The white fascist attack on Black femininity (Part 3)...Netflix's "Nappily Ever After", #teamnatural, Instagram, Sanaa Lathan, and Sinead O'Connor's traumatic childhood...


Sinead Marie Bernadette O’Connor (left) was born on December 8th, 1966 in Glenageary, Ireland, and was named after Sinead de Valera, wife of Irish President, Eamon de Valera. Sinead’s parents are Sean O’Connor, who was a structural engineer, later turned barrister, and Marie O’Connor.

A few years after Sinead was born, Sean separated from Marie, and they both agreed to leave the children in care of their mother. Now, Sinead in her later years, would go on to describe the horrific and torturous living conditions enforced by Marie. In fact, the abuse exacted on Sinead was so extreme, that at age 15, she left her mother’s home to live with her father. Unfortunately, the dysfunctional nature of Sean’s home combined with the damage that was done by Marie, resulted in Sinead turning to a life of school truancy and shoplifting, that resulted in her being committed to an institution called the “Magdalene Asylum”. And mind you, the Magdalene Asylum was notorious for its abuses towards their patients—and this is most notably documented in the movie “The Magdalene Sisters”.

Fortunately, this facility provided Sinead with a stable enough environment to pursue her musical endeavors. An example of this, was a female volunteer of the Magdalene Asylum hearing Sinead sing a cover of the Barbara Streisand song, “Evergreen”, who would later introduce Sinead to her brother, and this volunteers brother, just happened to be in a band called “Tua Nua”. Sinead recorded her first song with them, but ultimately, wasn't allowed to joint the group ‘cause she was just 15. Regardless, it was this experience that led her to put an ad in the “Hot Press” musicians’ magazine, which turned into a meeting with Colm Farrelly—and with him, Sinead created another group called, “Ton Ton McCoute”. Now, with this band, audiences got to see how talented a singer Sinead really was.

Sinead’s time with Ton Ton McCoute got her noticed by music industry executives. One of which, got her a deal with “Ensign Records”. There, she got a manager who had her sing the lead vocal for a song called “Heroine”, on the soundtrack of the film, “Captive”. This led to Sinead recording her first album, “The Lion and the Cobra”, which was called a “sensation” by the music press, after its release in 1987. The album reached gold status and earned her a “Best Female Rock Vocal Performance” Grammy nomination. Beyond that, the album’s single “Mandika”, was a hit on college radio stations in america (and this is when I first became aware of her), and another of her songs, “Troy”, became a hit in europe, where it reached no. 5 on the Dutch Top 40 music charts.  

Mind you, what made Sinead stand out, just as much as her talent, was her close cropped, shaved hairdo.

Now, let’s stop here a sec’, ‘cause I’m guessing people are saying to themselves, bruh—what the heck does this have to do wit’ any white fascist attack on Black femininity? And I’ll answer that in a minute, but before I do, let’s get into this…

On September of last year, Sanaa Lathan released an Instagram post, after shaving her head, for the lead role in the Netflix movie, “Nappily Ever After” (left). And in 2018, this movie came out—I guess—and I say that, cause I’ve neither seen this movie, nor do I plan to. And it’s not because I disagree wit’ the hairstyle, it’s ‘cause I see the white fascist agenda behind it.

Now, fast forward to January of this year, and the release of Marvel’s “Black Panther” movie. This film’s portrayal of the “Dora Milaje” (the female warriors guarding King T’Challa), wearing this hair style is being aggrandized to influence more Black women to accept and adopt it. And without further ado, let me tell you why, if you’re a Black woman reading this, you should think twice and three times before you make the “Big Chop”, as they say.

Now, the reason why Black women should give pause to wearing any kinda crew-cut of a hairdo, comes down to this: one of the physical features that makes women feel innately feminine, is long hair. And thats true whether a woman realizes it or not. Meaning what? It means, the overwhelming majority of women, will find that cutting your hair off like this, can be traumatizing.

And let me break this down even further….

The first thing both men and women think, when they see a female with extremely short, closed cropped hair is, this woman is afflicted with some sort of physical or mental illness.

PERIOD.

And in the wake of the Black Panther movie, whitey’s workin’ overtime to sell this bogus narrative of empowerment through cuttin’ off all your hair, to Black women. Now, if you’re a Black woman reading this, you might be thinkin’, bruh, this is just your opinion—besides, I see plenty of white women rockin’ this hair style. Well, here’s the difference between you and them—the white woman has the white privilege. Meaning, shes been given the stereotype of being the world’s prettiest female—and Black women don't have this kind of luxury.

