While I admire and support many of our Black leaders who speak out against oppression and speak somewhat for liberation of Black and oppressed peoples, it seems that many of them have a hidden agenda of bagging as many women as possible while on their tours. I have personally been approached by everyone I have met. While I am flattered, I wonder, have we become so enamored by the male leaders who make us feel good and flatter us that we have forgotten to support, uplift and promote the Black female leaders who speak out against oppression and who speak for liberation? What about Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, PhD? Dr. Joy DeGruy, Michelle Alexander, Esquire? Sistah Souljah? Let us not forget about these powerful Black female leaders who are pioneers in their fields, have their own theories and speak expressly about leading us out of slavery. And these women, to my knowledge, have not tried to bed your men, women and children while speaking on tour. Neither have they tried to convince you to engage in an antiquated marital situation, such as polygamy as a means to solve the problem of white supremacy, racism, mass incarceration, poverty or oppression. Again, I fully support our Black male leaders who do the work to liberate African people everywhere on the globe, I just ask us to also remember, quote, promote and uplift the Black female leaders and pioneers as well. Laude us all, equally. Study Dr. Frances Cress Welsings theory. Read her book, the Isis Papers. Follow her on FB and Youtube. Listen to her youtube videos. Read Michelle Alexanders, the New Jim Crow about Mass incarceration of Black males. She is a lawyer who helps you understand how the laws are written in favor and support of white supremacy and against Black people. Read Dr. Joy DuGroys book on Post Traumatic Slavery Disorder. Her work helps you understand the effects of slavery and its implication on our behavior today. And what can I say about Sistah Souljah, the fearless African American conscious rapper who spoke courageously against racism and white supremacy. She upset then presidential hopeful Bill Clinton so much when she challenged the behavior of racist White people, that he blasted her publically and emotionally in such a harsh manner that this is taking time out to ridicule or call out a person during a campaign is now called, a Sistah Souljah Moment. Now THATs powerful. And she did all this in her youth. :)
