" and the words and the image of My Uncle TH when He told me of that meaning. And I think of the amount of pain and ignorance that My own people have put each other through to such a degree that we can't even understand the importance of that book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and it's influence on the WORLD at that time and the American people as well as blacks and POCs. THAT BOOK was one of the most POWERFUL Novels of it's time and was even noted as one of the influences that made the World view of this country's history and treatment of blacks and POCs in this country ring the alarm for protest of this country and even caused the call for Civil War. The Book it's self was outlawed in this country for a while and the image of Uncle Tom was manipulated to such a degree that even black folks and POCs who had the chance to LEARN the TRUTH about that folklore did nothing still to this day. And That Book is a very important part of our history too. And it shows that all the images of slavery during that time were not all ugly and we were not all useless and powerless even in slavery.

I remember a few college educated black folks use that word against Me in a discussion about our history that got heated over My impression of our history and their emotional instinct to find nothing good about our past. And even as I questioned had they READ the actual book Uncle Tom's Cabin and if they knew the history behind the book all they did was shut down and consider Me less than a honorable black Man in their yes.

I now relate that conflict with the same issues I have had with many of the so called educated blacks and POCs on this site and around the net who seem to have the same bigoted traits towards others who don't agree with their ignorance and emotional traits that are connected more to folklores they know very little about more than they care to find they may be Mis-educated.

I live in a city that was a focal point to the Underground Railroad and the first point of freedom for many in slavery. In a city built by both slaves and free blacks and POCs who are all on record for their contribution to this country's growth and history. Some of which is still unknown or ignored by many who claim to be educated to some degree. And many of them graduated from HBCU's without common knowledge of their own history enough to not consider our past as painful as they think and feel.

I remember being called a Uncle Tom by a black educated person for telling them that blacks fought on the side of the Confederacy and were Republicans in the south before the Civil war. And I was shocked at their ignorance as well as their consideration of being more educated enough to be right without having to do the research.

So when I read the title of this thread?

I think about how much and how little many people especially Americans know about their own history and the history of WHY race is such a big issue between so many people in this country.

And if you were to ask anyone who has a issue with racism "why" and how did it get to such a painful emotional instinct. The ONLY thing that can say is because that is what they were taught.

And then I wonder to Myself. What was My Uncle TH teaching all of them Colored Country people back int that day. And what effect did it have on the people today and how they deal with race and each other.

And why is race still such a issue to many people who never suffered the amount of racism that was penned as being racism in America.

And all I can come up with is ignorance is what ignorance does.

Here's one of the best post I have read on this subject...

http://evz-yoyo.blogspot.com/2009/08/irony-of-uncle-tom.html

The Irony of Uncle Tom.

Boy, Uncle Tom's Cabin has really gotten a bad rap.

Many Black folks cringe when the subject is brought up.
Not to say that Black folks are so literary, whether they hail from the Ivy league or the ghetto, that their taste for fiction has lead to a unanimity in distaste for the 19th century work.
Far from that. The main ingredient in their taste is the name of the book and it's connotation to kow-towing Blacks.

I can speak personally about that same feeling for it resided within me.
I've always been hesitant about the book.
As an analogy, it's as if I had never tasted honey and for the first time, I stood by a beehive in a net mask, as angry bees buzzed and attempted to sting and kill me, as a tender pulled honeycomb from deep within the bowls of the insects lair and then implored me to taste the golden sap of the bees vomitus.
Well, taste I have, and I love it.
Harriet Beecher Stowe's book is much the same.
What on the surface may appear, sound like and feel racist, is but the most sweet delicacy of thought and exposition.

I never really understood the role of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the history of the United States.
It was always included in discussions of abolitionist movements, and as a seminal piece, but the impression formed within my mind was that this novel was blaxploitation, and that it's success was, rooted in the same vein as minstrel shows, stepin fetchit, hattie mcdaniel, bill bojangles robinson and a host of other negative depictions of Blacks.
Seeing drawings from the book, or posters, they were all in a manner of Black supplication to Whites.
Uncle Tom is often pictured with a young white girl, much the same as "Uncle Remus"
And there you have it. The old, aged, supplicating, Black slave, and the golden, beautiful flower of humanity, White girl.
There is much more to the relationship, but just as a picture tells a thousand words, the words of love and love of Christ were not words told in that picture.