Now, I want every Black woman reading this to understand what I’m NOT saying.

I am not saying that Black women aren’t as attractive as white women—and if you as a Black woman, can’t see how this white woman is trying to look more and more like you (lip and butt injections, hello…) then you’re just not paying attention. I’m saying that by european standards of beauty (i.e. whiteys own measure of beauty), white women are supposed to be the world’s prettiest females.

Now, what whitey’s doing, is trying to co-opt the pride that Black women are feeling behind wearing their natural hair (ala Instagram pages like “#teamnatural”), to say, the act of cutting off all your hair, equates to some measure of female empowerment. But you should note which hairstyle’s whitey’s not endorsing. Meaning, you don’t see Netflix executives, or any white TV or film execs for that matter, saying that Black women should have their hair in “locks”, or a “long natural”, that brothas and sistas used to call “afros”. No, he wants you to cut all your hair off!

Why?

So sistas can look hypermasculine.

And the more hypermasculine sistas look, the more whitey can keep ‘em in 3 states of being—which are: 1. well-paid, 2. oversexed, and 3. alone. And to break this further down, whitey knows that if they can keep Black women in the stereotype(s) of being abrasive, combative, and argumentative, he can keep them consuming more than any other kind of person on the planet.

Now, you may be thinkin’, I don’t see the connection—how would a Black woman’s being kept in these 3 states, make her the world’s greatest consumer? Simple: if Black women are kept outside the confines of long-term relationships, they’ll compensate for that lack of love by spending on various items—shoes, cars, cloths, food, travel, etc.

Now, you might be a Black woman that’s still thinking, bruh, your argument is bogus—besides, there’s no way you can prove a point this nebulous.

So, you want some proof?

Bet. 

To the left is a picture I took with my camera phone, when I visited my old college recently (and if you wanna' see this pic more clearly, you can click on it). Now, right off the bat, let me apologize for this pic’s lack of clarity and the reflections of light coming off it as well—and let me also say, one of the reasons for this photo’s blurred appearance, is the fact that these pics are behind a glass encasing. With that said, these are ads for the “Phi Theta Kappa” sorority, and the “Phi Beta Alpha” fraternity. And this photo’s oozing wit’ symbolism—so let’s go in on its decoding...

Now, for starters, I want you to check out how they’ve depicted the sista in this photo. And what’s the first thing you notice about herbesides her bitter countenance? Exactly, its her “armed forces” uniform. So, question: behind this Black woman wearing what looks like a military uniform, what conclusions are you gonna’ draw about her?

Answer: you’re gonna’ think, and mind you, whitey did this by design, that shes combative, abrasive, aggressive, and hyper-masculine—in other words, what’s being said here is…

Black women, especially in the case of them being with white men, shouldnt be considered for long-term relationships or marriage, they should only be thought of as sexual conquests.

Now conversely, look at the white guy in this photo. Notice he’s portrayed as some kinda’ smiling construction worker—meaning, he’s a happy, “working-class” caucasian—the kind no sista with a college degree should bother dating. But to all the Black women reading this, ESPECIALLY THE “SWIRLERS”, understand that this ad is saying 3 specific things to you directly—and they are…

#1. If you join this sorority, you have a better chance of gettin’ wit’ a white man—that’s the bait being offered here sistas.

#2. But if you choose to be with a white man, you shouldn’t expect to do any better than a “working-class” white guy.

#3. Regardless of how educated you as a Black woman are, the overwhelming majority of white men in this fraternity (and elsewhere) still think of you as being abrasive, argumentative, oversexed, and hypermasculine.

So, I’ve said all that to say this: if you’re a Black woman, don’t let whitey trick you into giving yourself one of these trauma-inducing, ultra-short hair cuts. Now, if you’re a Black woman who’s just looking to get noticed, so she can get more attention from men—then do whatcha’ feel. But, if you’re looking for a commitment from a man, in any kind of real relationship, understand, the average man is not after a masculine looking woman. Moreover, coupled with the stereotype of the “Angry Black Woman Syndrome”, this hairstyle is more likely to keep men avoiding, rather than approaching you.

Now, am I saying I’d rather see a sista in a weave?

HELL NO!

I’m saying, Black women need to use some discernment, when they see trends like the one to cut off all their hair. And if you put these messages, especially the one in the collegiate photo, into its proper context, you can see that whitey’s fascist agenda is meant to do one thing—hurt you, instead of help you.

Later…

P.S.

