"black./womyn.:conversations..." KIN on...

Nor and IQ talk about taking a chance at being out...part of a new documentary on lesbians of African descent...coming soon!.

"black./womyn.:conversations..." will be a feature length docu-film that will concern lesbians of African descent living in the U.S. It will include over 50 interviews with black lesbians of all ages /classes /nationalities/locations discussing a variety of topics including coming out, sexuality and religion, love and relationships, patriarchy, visibility in media, among others as well as a series of short vignettes representing the topics discussed. I'm hoping to provide a film that can encourage progressive dialogue between people on dealing with the image of the black lesbian and the stereotype that come with who black lesbians are portrayed to be. I hope to encourage conversation between black lesbians dealing with class and age, and the lack of communication between these groups and how that affects the overall unity between black lesbians as a group in society.

Uh oh... bible verses....Gosh I hate when ppl use the bible to justify THEIR OWN HATE

Listen Timmy

they're GAY get over it. Your just probably mad or something..You have NO GOTDAMN AUTHORITY to judge anyone for their sexual orientation. If They got "enemies" maybe you should harass the pedophiles, murders, rapists,The KKK,the FUCKED UP POLITICIANS we have in the world and throw bible verses at them. They like womyn...I see no harm in that

Overall Buddy Drink bleach and leave this shit alone

You probably see demons everywhere you go. Racism and homophobia are ways to deprive people of opprotunity its sets up desperation in targeted groups. Fear is the tool of oppressors they beleive they deserve things because there not you. Its a short cut to sucess. There preoccupation with inate characteristics has to do with there warped sence of self in a diverse universe.

Black lesbian women look like they have an evil demon spirit inside of them. Does anybody else notice that? Feel free to respond.

@checkers1245 u're right in a way,but they arent all the same;i dont knw where you leave,but in europe even if a lot happend tthere historicly speaking,in terms of racism and all those stuff,you can find caucasian pple who atually dont care bout your colour,and they wont hang out with kust bcause its ''so cool'' to hang out with black pple,one of my friend has a black boy friend,it was hard to understand for her parents but they got over it,and now she is married to him.ive many other examples.

@cjhmmp

No, I am just keeping it real. You know when whites and other races see us, all they see is NIGGER! It doesn't matter how open minded they are. Even if you are their friend, you will be described as their BLACK friend. People don't see that we may be mixed with our white slave owners from the past. All they see is black and you know it.

[cjhmmp]

@checkers1245 I think your mindset might just communicate to a white person that race is on your mind and if this is your presumption then i would expect a cold reception from not just white people but from anyone who differs from me in any way but as long as it gives you comfort from your short comings go for it people like you don't tend to grow up and learn to ignore and keep moving forward and im obviously wasting my time and no its not cause your black lol

@cjhmmp

No, I think that when white people look at me, they see NIGGA. That is all they see.