The folks who have damned Uncle Tom, could have chosen another character to hold forth as a champion of the novel. They could have chosen Eliza's husband George.
Light skinned from several generations of plantation rape and sexual exploitation of Black women,
George was proud, held himself in a princely manner, was intelligent, industrious, proud and willing to fight to the death in order to achieve his freedom. A man who once he got his freedom, he relocated to France with his family and earned a College education. Then returned to America with his family before heading off to Liberia to take part in the great experiment of creating a free, new and world recognized nation and home to a new generation of Black power and self-sufficiency. This man was a production of Harriet Beecher Stowe's immense faculties, and he was a model for the future coming of Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. DuBois, A. Philip Randolph, Marcus Garvey, Paul Robeson, Robert F. Williams, E.D. Nixon, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King and Huey Newton.

And yet in this, many Blacks could find fault. For his light skin would be seen as a commentary on his intelligence and worth, despite the fact that George himself states his own wish that he were "two shades darker, rather than another shade lighter". A man who was Black, suffered as a Black and was proud and loving of his Blackness. Yet in this character, Stowe did not use him to comment on in-race hierarchies. He was a man, complete and whole and an undeniable product of years of the parallel track of sexual bondage and sex trade of Black women that sat squarely and equally protected within the evils of Slavery itself. how many Blacks in the south, after 200 years of rape and sexual exploitation, did not have White blood? Was there not much debate about the "percentage" of blood that made one Black? 1/32nd Black was "Black" that's if you had a single Black great-great-great-great-grandfather... And bottom line, if your mother was "Black" it made no difference, you were a slave. Surely there were probably many children that were so white in appearance, that it would have been "unconscionable" to place them in the field among those that look obviously Black. but such occasions were rare. There are more than a handful of U.S. Presidents that have had offspring with Black mothers and it is alleged that 5 U.S. Presidents (not counting Barack Obama) were African Americans.

And so race, is the history of the United States.

I assumed that the books popularity and oblique role in abolitionism was in perhaps the anger and rage it caused within abolitionist.
I didn't understand it fully.

My curiosity has been in this way pricked and sedated over the years.
I was ok with the book, and it's legacy being so closely identified with the black struggles and sufferings during slavery.
None of us had any choice in it's history.

But reading Frederick Douglas' "My Bondage, My Freedom" he spoke in a neutral tone about Uncle Tom's Cabin." He may have praised it a bit. He did not shrink from it, nor feel offended by it. The subject matter was distasteful, but it seemed more from the subject matter itself, rather than the perspective or wounds inflicted by the piece.

And so, If Frederick Douglas, as intelligent, acute of mind, a former slave, and leader of the Black abolitionist movement, was fine with Uncle Tom's cabin, then what right have any present day Blacks to object? In fact, it would seem that the proper course would be to read the book.

And read it I did.

could a more beautiful book be written?
In the world there are in truth, two kinds of books.
Truth and Fiction.
In my experience the most powerful Truth has come from those who have survived incredible situations, such as memoirs from Treblinka, Sudan, slave narratives, shipwrecks, natural disasters, people against the odds who miraculously survived. In these stories, the only thing to be done, is to tell the tale. circumstance provides all the drama. The experience is the setting. The task, is to survive. These stories are the most powerful. Not the dramatized.

"Uncle Tom's Cabin" captures the power of such truth and tells a story built upon innumerable stores of Truth, reinterpreted and woven together, by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Her intent, her history, her family, the time, the circumstance, the reception and it's importance all play but minor roles to the overwhelming beauty and skillfulness of the prose.

All of which adds up to the inescapable conclusion that to call someone an "Uncle Tom" is so completely backwards and misbegotten to the Truth of Uncle Tom.

Even the Title, "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is a reference to a line by George Shelby, a soon to be ex-slave owner, who frees his slaves, and allows them to work for wages, free from the capriciousness of death and re-sale. He tells them to look upon the cabin of Uncle Tom and let it forever be a memorial to the man, his beauty, his immense love and faith, as well as the preciousness of freedom.

All of this must be contrasted with the reality that today, to be called an Uncle Tom is to be called less than a man..
in reality, Uncle Tom was Christ-like.
He endured his fate like Christ.
refusing to do wrong. refusing to hate, refusing to betray trust and loyalty. shielding others, being selfless, and always in the bountiful grace of his lord and savior.