Now, this is the trailer for the Netflix movie, “Nappily Ever After”. And more than anything, I want you to notice the traumatized look on Sanaa’s face while she’s cutting off all her hair. And, when she sees herself in the mirror the next day, she screams, while a song lyric plays in the background saying, “I almost lost my mind…” Also, notice in one of the following scenes after “The Big Chop”, Sanaa is drinking beer with her woman friends in a bar—this is yet another attempt to make Black women look hyper-masculine, and to keep them in that stereotype.


P.P.S.

For all the Black women thinking that I’m just talking disparagingly about sistas with short hair, I want you to take a look at this vid of Grace Jones performing the song, “La Vie en Rose”. Now, even though Grace is supposed to be the poster woman for the hyper-masculine sista, here, her exquisite femininity is on full display. Meaning, regardless of her physical features not conforming to the white fascist status quo, the feminine wiles she uses to perform this song, make her nothing short of mesmerizing to watch—so hopefully, everyone can see that beautifully feminine energy is SPIRITUAL, NOT (NECESSARILY) PHYSICAL!


P.P.P.S.

Lastly, here’s Sinead O’Connor performing her song “Troy” live—and in it, you can see the rageful angst and previous traumas she was subjected to, in her performance, lyrics, and singing style. And once again, the trauma(s) she suffered, are the reasons she choose her buzz-cutted hairdo.

Why do so many gay men have model looks?


Now, before I start this post, let me make one thing emphatically clear…when I use the term ‘model looks’ in my description of gay men, I’m making reference to gay men who are ‘exceptionally good-looking’ by EUROPEAN STANDARDS OF BEAUTY.

So this is in no way an endorsement by me of physical features that conform to those standards. And in more layman’s terms, I’m saying that in no way do I deem long hawk noses, pale skin, icy blue eyes, pin thin lips and stringy blond hair as the epitome of beauty. To me nothing is more beautiful, especially on women, than dark, rich flawless-looking skin, full lips, warmly dark and soulful eyes, broad noses, ‘locked’ hair and the natural curves that grace the form of a Black woman.

So the last thing I want to do with this post is reinforce reasons why any Black man or woman should hate the way they look…especially citing the fact that white women now more than ever, are showing how much they envy the physical features of Black women.

And if you think that’s hyperbole, all you have to do is look at how white females are getting shots in their lips and butts to basically turn themselves into Black females. Now, for any brotha reading this, you should understand why white men are sporting bald heads like us, tanning their skin to look more like us and smoking cigars to make themselves look as genetically powerful as we are. This is the reason white men give out cigars when a baby’s born. It’s to legitimize that they’re sexual power or prowess is equal to ours. Cause they’ll never tell you this, but they all feel sexually inferior to us. And deep in their souls, they know we have the most genetic power to breed them out of existence.

Now with that said, let’s go in…

In 2010, the singer Ricky Martin said: “I am proud to say that I’m a fortunate homosexual man, I am very blessed to be who I am.”

He posted this on his website ‘RickyMartinmusic.com’ and also said that his twin sons bring him boundless amounts of joy. His direct statement was: “Everything they do, from smiling to crying, feels like a blessing. Being a father feels amazing. This has been the most spiritual moment in my life."

But what Ricky failed to realize is, natural ‘heterosexuality’ bought his sons into being (through surrogate motherhood), not his exalted homosexuality. So my question is: if he really feels being a father is so amazing, then you’d think he’d research ways to correct his sexuality. How could he reconcile being a proud father, when his sexuality prohibits him from having children?

But in today’s gender-confused american social order, elites have told everyone that you can basically have your cake and eat it too. Meaning, you can call yourself gay and have kids through (other peoples) normal heterosexual means. It’s kinda’ like being a gay christian. Even the dumb-founded George Bush jr. said: “I wonder which bible they’re reading?”

CNN news anchor Don Lemon published an autobiography in 2011 where he basically came out and said he was gay. His book, ‘Transparent’, talks about his sexuality in a way that he says is ‘inspirational’ to those like him. Oddly enough, he said he was most fearful of how the Black Diaspora would react to his revelation. And I’ve personally encountered some brain-washed Black men like him who pretty much put their homosexuality first and their ethnicity second.

Let me just say, I can’t understand how any Black man can be conditioned out of his common sense to those extremes. But then again, the white fascist social order looks more kindly on Black men who give up their masculinity, so any Black male wanting to be more palatable to whatever social order they’re in can always swap their manhood for an entrée into the social mainstream.

Cause if we just look at employment disparities, Don’s network CNN did a study where they found that white men who were felons got more call backs for jobs than Black men who had no criminal history at all. So Don’s coming out, calculated or not, can only help him stay in the good graces of white fascism.

