The cult of gay white bigotry (Part 8)...

 The cult of gay white bigotry (Part 8)…How Dave Chappelle keeps his friends close and his enemies “closer”, and answering the question: what do the “Squid Game”, Planned Parenthood, COVID-19 vaccinations, and the LGBTQ community all have in common?

"...he was a very strong-willed, very powerful, passionate, proud man...a man like that was a menace from every conceivable angle-a walking phallic symbol, he was the culmination of the nightmare white people have in their heads when they talk about ‘the negro’."

-James Baldwin  

To the consistent (and patient) readers of this blog: Margaret Sanger was born on September 14^th, 1879 in Corning, New York, and she’s most remembered for being the activist, sex educator, writer, and nurse who opened America’s first birth control clinic, while also founding the organization which would become the “Planned Parenthood Federation of America” or “Planned Parenthood”.

Now, Margaret opened the first of these birth control clinics in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York City—and here’s a small hint as to why she chose this part of the country for the locale of her first office. Margaret, in a letter she wrote on December 10^th, of 1939 said, “…we do not want word to get out that we’re trying to exterminate the negro population.” So, this was the real agenda behind not only the Planned Parenthood organization but the FDA’s approval of the first “birth control pill” which was made available through these clinics in 1960.

The “National Black Justice Coalition” (NBJC), was founded on December 8^th, 2003 by eight Black Civil Rights leaders. The formation of this organization was announced during a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C., and this group was originally formed to challenge Republican led initiatives to amend the Constitution against “same-sex” marriages. However, what they really did was promote gay marriage in the Black community—thus, serving this agency’s true purpose, which is to promote the political interests of the Black gay (LGBTQ) agenda.  

Now, why am I mentioning this group? ‘Cause one of this agency’s sponsors just happens to be “Planned Parenthood”. Also, remember Margaret Sanger's letter which said she wanted to “exterminate negroes”? Welp, this particular letter was addressed to a “Dr. Gamble”—and this just happens to be the man who the company “Proctor & Gamble” is named for. Coincidentally, guess who just happens to be another sponsor of the NBJC? Yep, Proctor & Gamble.

Additionally fam’, as of late, I’ve been made aware of the Netflix TV series, “The Squid Game”, which is a survivalist drama from South Korea. Now, while I watched the trailer for this show, I was thinkin’, does anybody see the similarity between this and “The Hunger Games”? Mind you, there are obvious differences between this show and The Hunger Games, especially ethnically, but seeing this and other movies like “The Purge”, it brings me to one conclusion: what Planned Parenthood, the NBJC, the LGBTQ community, and these movies/TV shows all have in common is this: they’re ALL ABOUT DEPOPULATION Y’ALL!

Now, I can hear some of you sayin’, bruh, I know you wanna’ think this is only happening exclusively to Black people, but this agenda affects everyone, including white folks, so don’t go on any tangents about how this is only aimed at US. Welp, I won’t go on any wild tangents to prove this—I’ll just list “3” facts which’ll do it for me…

Fact#1.

Margaret Sanger

Now, since I’ve mentioned Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood before, I think it’s best to start here: In 1939, Margaret created an initiative called the “Negro Project”. This was a plan to place Black doctors at her clinics to gain the trust of our communities while carrying out her eugenicist plot to abort our children, and/or, sterilize Black mothers. Now, I want you to note, Sanger didn’t call this the “Poor white”, or “Latino”, or “Asian” Project—she called it the “Negro Project”. So, this was aimed squarely at US.

Fact#2.

Genetics

By 2050, the majority of Americans WILL NOT BE wHITE—and for the last several decades, white birth rates (globally) have fallen below replacement levels. Meaning, white people have less than a century to remain on this planet—and Black people have the most genetic power to breed whites out of existence. Need I say more? This is not only why whitey’s turned the world upside down wit’ this fake “P(L)andemic”, but it’s why white fascism is throwing every depopulating method at US more than anyone else.

Fact#3.

 Africa’s COVID testing

Last year, Tanzania, Africa’s former president, John Magufuli, who held a doctorate in Chemistry, was suspicious about the veracity of his country’s COVID-19 lab tests. So, he conducted an experiment where he took DNA samples from a goat, a sheep, and a papaya (fruit), and submitted them with human names for COVID testing—and guess what? These DNA samples came back POSITIVE FOR THE COVID-19 VIRUS!

