Black Males In Crisis In America

[Clandestino]

your sisters would tell you otherwise.

i only have a couple gay brothers who dress like women! i knew you were !

Yeah, there are some guys that are like that in St.Phillips/east side. When I went there to take some basics a year an half ago I met some guys that were "downlow" guys in my basketball class. You would of never guessed they were Bi when you looked at them. Tall, Muscular, gangsta, slam dunking du rag wearing type. And they were always flirting with the white and hispanic girls in class hoping to get some booty. And one of them told me one time if I wanted to go to his crib one day to "hang out" and smoke some weed and listen to music. Then some guy told me from class told me that that guy was Bisexual and liked to push s in and suck once in while. And then he told me that some of the brothas here in school were closets too but they weren't gay, they just liked the company of men once in a whiel. I was all like, OH no!!!!!!

I'm not sure what to think about the origins of "the down low," except that the men who infect their girlfriends/wives are s .

One idea is that thanks to the virulent anti-gay culture in black America, gay men are in denial about their sexuality, and this is how it is manifested.

Another idea is that thanks to the out-of-control culture of male sexual en lement in black America, nominally straight men delve into incredibly dangerous and stupid behaviors, including "the down low."

I think the problem with that Manny is that some of those social programs breed a continuing dependance on them.

Chris, I honestly hate doing this...

Read what I said in one of my first posts. I referenced that I'm not supporting short sighted programs that target individuals and do nothing more than help people keep their heads above water.

I'm talking about lifting up a society, not individuals.

I don't think any of those programs really work unless their goal is push the people off them.

No, the programs I am advocating don't give out money/capital to individuals. The money goes into improving the services and facilities as well as the infrastructure that these communities use.
