Parable of Women Without Men
There was war in the land, for centuries war in the land. The men werebred for labor, sperm donations, and death. The women were booty, thespoils of war. A classical situation, nothing unique, racist, call itthe art of war. Men must be destroyed, or humiliated, effeminated,castrated, dehumanized. Where is the movie of David Walker, Nat Turner,Denmark Vesey, Gabriel Prosser, Toussaint, Bokman?
There is no other way to exercise social control over the population ofoppressed people, enslaved peoples, than to desecrate the men and theirmanhood. There can be no recognition of heroes or sheroes, this would beanathema to the oppressor system of domination. Where is the movie ofHarriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells.
The man in the oppressive society is at best a stunted man, a crippledman, handicapped physically and mentally. He is a warrior but unless hedons the warrior persona, consciously or unconsciously, he cannot assumethe title, thus he is a wimp, a punk bitch, a dehumanized human being, acaptive in the slave society, no matter how modern the trappings ofsaid society.
Either the former slave exercises self determination and sovereignty, orhe/she is a colonized being, a slave or in the modern era a wage slave,but a slave none the less.
He can be afforded the trappings of freedom, the flag, national anthemthat he is forced to sing, the election of a president of his own kind(how many presidents of black face do we have in Africa that areactually white men of the most profound kind in their wickedness anddebauchery?)
How many African prime ministers, kings, presidents for life do we havewho have dungeons full of opposition leaders, writers, poets,journalists?
And so out of this matrix is supposed to arise strong men and boyscapable of continuing the tradition of manhood which involves therevolutionary tradition? Meanwhile the purpose of the oppressor societyis to dehumanize any semblance of manhood at every turn, to project onlythe personality of the stunted man, the muzzled dog man, the effete manas the dominate personality.
What woman wants such a man? The woman says, "If I wanted a woman, I donot need a fake woman, I might as well get me a real woman, a woman whoknows how to treat me with gentleness, even more so than the gentle man!
The champion of male/female relations, Sharazah Ali says to women, "Becareful when you call for men to be more sensitive, you end up witheffeminate personalities that you reject." What does the woman says inT.S. Eliot's poem, "That is not what I meant, that is not what I meantat all...."
And so let us cut to the chase, what are women to do when their men areincarcerated, victims of homicide and/or suicide, depressed, druggedout, bisexual, homosexual, unemployed, etc.?
Nature itself rises to the occasion to answer such questions, suchconundrums of life in the hood!
The man cannot sell dope, so the woman sells dope. The man cannot pimp,so the woman pimps. The man cannot carry weapons, so the woman does. Theman cannot gansta, so the woman does.
The man cannot care for his family, so his girl's girl assumes the role,dress, gait, voice and language. The woman becomes protector of thewoman, since the man is absent, a victim on the battlefield, a causalityof life in the hood.
She dons the persona of the man, including pants sagging, swagger ingait, voice, and all manner of the masculine personality. She straps onthe plastic or rubber dildo to replace the natural male organ that isabsent for innumerable reasons, among them the fact the man is angry,under stress, violent and lacking in tenderness, brutal, while she needstender loving care in her stress, trying to be mother, and lover to theunlovable male, thus she moves to her sister girl for such tendernessand understanding.
If she is the economic superior, she takes authority as a young ladysaid, "I leave him with the baby and I bounce. He the baby mama, I'm thebaby daddy."
Indeed, we see the men picking up children from childcare. We see themen pushing strollers downtown during work hours, suggesting the male isnow the childcare provider while the women is employed. This is all bysocietal design, of course. Have no illusions why the woman can findemployment and the man cannot. The oppressor knows well he can controlthe woman but he also knows the oppressed male seeks to overthrow him atthe earliest possibility, to cut his throat and claim the championshiptitle as the master.
On the educational level matters are devastating. Prison is theinstitution for educating black males, white the academic prisonseducate black women who earn their degrees in higher education but mustseek out imprisoned brothers if they are to have a man. After all, blackbourgeoisie parents do not send their sons to Harvard, Yale andStanford to connect with a "black bitch." It was clear to my daughterwhen she attended Stanford Law School that she and her girls were not tobe matched with black males. Black males avoided them like the bubonicplague.
I write as a father with three daughters who graduated college, Yale,Stanford, Howard, Fresno State University, New York University, Albany,so I know the dilemma of black women seeking a husband in academia. Oneof my daughters said recently 75% of her friends have married or havemates out of the black manhood pool. The Washington Post noted blackwomen have discarded the idea of marriage with anyone.
Imagine the situation at Howard University, Washington, DC, with 14women for every man, imagine the crisis in male/female relations, nomatter how each gender claims they handle the situation. I recentlyspent a week lecturing on the Mythology of Dick and Pussy at Howard, butI got a clearer understanding of Howard sexuality, from the males andfemales, and yet what I learned only clarified the tragedy ofmale/female relations, with Howard as a microcosm. The stats are sooutrageous that to consider a functional solution is beyond the Westernparadigm.
We now have women with MBAs, PhDs, either giving up on a husband orseeking a husband doing twenty-five to life.
Such is the result of war in the hood. Part of the frustration, angerand rejection of our children who survive the academic world, yet, asBaraka says, "Come home from academia hating us and everything we'reabout, yet they don't even know what we're about," but the childrensuspect we have sold them a bogus bill of goods. Many were told to go tocollege to find a husband, yet there is none.
Dr. Wade Nobles says no matter if our children attend Stanford or SanQuentin prison, it is all the same, they are imprisoned, and thus deniedtheir natural right to be with each other, in love and tenderness.
The real question is what does all this forebode for the the future?What shall be the new configuration is gender relations? Surely, notmore of the same old bullshit, not after women have enjoyed same genderloving relations, and are economically and psychologically independent.
And yet, how shall they deal with the macho man or the effeminate maleor bisexual rejected by the woman seeking a "real man," and yet manymatrifocal households can at best produce the effeminate male, possiblythe result of bio-chemistry, the petrochemical foods, including hormoneproduced meats, water tainted with hormones and other bio undegradablechemicals recycled from waste water. We are told the residue fromplastics is causing sexual transformations. Surely this all part of thebio-chemical warfare, add in germ warfare with the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
I only know one thing, plastic toys are a sick reasonable facsimile forthe real male penis. But it is understandable in war, though the onlysolution to war is active engagement by males and females, notdiversionary tactics that only prolong war. For the day shall surelyarrive when the female's biology shall seek the real deal Hollyfield.
The future of the black nation is at hand. Tell me how same genderloving people shall contribute to the this future. They may findthemselves just as guilty as the oppressor in the destruction of theblack nation. The question is are they pro-life or anti-life?