So understand, when I say the white fascist bull’s eye is on the back of Black people, this ain’t a theory. Now fam, let’s be like our African brotha John so we can flesh out the foul-nature of what’s goin’ on wit’ sexually-conflicted white folks tryna' cancel Dave Chappelle’s comedy. In other words, let’s deep dive into the main part o’ this post y'all…

—MontUHURU Mimia

Now, if you’re reading this, I’m pretty positive you’ve either seen or heard about the controversies surrounding Dave Chappelle’s last Netflix special, “The Closer”. Seems like the gay community, with an emphasis on the “trans” mafia, have gotten their collective panties in a bunch over what Dave had to say about them in his comedy act. Funny enough, pun intended, it seems to me like he’s gone out of his way to accommodate the feelings of this sexually-conflicted coterie. Still, they're dead set on “cancelling” this intrepid and innately ingenious brotha, to the point where some of these ambiguously –gendered types are leaving their jobs at Netflix in protest of the points Dave was making. Moreover, when Dave closed his show by asking the alphabet soup crew to, “…stop punching down on my people.”, they got especially upset, ‘cause not only do they see themselves as an oppressed minority, but they think they should be beyond reproach because of this “status”.

So, seeing as how you’ve probably heard all the accusations being lobbed at Dave from the LGBTXYZ types, what I’d like to do is list “3” dilemmas within their community which, in my opinion, they need to address more than whatever jokes Dave has made about their sexual deviations, I mean, orientations. So, let's start wit’…

Dilemma#1.

Domestic Violence

Same sex relationships suffer more instances of domestic violence than heterosexual ones. In the case of lesbian relationships, the incidence of violence is as high as 55%. So, there’s a significant need for queer folk to find solutions which can end this problem in their community.

Now, “academics” and queer therapists/analysts say the reason for this high rate of violence  is due to the pressures of being oppressed by mainstream society, or the fear of being “outed” by partners and/or lovers. Welp, here’s the truth of the matter fam, even though it’s not politically correct to say this, homosexuality is the result of a childhood trauma. Period. Now, of course there’s gonna’ be people who read this and say, this is just one more case of you homo/trans/gay/queer-phobics, attempting to denigrate our humanity. So to this I say, fam, don’t take my word for it, do your own research--if you check the history of any homosexual person, you can bet money you’ll find the childhood trauma which “turned them out”.

Mind you, I want everyone to understand what I’m NOT SAYING—I’m not telling anyone homosexuals are intrinsically evil or predisposed to any and every kind of moral obtuseness. I’m saying, the reason this community is so plagued with domestic violence is, the majority of these people came from unstable and abusive households, thus, they’re incapable of creating stable and loving homes themselves. You attract what you are. Ultimately.

Dilemma#2.

Black appropriation and acceptance

I remember seeing a picture of a “gay pride” march, where several white men and women held a huge sign saying, “We too have a dream”. This of course is referencing Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech. Also, I remember watching a lesbian author’s book signing where a gay white man asked, “Why don’t Black people accept us as an oppressed minority?” So basically, the gay community, the gay white community especially, is waiting for Black people to equate our struggles with theirs. Although, they’d never consider this one fact, which is…

BLACK PEOPLE DON’T HAVE A CLOSET TO HIDE IN!

What white gays will never admit is, they can hide their sexuality, Black people can’t hide our ethnicity—thus, their “struggle” will NEVER BE THE SAME AS OURS!

Topping this off, white gays basically wanna’ have their cake and eat it too, meaning, they wanna’ have all their white privileges while being able to pass themselves off as an oppressed minority. It kinda’ reminds me of when I watch white women talk about how much they couldn’t stand Donald Trump, when the majority of them voted for him—TWICE!

Dilemma#3.

Dating Discrimination

Now fam, I was gonna’ talk here about how white gays like the late Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Buck got away with killing Black gay men indiscriminately for years because of their white privileges--but instead, I wanna’ show you a short vid’ of how white gays discriminate against Black gays in the UK. Also, I wanna’ show everyone reading this, how our brothas and sistas across the Atlantic are dealing with the same kinda’ racism we deal with here in the States--even though we’re told how “liberal” white Europeans are. So, check out this "BBC" clip, which documents a club and some of its patrons on a night which specifically caters to the Black and "Asian" LGBTQ demographic.

The Gospel of white fascism (Part 60)...

 The Gospel of white fascism (Part 60)…Melvin Van Peebles: memorializing an American Icon, debunking Jada Pinkett’s case of the "Ayesha Curry blues", and decoding Lizzo's lascivious "Ted" twerk lecture…

“I wanted (my) people to leave the theater with their heads up.”

—Melvin Van Peebles, In an interview explaining his inspiration for creating the movie, “Sweet Sweetback’s Badass Song”

“Self-sabotage is like a game of mental tug-of-war. It is the conscious mind vs. the subconscious mind where the subconscious always eventually wins.”

—Bo Bennett, Social Psychologist

“I really wanna’ learn how to love…I know what it isn’t.”

—Jada Pinkett, "B-list" actress and host of "Red Table Talk"

“...my ass is my greatest asset."

