Black on Black Homicide and the Mythology of Pussy and Dick

Forget about drugs, gang initiation rituals and criminal activity as causes of so called Black on Black homicide. It is becoming clearer and clearer that much of this killing is over women. So now we are to blame the black woman for the death of young black men? Yet it is clear to police nationwide that sexual improprieties are the root cause of young men killing each other.

We hear of a national program to reach out to gang members about male/female relations, to instruct young black men that women are not their chattel or private property. No matter what, they must come out of the patriarchal mentality that their girlfriend's body belongs to them, rather than her, no matter that they may pay the cost to be the boss. Alas, in many cases the males are not even in a position to pay the cost to be the boss, and this may be reason for tension and insecurity on the part of males, thus any perceived breach of the relationship contract is reason for violence against the female or her suspected male partner and/or friend, especially the new boyfriend.

Because of the high incarceration rate in the hood, many relationships are insecure at best, and of course women alone seek out friendship of other males and/or females when their boyfriends go to jail.
His buddies inform on her behavior and retaliation is in order, sometimes it is the guy's best friend who is improper or out of line with the incarcerated person. Thus the consequent violence is done out of passion and ego damage, although in many cases the wounded male was never "right," and more often was wrong and abusive, so he shot himself in the foot and the female was only getting a little revenge when she started having sex with his best friend, after all, he had had a sexual relationship with her girlfriend.

Yes, this is high drama in the hood, but it is real not some stage play. Of course many brothers will claim they went to jail trying to "pay their pussy bill." This can only increase tension, hurt and passion if the female does not remain true and faithful, although she has the human right to go her way. This is what must be understood on the part of young males. They must get a healing on this matter so critical to their life and death. People who are descendants of the slave system cannot intern treat each other as slaves.

Young black man, your woman's pussy belongs to her, not you! You don't have a pussy, Mr. Black man. Do you bleed five days per month? Get a life, get manhood training and come into the modern world. We are all free human beings, born free by the Creator, and no about of money, clothes, trinkets, food, hair weave or other materialism makes you the owner of your woman. Again, she is not your slave and you are not her master.

Clearly, you can hardly master yourself, let alone master her. Some of you are so ignut you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground, yet you want to control and dominate your wife, girlfriend, partner.
Get a healing, come out of the Flintstones, stop killing your brother because when you kill him you kill yourself!