Uncle Tom is surely one of the most beautiful, moral and meek martyrs there ever was or could be.
He in fact gave his life and was beaten to death for not divulging the whereabouts of two female runaway slaves.
He even told his "Masser Legree" that he knew where they were, but the regardless of what happened, he could not, would not ever betray them. and for this he was beaten to death. and with his dying breath, he forgave his attackers and prayed to God for their salvation.

And now we call "Uncle Tom's" the guys who have the exact opposite of the qualities of the original.

And Harriet Beecher Stowe, hastened the end of slavery and struck one of the mightiest, if not the mightiest blow against the entire system of slavery. A staunch abolitionist, daughter of a preacher, sister of a preacher, from a family of abolitionist. she did everything she could to lay the thing bare.

This book was the second best selling book in the United State in the 19th Century, right behind the bible. You'd be hard pressed to find any book, by any author, written at any time that was more respectful, more praising of Blacks, more condemning of slavery than Uncle Tom's Cabin.

it is truly an irony, that as we've matured in the battle against discrimination, we have trampled this holy book underfoot, and declared it a racist artifact, despite it's power, it's beauty, it's intention and the vast work that it achieved in the struggle for freedom.

And if there could be any doubt in the minds of any as to the motivation, intent, truth, morality and ethics of the author, then they should forsake the reading of the book, and read chapter forty-five (45) the last chapter. There, plain and simple, is where the truth lay for all those who have any desire to know of it, and once having read it, there should be no need for speculation, interpretation, analysis, debate or deconstruction.

The real issue now is not who is at fault for the mis education of not just the negro but of the American people?

But HOW are we going to Re educate the American populace who now suffers from the ignorance of a mis quoted history of their own past?

respect

Have we come too far to forget where we came from today as a people?

This year has been more than just a image of extreme change.

For many of us in America.

We have witnessed a change in what this country has been fighting to become.

More equal for all people to feel we all belong too, in the title of an image of "We the People" that is stated in our constitution that our fore fathers proclaimed as all that is fair and holy as a country united.

And in the past 70 years our history has been reformed from a image of racial divide to the true melting pot that this country has become respectfully.

While many of us have varied views of the memory and the struggle and politics of the past 70 years of changes and the dedication and sacrifice of so many for a common goal that has only as of late shown some form of positive results or not depending on the individual.

The proof is in the reality we all are now living closer together as a country.

I am not saying that we have become a more perfect union of sorts as a country.

But we have grown to become more perfect than we all were more than 70 years ago as a nation united and not as divided as before.

And in the past 70 years or so many people have fought and died for a dream that has become more of a reality today than ever before.

But I wonder...

Have we forgotten about so many who sacrificed so much to get us thus far?

Have we forgotten how far we have come in so little time?

Have we lost hope in our own growth today by forgetting how long it has taken for us to have the amount of change we now live with as a people?

Have we lost respect for the consideration that so many generations before us wished we did much more with so much we have now that we seem to still feel powerless as to what we still need to be fighting for?

Have we lost the ability to feel like we belong to a struggle that is just as needed today as it was 70 years ago?

Have we become ungrateful and unthankful for what we have thus far that so many have struggled and died for us to continue a fight that now has become uninteresting?

Have we become inconsiderate of the sacrifices so many others have made for us to be who we have become today?

Have we considered there is no debt to be repaid to our fore fathers who gave and lost so much for a freedom we now share with others who are just as inconsiderate?

I wonder about these questions and so many more like them while I watch and read so many opinions from so many others whom would not have such a voice or freedom of choice that now seem to have become more complaints as to why they feel they should have more than what they have as of late.

Many of you who now spew political views as if your views are being ignored by many others who all had less of the ability to be considered important enough to be allowed to vote less than 70 years ago.

Many of you who scream foul at the sight of racism and bigotry that was once common place and more extreme.

Yet, you do very little other than complain as a mass of people who have yet taken a torch passed on from pass generations of people who gave more for a struggle that many of you are ungrateful in your actions and deeds thus far.

Many of you think that we have grown more worthy of a freedom we have yet to build into something worth being free for. As if it has become your right to complain more than continue to fight for equality for all of us as Americans and not just for your own personal comfort and concerns.