—Lizzo, Ted Talk

To the consistent (and patient) readers of this blog: Family, once again, being back-logged with content, I’ve run into the dilemma of needing to tackle several subjects at once. Meaning, one mo’ time, I’m gonna’ ask for your kind indulgences as I wax philosophic on timely topics and endeavor to decode a coupla’ issues which have made news as of late. Mind you, the common thread tying all these “stories” together is one unifying principle—and what’s this you ask? Welp, before answering this question, lemme acknowledge an ancestor and then I’ll deep dive into deciphering the aforementioned query with a “3” part expose which’ll make the latest bout of political theater (TV news) a bit more transparent. This said, lemme start by giving props to the iconic Renaissance man…

Melvin Van Peebles

Melvin Van Peebles was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 13th, 1932. He was the son of Edwin Griffin, who was a professional tailor, and Marion Peebles. Melvin graduated with a B.A. in Literature from Ohio Wesleyan University, and shortly thereafter enlisted in the Air Force, where he ended his service after three and a half years—also, he added the “Van” to his name while living in the Netherlands in his late 20’s.

After leaving the Netherlands, Melvin worked as a Cable Car Driver in San Francisco, California. There, he wrote about his on-the-job experiences and put them into a book titled, “The Big Heart”, credited to “Melvin Van”. While on the job, a passenger suggested Melvin try his hand at being a filmmaker. Hence, with no experience at all, Melvin went about the task of teaching himself the art of filmmaking.

In the midst of making himself an auteur, Melvin was given an opportunity to continue his academic studies in the Netherlands. So, while in the process of moving back to Europe, he ran into Amos Mogul, who founded the avant-garde, “Cinema 16” film company, and after a long talk, Amos agreed to put Melvin’s short films into his company’s rental catalogue. After Amos screened one of Melvin’s films at a festival in the spring of 1960, he took Melvin’s short movies to Paris where he showed them to a couple of executives at the Cinematheque Francaise Theater. Shortly thereafter, Melvin was invited to Paris by the founders of this theater, and it was in France where Melvin not only made another short film, “500 Francs”, but he started to build himself a reputation as a noteworthy writer.

Now, not only did Melvin begin to write for the investigative journalist magazine “France Observateur” from 1963 to 1964, but he also wrote for a politically satirical magazine called, “Hari Kari”, and eventually, Melvin was elected to this mag’s editorial board. In keeping with his prolific literary bent, Melvin published four novels, a short story, and a play titled, “La Fete a Harlem”, which would later become the musical, “Don’t Play Us Cheap”—this was before he would make his first feature-length film, “The Story of a Three-Day Pass” (La Permission) in 1968, which he adapted from his novel of the same name. This film caught the attention of Hollywood producers who mistook Melvin for a white French movie director, after it won the top prize at the San Francisco International Film Festival as the “French” entry. Even after finding out Melvin was of a darker persuasion, Hollywood’s execs were so impressed with the film, Columbia Pictures gave Melvin the financing to do his first American feature film, “Watermelon Man” in 1970.

Now, Melvin’s “Watermelon Man” is a story about a bigoted white guy (played by Godfrey Cambridge in white makeup) who one day wakes up Black. Moreover, if this ain’t funny enough fam, Columbia execs wanted Melvin to turn Godfrey’s character back into a white man at the end of the film—but Melvin refused to do it saying, he didn’t want audiences to think of being Black as a curse. So, when he screened this movie for the Columbia brass, and they asked why he didn’t turn the character white again, Melvin feigning ignorance said, “Oh wow, you know, I forgots (to shoot) that.” Fortunately, Melvin kept his ending.

After Watermelon Man, Melvin was determined to have complete control over his next project, which was to be his magnum opus, in my opinion, titled, “Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song” in 1971. With his own money, and a $50,000 loan from none other than Bill Cosby—yeah, the same “Pill” Cosby who just got outta’ jail y’all, Melvin financed this film. Mind you, He also wrote, directed, edited, starred in, and co-arranged the film’s score with a (then) up and coming R&B group named “Earth, Wind, and Fire” (Oh boy!)

Now, I wanna’ stop here to reflect on the first time I saw this film.

When I was 19, an older co-worker mentioned this film to me, and when I heard the title I was like, what the hell is a Sweet Sweetback? 5 years later, is when I’d actually sit down and give this film a viewing. Now, for those who haven’t seen this movie and are thinking about watching it in the future, I must tell you, this is the quintessential “art-house” film. Meaning, beyond its unpolished look, there are several montages which conventional films don’t follow—which according to your tastes, can endear or annoy the person watching. This said, I wanna’ go over “3” of my favorite parts of this film which, in my opinion, make it a classic.

