Profile Information
- About Me
- I am described by my friends as the strong sensitive type and I guess I am a rather quiet guy. Unless, however, you get me onto an issue that I am passionate about, for example; atheism, evolutionary theory, cosmology, racial equality, freedom of speech, gay rights, gun control, or how capitalism has gone too far. Although I dress street, listen to hip-hop and reggae music, am an ex-gang member, and play basketball many people do not consider me to be your typical black guy. Which brings me to the question what is your typical black guy supposed to be like? My black friends have called me a "coconut" because I am well educated, have abandoned street life in favour of a career as an Outreach Worker helping troubled teens, and don't smoke blunts when I wake up in the morning. If that makes me an "Uncle Tom Nigger" then so be it because I don't believe anyone should conform to stereotypes whether they be based on race, gender, or sexuality. These identities are mere constructions that seek to limit and control us. They are perpetrated by religions that seek white male heterosexual social control and a capitalist society that depends on these stereotypes for the benefit of mass consumption. I for one reject these constucted identies in favour of my own individuality. I'm a strong, sensitive, quiet, argumentative, bisexual, atheist, black male with a passion for justice and equality. I'm a also member of an on the rise anti-theistic group called The Anti- Injustice Movement (a.k.a. THE A.I.M.).