Now, in the case of Shemar Moore, he hasn’t officially ‘outed’ himself yet, but if you look into his history, he’s known to travel in circles of homosexuals and transvestites in every town he touches down in. So it’s only a matter of time before the brotha, or half-bred brotha, cashes in his ‘gay chips’ to boost his commercial viability in Hollyweird.

Now, I can remember my freshman year of high school, where I watched a certain young brotha flirt continuously with other young men. I always shook my head at this, cause this fellow was light-skinned and had european-looking facial features that included a set of cool-colored eyes that one sista called ‘dreamy’, so I was like, why would he be gay when he could have any young woman he wants?

Then a couple of years after high school, I met a latin fellow named ‘Gil’ who was one of my co-workers in a book store. Now, this guy literally was trying to break into the modeling industry and I actually saw his headshot portfolio. And I also can attest to the fact that whenever he walked down the street almost every female head would turn. One day when I was going into the bookstore’s break room, I caught Gil kissing up on one of the store’s male workers. I just bolted outta’ there. And once again, I shook my head in disbelief thinkin’ damn, he could have any woman he wants, why the hell would he be gay?

And I think anyone reading this knows that nearly every male model and/or male stripper is a homosexual.

So let’s get down to what causes this.

The reason why so many male models, or men with ‘model looks’ are gay is because as young boys their exceptionally good looks (by european standards) made them prime targets for pedophiles.

So their first sexual encounter(s) with men traumatized them into believing that homosexuality was their natural sexuality.

Now, you might be thinkin’, c’mon bruh…there’s no way you can qualify that. To that I’ll say, look into the childhood of any homosexual person and you’ll find the trauma that made them sexually conflicted.

For instance, in 2010 Don Lemon confessed to being sexually victimized by a pedophile live on CNN while discussing the scandal surrounding Georgia Bishop Eddie Long. So this is no theory.

And the reason homosexuality is being pushed so hard in the Black Diaspora is again, Black men have the most genetic power to breed whites out of existence. So white fascists either want Black men to be gay or if we’re straight, they want us to marry and mate with white women so our offspring will have less of the genetic power we do to bring about the demise of their people.

Now, what I’m not saying is that gay men are intrinsically evil or morally obtuse because of their sexual victimization or orientation. What I am saying is when you come across one of these ‘good-looking’ gay men, you should feel more empathy than anger towards them. Cause you now know he was NOT BORN THAT WAY! AND NO ONE IS! He was victimized into that sexual orientation, and more than likely, he’ll never know what it’s like to operate in his natural sexuality.

Like I’ve said in the past, homosexuality is a ‘death-style’ not a lifestyle. But there is a cure for this ‘death-style’ if anyone reading this is interested in correcting and getting back to their natural sexuality.

And fortunately, the cure is the same for dealing with any other mental trauma. Anyone wanting to rid their psyche of a trauma must first consciously recognize the event that is causing some kind of character defect, and then subconsciously, they must recondition themselves out of that pain.

So, in Don Lemon’s case, he’d have to revisit the trauma he lived through, meaning, he’d have to see what happened to him and who it was that preyed on him consciously, then subconsciously, he’d have to create some kind of healing mantra to neutralize that pain. Then, he’d have to diligently repeat this mantra in his subconscious until he began seeing the results he desires.

Mind you, no one said this was gonna’ be easy. It would be hard as hell…but this method would not only take whatever character flaws have resulted from his trauma away, but it would correct his sexuality at the same time.

But the question is: Would Don ever commit to this?

I doubt Don ever really recognized his problem at subconscious levels, and if he did, I doubt he’d take on the challenge of putting in the kind of work necessary to correct his conflicted sexuality.

And there’s another hurdle…Don’s let the american social order convince him that he was born this way, even though he admitted to being sexually victimized as a child. So unfortunately for him, it’s check and mate…the game’s over.

But for anyone reading this who’s struggling with any kind of trauma, understand living with its effects is not an inevitability. We have psychic tools to help us master our minds and conquer these demons.

But again, it takes work to be victorious over these psychic maladies. And in the case of mainstreamed homosexuality, its victims are duped into believing that their sexual orientation is a life sentence.

So for anyone reading this, regardless of your sexual orientation, understand there’s no mental oppression that can’t be overcome by working it out in the subconscious. But you have to choose to do the hard work associated with winning out over whatever trauma ails you.

And this is your life we’re talking about people…so for your own future’s sake, choose wisely.

Later…