1. Fam, this image opens the film with a police siren playing in the background. Mind you, the caption says: “This film is dedicated to all the brothas and sistas who have had enough of “the man”. Now, when I saw this, I immediately snuggled back into my seat and grabbed my popcorn ‘cause I knew this was gonna’ be my kinda’ movie. So straight away, this clip sets the precedence of keeping in the tradition of “Black Nationalism” and “Black POWER”, ya’ dig. 

2. This scene (right) is where Melvin chokes out one o’ tha’ crooked cops who were beatin’ up on a brotha. So after this is when Sweetback is “on the run” from the police—which is what sets the movie in motion. By the way fam, you can click on any of these pics to make them larger.

3. This scene is one where the Black community, knowing what happened to Sweetback, help him out by getting him outta’ the cop car so he can keep runnin’.

 Now understand, this movie has several more “controversial” scenes, one in particular being the film’s opening, where an older sista christens “Sweetback” with his name, and another where Sweetback is having an outdoor tryst with a white woman, while a group of white men watch. All and all, this movie, along with “The Spook Who Sat By the Door”, hold a special place in my heart ‘cause these films bought the collective consciousness of Black people out of a defeatist “integrationist” mind-set and into one of Black power and self-determination. 

So, to the ancestor we knew as MELVIN VAN PEEBLES, I say, for a life well-lived and a battle well-fought, take your rightful place amongst the ancestors and continue to keep us in your heart from the celestial place where you now reside. ASHE AND AMEN!

This said, now I can get into decoding the debaucherous and depraved depictions of our people, which can cause us to partake in an assortment of erroneous emotions and reactions (or inactions), which'll need an expiditious resolution. In other words, let's get it crackin' wit'...

Part 1.

Jada Pinkett and the "Ayesha Curry blues"

Now fam, recently, Jada Pinkett celebrated her “50^th” birthday on her “Red Table Talk” show. In it, she had a bevy of stars give her an assortment of “shout-outs” and well wishes before she sat down with her mother and daughter to talk about her current emotional state. Now, with a newly shaved head, miss thang, I mean Jada, was asked what she wanted, before she uttered these words: “I really want to learn how to love...I know what it isn’t.” This said, lemme break down what she really meant.

What Jada was trying to say was, I want to learn to love myself, without being married, or tethered, to a white (or non-Black) man. Ya’ see, Jada’s got what I call the “Ayesha Curry blues”—meaning, because she’s been told she has fair-skinned, European-looking features, Jada always thought it would be a matter of course for her to meet the white Prince Charming, marry him, and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, her white knight never showed up. So, she felt, her next best option, or the one she had most available, was a rich Black man…Will. Problem is, Jada never got over wanting to be with a white guy, so she’s taking it out on Will by treating him like dirt. Moreover, Jada’s bald head, is saying to Will, being a Black man, you don’t deserve a feminine looking, or acting female, you only get what I decide to give you—and this is also reflected in Black women’s weight issues. They feel Black men don’t meet the criteria for them to get and stay in shape, thus, they’re telling us, you’ll only get what we feel like giving you.

Now, some of you might be saying, bruh, don’t you think you’re being a little hard on sistas? I mean, what happened to all those times when you talked about seeing our people’s dysfunction in the context of the white fascist social order which created them? Welp, I’ve been giving this some thought lately, and I was thinking maybe this was the case—until I saw what I’m gonna’ talk about in…

Part 2.

Lizzo’s Ted “Twerk”

This past October 2^nd, the illustrious platform “Ted Talks” decided to let Lizzo talk about the anthropological and cultural significance of “twerking”.  Now, the saddest part of all this is, Lizzo doesn’t understand how white fascists are using her to keep sistas “single and spending”—now lemme explain what I’m talking about.

Not only is Lizzo devaluing all the strides Black Americans have made over the last half-century, but she’s not realizing the reason white fascists have given her this platform. Which is to further denigrate the image of Black women. Mind you, white fascists are doing this by portraying Black women as the embodiment of everything men find unattractive. Lizzo is now the official poster girl for Black women being obese, loud, and oversexed. Hence, making Black women unattractive to the overall populous of men, thus, keeping them out of loving relationships--and when this happens, women naturally gravitate towards buying stuff to heal their wounds.

Part 3.

Lizzo video

Now fam, instead of showing Lizzo’s Ted Talk vid’, I’m gonna’ post a “reaction”to it. This said, I wanna’ confess how I usually can’t stand “Mediocre Tutorials and Reviews” videos ‘cause of the obnoxiously dumb faces this young brotha makes. However, this vid’ echoes how I feel about Lizzo’s Ted Talk episode almost to the letter.

Warning: This video contains adult language, viewer discretion is advised.

 

 

 Fam, speaking of the white fascist agenda to make Black women look "hyper-masculine" and unattractive, peep out this Jill Scott vid' I just discovered.
