Ha Ha.. I had to laugh at the “No Negro” comment.

I dont mean this in anyway to sound racist.. but i really hate you niggers, sorry.. “niggas”! Please.. pack up yourselves, your saggy pants, your shitty music and your ignorant sounding slang and get on a boat back to Afirca. Oh wait.. Africans hate you slave “niggas” too!

The lecture series of Prof. Mwalimu Baruti will lend itself perfectly to this topic! Prof. Baruti is known for his books “The Sex Imperative” & “The Homosexuality & the Effeminization of the Afrikan Male”…..he will be in Phila. on Aug.22-09 from 1p-3p at the Church of the Advocate! You can check him out on youtube as well! And then my girl Dr. Frances Welsing whom I’ve had the pleasure of meeting & attending several of her lectures at Howard…they give great insight into this touchy dynamic that few fear to tread…..All we seem to end up being is’ laboratory rats’ in this society! Let’s wake up folks ” knowledge is a form of self- defense”….we’ve walked in the valley of ignorance for too long!

Great Post Dr. Hill. I hear that silly ass phrase on campus all the time here at Virginia State Univ.

Jay Smooth put out a really accurate and funny video about this topic last year. I’m still surprised that the term and the overall mentality behind it has grown legs.

Believe me, Deac. I know all that. No disrespect. I was being stereotypical on purpose. I’m going after the Jews and their devil horns, and the Asian women with sideways vaginas next.

Thanks Marc for speaking on this, it has been driving me crazy for years now every single time I hear the kids I’ve worked with say it over and over again. Its akin to the pimple-faced preteen boys who giggle every time they hear or say the word “pencil” because its similar to the word “penis” and just highlights how incredibly juvenile the whole “no homo/pause” mentality has become. It’s so unnecessary to draw attention to statements or words that have absolutely no sexual connotation attached by quantifying them with a pause or no homo. And I completely agree that stupid behavior like this just further marginalizes the LGBTQ community by implying that sexual orientation is defined by words not actions. To me anyone who embraces this mentality is in some level extremely insecure and somewhat uncomfortable with not only their sexuality but the sexuality of others. If you’re straight and secure why on earth are would a person be so obsessed with sexuality that they would need to say this all the time? It also says a lot about their subconscious state of mind because of all the LGBTQ people I know personally I have never ever heard any of them say “no hetero.” Bottom line, if you are truly secure you don’t have to do anything to prove your security to others.

As stereotypical as Zak’s statement is:

“Funny is that gay men and hip-hoppering negros have a lot in common. They like expensive clothes, shiny stuff, and love getting the fruitiest drinks in the club.”

I have a an idea of what he was trying to say, as far as the “no homo” preface being used by straight men if they have to to say it to make the point that their not gay then they need to find another way of getting their point across The irony is that the one’s going around saying it are the same ones wearing their pant below their ass showing the world their dirty drawz, if that’s not gay then I don’t know what is, why would a straight guy want to walk around showing his ass. Is it me or are staright guys more fixated on what gays do sexually than us gay men are.

There’s more to gay men than being fashionable, drinking fruity drinks, snapping fingers, and going to Patti LaBelle concerts, some of us actully play ball, ride bikes, drink beer and don’t give a damn about fashion.

I think it’s admirable you touched on this urban slang; topic often and ignorantly used. My belief is validation or confirmation on such mindless comments stated by “self” is ignorance of one’s “ego”.

Props to you bruah; if this act was to be consistant, many (not all of course) would have to chant this phrase while walking with the new “trend” of the tight jeans and daily muffin top display… Yet, that again would not help. My point is that contradictory is throughout and it’s even more unfortunate how so many of my brothas are contradicting themselves by these words/seeds spoken… especially when stated in front of our children.

Continue sharing greatness man. 100.
