Fige Bornu:
You are welcome to turn logic on its head, in order to justify, and
glorify your own peculiar sexual preference:
"It is a complete lie that homosexuality is a white
| | man's thing. And to give something as unique,
personal and intimate as sexuality, and in this
regard, homosexuality, to Westerner's shows a pathetic
and still slave-like ideology that begs for liberation
and freedom."
|
It is your slave-like obession with sexuality - which you inherited from
your extended exposure to Western/European cultural values, that "shows a
pathetic and still slave-like ideology that begs for liberation and
freedom."
And I will be the last person to encourage you to bring this pathetic,
slavish obsession with sex and sexuality to Africa. From time immemorial,
though Africans "enjoy" sex like any other human beings and animals - a
biological predisposition necessary for the continuation of the species -
African cultures as a rule are not FIXATED on sex and sexuality like
Europeans and some other races are.
That was why African societies traditionally did not have brothels, or
prostitutes; no belly dancers, no stripteases: we did not abuse or
commercialize the sex of our women folk. And when you engage in sex with a
woman to whom you are attracted, it is not merely for SEXUAL GRATIFICATION
- which is all you get from a sexual encounter of the homosexual/lesbian
kind. It is more than that - you would also like the woman to bear your
child, hopefully.
Therefore, procreation, and not mere sexual gratification, is the motor
that drives sexual engagements in traditional African cultures - as a
rule, since there will always be those who deviate from the norm.
Now to the ONLY valid point you made - and then twisted around to suit
your own whims. To quote you, and why should "something as unique,
personal and intimate as sexuality" not be kept "personal and intimate and
unique"?
When you and a man, two consenting and free adults, go behind closed
doors, who cares, and who asks what you two are doing there?
By the same token, when a man and a woman, two consenting and free adults,
go behind closed doors, who cares and who asks them what they are doing
there, more so if they are engaged in "something as unique, personal and
intimate as sexuality?"
Why then should homosexuals and lesbians keep clamoring and screaming for
the public recognition and glorification of their own sexual preferences -
which I would rather describe as sexual aberrations?
Why are they not content to keep their sexuality and sexual practices
"unique, personal and intimate"? Why doe they need the world to stand by
in awe and in admiration of their own peculiar sexual practice?
Yes, my dear Fige Bornu, it is Americans of African origin who think like
you that will need to purge themselves of the "pathetic and still
slave-like ideology" they copied and inherited from the Europeans who
enslaved many of our ancestors - the reasons why most are in this bind
today - before ever thinking or even dreaming of returning to make
meaningful contributions to the eventual socio-economic and political
evolution of a New Africa.
In Africa we keep to ourselves "something as unique, personal and intimate
as sexuality." We do not prostitute, reduce or debase it to mere
expression of animal instincts. Like I said already, "African societies
traditionally do not have brothels, or prostitutes; no belly dancers, no
stripteases: we do not abuse or commercialize sex."
Africans are not fixated on sex or sexuality - regardless of what the
white man may have taught you to believe about Africans. For the white
man, it was a case of mere transference - just like although they, the
Europeans, are always the aggressor, but they will always be the first to
accuse their victims of aggression.
But that's another topic for another day.

Dr. Ojo,
I knew the grounds that I was traveling would be rough
and tough when I posted my open letter to President
Kufour on the blacklist,com forum, but I am
disappointed that selective human rights portions are
still the norm in the eyes of far too many conscious
Africans worldwide.
It is a complete lie that homosexuality is a white
man's thing. And to give something as unique,
personal and intimate as sexuality, and in this
regard, homosexuality, to Westerner's shows a pathetic
and still slave-like ideology that begs for liberation
and freedom.
Repression, oppression and containment whether it be
through the theft of land, of people, or of a person's
right to personal expression are all bad.
Your attempting to have me looked upon as someone who
has disregarded the centuries old rape of our precious
African legacy and history in favor of just
homosexuality is wrong and thus invalid.
I stil urgly ask that you and others support the
complete liberation of our people worldwide. For to
deny one part of one's liberation is to deny all of
it.
Peace,
Fige Bornu, Chairman
Positive African Image Institute

to recognize his Africaness, and what he has to

300 years of forced exile is 'homosexuality', a very
un-African European
abnormality.
There is no positive African image linked to
homosexuality. Africa needs
Africans who bring positive things that will
contribute to Africa's
socio-economic and political development, not people
touting Western
decadence as enlightenment.
It is not! Homosexuality is an aberration, and a
sickness of the mind.