What can you point too as repayment for what so many others gave you thus far?

Have you given enough to earn as much of a rest that many seem to be taking as not your fight anymore?

Have you forgotten or even shun the power that has been given you for the fear of not being able to do anymore than what you have done thus far?

Have YOU come this far to forget why YOU are here now?


So what's your next move?

As I was reading a very interesting book about the struggle of My people. And how they organized and formed tactics and connections to combine forces for the greater goal of getting us this far in our history.

I started to wonder why are we now doing so little to improve on what we have thus far and why we seem to not be concerned as to why the need for us all to continue to struggle together for a greater good seems to not be as important.

Maybe some of you will better understand what I'm talking about if you too choose to read this book as well.

We Will Return In The Whirlwind: Black Radical Organizations 1960-1975

http://www.akpress.org/2007/items/wewillreturncloth


I seldom read anything from many of the people who post on a regular about so many of todays issues anything about the importance of us picking up the torch left by so many great people who gave their lives in the struggle for more of the freedoms we indulge in now.

So what's your excuse?


Why do you not question yourself and offer more of yourself to a greater good than what we still suffer from today together?


We all have the power and the duty to do more than what we have thus far.

What do you fear?

Are you free enough as you are today?

Old guard vs The Next generation of adult lifestyles and the future of our history?

I have been struggling with how to civilly submit this issue in a public realm without causing even more drama between many of the lifestylers already including Myself.

But I really don't see many ways of presenting this subject in My own words. And I hope that I post a few words from a very respected Historian and Elder of the black and POC old guard realm as input enough to start some form of "hopefully civil" dialog on this subject.

First this article...

From Black Leather in Color 6 11-97

Old Guard New Guard

The Sash season has formally ended for the year. 1997 has produced a bumper crop of title-holders of color. The S/M, Leather, Fetish world has acknowledged leatherfolk of color as a viable presence.

I got the chance to talk to two fine sash bearers when my leather family was in New Orleans. The conversation turned to what they were going to do during their title year. One responded that he wanted to reach our to more leather folk of color, but was having trouble finding them. His friend echoed the sentiment. I couldn't help but inquire as to where each of them thought they might find more new converts to our lifestyle. The answers; leather clubs, bars and conferences.

Were these two young men reaching out to "convert the saved"? I think so. Many of the organizations that are now represented in the leather/fetish family are echoing the same concerns." Where do we find our next leather generation".

As leathermen and women of color, that question may be even more important. For too many years there was a noticed absence of non-white faces on the sexually liberated horizon. Although there are many, many more of us than there have ever been before (including clubs and information exchanges that address the needs of non-white leatherfolk) there are not enough new faces being seen.

The sexually free leather adults of the 90's are a very different breed than what my generation was. When I came out into leather I was content to learn by the standards of the previous generation. Don't get me wrong, I am proud to be Old Guard. Their hands on mentoring taught me skills, history, pride and honor. But todays generation isn't playing by Old Guard rules. As a matter of fact, they are making up new rules as they go along.

20 Years ago you came out as a bottom or top under the tutoring eye of a mentor who awarded you your leather stripes. The roles were rigid and unquestioned. This generation says "I can be anything I want that feels good. Top, bottom, switch, bi-sexual, fetishist. Why pigeon hole myself. I want it all." And ALL often means things that we hadn't even thought of.

We dinosaurs, (myself included on occasion) breathe deeply, and back away shaking our heard and wishing for the good old days. When we are asked to instruct, too often our knowledge comes with the condition of "my way or the highway". The result; less and less young leathermen are asking the questions that need to be asked about safety, skills, who they are, and where they came from. Worse, they are not becoming members of the institutions that have been the foundations of the leather lifestyle.

The experiences we so jealously guarded have become main stream. The activities we only did at parties, our new generation is doing on the dance floor. Techniques once only practiced by an accomplished top are now being taught (?) in cyberspace and applied with only the knowledge that comes from books, magazines and chat rooms. There has to be some adjustment here.

The previous generation has an obligation to pass on its knowledge, or those that follow will forever be reinventing the wheel. But if we keep insisting that those who come after us do it our way or not at all we too will become fossilized in the leather version of the Tarpits.

