The Questions

Got the concept from Quency on Orkut.com, though apparently it comes from an old hip-hop song. So, the object is not to answer, but to ask ...
  1. Why do black men believe their dicks make them powerful? (And why don't they believe anything else does?)

  2. Why do black gay men take that belief to the extreme, incorporating it into their identities? (How many "big dick blatinos" can there be on the internet?)

  3. Why do we believe black folks are more homophobic than other people?

  4. Why dem gay boys still go to the churches where they get bashed every week? (How many can you list off the top of your head?)

  5. Why did i buy into the whole gayboy gymbunny body consciousness so late in life, when it never used to concern me?

  6. Why are relationships so complicated? (And i don't just mean primary "romantic" relationships.)

  7. Why does the porn industry rake in more money ($57 billion worldwide) than all major league sports combined ($27 billion)?

  8. Why are there so many black men living in fear of their own sexuality?

  9. Why do we learn how to fuck before we learn how to love? (And why do we treat the two things like they're mutually exclusive?)

  10. Why is it so easy to not want anything?
Feel free to join in, either here or in your own space. Just like on a polygraph, it's not the answers but the questions that are the dead giveaways. So, what questions do you have on your mind?

1. Why do black men believe their dicks make them powerful? (And why don't they believe anything else does?)
Your second statement answers your first. Feeling powerless in all other aspects of life, it’s the one thing we can control. And also because White men fear us and our big black dicks. Has everything to do with interracial birthing outcomes.

2. Why do black gay men take that belief to the extreme, incorporating it into their identities? (How many "big dick blatinos" can there be on the internet?)
Again, power and presumed lack of it and the desire for it. “I have no power, but if some big powerful black dick fucks me, it will be such a turn-on.”

3. Why do we believe black folks are more homophobic than other people?
Because White folks run the media and never look at their own house.

4. Why dem gay boys still go to the churches where they get bashed every week? (How many can you list off the top of your head?)
The need to connect to a community, any community. Once you connect, it’s hard to disconnect even if its unhealthy. Like battered wife syndrome.

5. Why did i buy into the whole gayboy gymbunny body consciousness so late in life, when it never used to concern me?
If you’re like me, it’s because at this point in life you’ve noticed your body sagging and getting all lumpy. The desire to regain fitness and just maybe turn a head or two is behind it.

6. Why are relationships so complicated? (And i don't just mean primary "romantic" relationships.)
Because we all want something and someone but we haven’t learned how to work together to both get what we want. We work out of self-centered interests instead of collaborating on our mutual needs.

7. Why does the porn industry rake in more money ($57 billion worldwide) than all major league sports combined ($27 billion)?
Well, if they played sports in the nude, they’d make more money!

8. Why are there so many black men living in fear of their own sexuality?
See questions 1 and 2.

9. Why do we learn how to fuck before we learn how to love? (And why do we treat the two things like they're mutually exclusive?)
And why is it some people can’t get either?

10. Why is it so easy to not want anything?
Is it easy, or simply a sign of a defeated person?

Babby I would try to answer these question but I don't presume to know. Besides the number of questions is so daunting. When I'm feeling less rushed I'll give you my two dimes.