I started this editorial off because I was worried about the next leather generation of color. Tell me readers, have the very people we seek been turned away from our clubs and contests because we are viewed as inflexible? Do those of us with knowledge and history to pass on (and that's damned near all of us with 7 or more years of experience) take our toys and go home because "We just don't understand THEM". Is it that the New Guard is right under our nose and we are too unyielding and self possessed to realize that these new kids really have some good ideas, they just need someone who will reach out and offer a little guidance.

We dinosaurs have to realize that the New Guard is Here To Stay. We better realize it soon or there is a chance that "The Scene" as we know it WON'T BE.

I respect this woman like I respect My mother!

I have met her and enjoyed her library and her tour of her private collection of black erotic history and her hugs!

And although I am not of the Old Guard Leather legacy, I wish to respect what I can of what it was and what it has become.

But here is the issue...

Many of the people who now claim to bare the responsibility to carry the history into the future of what many of us wish to call these lifestyles are NOT painting a very respectable image of elders and trained craftsmen and women of this type of lifestyle to many of the NEW GENERATION.

blank stare

And much of their history that has been passed on with pride is now being with held from many of us who only see the actions and attitudes of many others who treat that lifestyle as a permission to judge others and talk down to other newbies for the sake of being considered elite and even cliquish.

Now I know that some of yall will consider this a insult, but let's keep it real here.

What are you really doing to show and prove that your history is worth the respect you demand over others who don't know who your are or why you feel the need to treat everyone else as kids or pawns to be played with for your own selfish indulgence.

Who are you to think you are really impressing while so many new generations of black and POC newbies are finding the need to shun many of you for the need of their own safety and sanity within these lifestyles?

I have watched many of us newbies watch many of you fight and bicker over who should be the king or queen of a empire that is suffering at your own hands as you blame many of us for not feeling your type of respect for who we are that is not like many of you.

We all don't have to like each other, but we should respect each other more than we are being treated with the common respect for what these lifestyles should be respected as to all of us and not to a few of you who have grown older and bitter as to the image of these new generations in these lifestyles who do not respect much of anything or anyone as they enter this realm of adult lifestyles.

So I leave many of you with the quote:

Don't blame the messenger...

wicked grin

"When the message is being lost in translation and the lack of respectable examples from our elders who seem to not be concerned for the future of these lifestyles over their own personal personality conflicts with the youth."

Each one teach one is not cutting it. And if it takes a village to raise a child? Then the kinky community at large is NOT doing a very good job raising better and more respectable kinky children.

And that is a damned shame, but a reality that many of us of the next generation of kinky blacks and POCs as well as everyone else have to face with many of you who seem to be just fine with watching so many of us miss out on what this lifestyle was taught to many of you older lifestyle people.

And that's where My head is at right now.

Wondering when We will see any of you step up and do more tha bitch about who should not talk to who while you try to enjoy what many of you have left as what you had more of before you was given the so called torch of enlightenment.

Race and the left coast. Respecting Wattstax...

The Staple Singers was a group and not just Pops and the two chicks singing...lol

But this song, when performed, was unbelievable...



["Respect Yourself" The Stax Live version]


What I loved about the presentation of this song and it's images that accompanied the performance was the TIME and the memories....

So may have the CD or the DVD but NOTHING compared to the feeling of being in a theater as this Move and this scene played in a smoke filled theater...watching the concert of a lifetime.

Respect Yourself...


If you disrespect anybody that you run in to
How in the world do you think anybody's s'posed to respect you
If you don't give a heck 'bout the man with the bible in his hand
Just get out the way, and let the gentleman do his thing
You the kind of gentleman that want everything your way
Take the sheet off your face, boy, it's a brand new day

Respect yourself, respect yourself
If you don't respect yourself
Ain't nobody gonna give a good cahoot, na na na na
Respect yourself, respect yourself

If you're walking 'round think'n that the world owes you something cause
You're here you goin' out the world backwards like you did when you
Put your hand on your mouth when you cough, that'll help the solution
Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names and you
Dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol man


...


Yall aint ready...lol

Because many of us in that movie theater on the East coast wasn't ready to see black folks do this either...




[THIS IS HOW IT GOT STARTED] and then a party started. And then a riot almost broke out. And this was Watts Stax... The Black folks Woodstock!

And who said that black folks didn't like funky chicken?
