Gangsta Chicks!

Women in the 'Game' are invaluable studying why things have fallen apart in the development from adolescence to adulthood. Casting the divinity of security within the Divine Femininity for the rude, crude corruption of low level masculinity aside has created inexplicable crimes men dare not do! 

The most recent event national news is talking about and horrified by occurred in Chicago, Illinois, the first week of September 2017. A 36 year old Black woman, from the feel of jealousy, got a man to rape her romantic competition while the much younger woman was unconscious; filmed it, and posted it on Snap Chat. The victim found out she'd been raped seeing the film on her Snap Chat page.  

Crude masculinity exchanged for access to the gangsta life submits women's bodies to sexual subjugation in ways that would get the men locked up; but these women don't care! They take it like a champ, and submit to their gang rapes, and arise dripping with men's semen, and assume command of the beast birthed within. How does any authority fight this force? It is a vicious comparison but one should take the look, and plunge into thinking about the 'whys' of Arab women, who strap bombs to their bodes, to kill American soldiers in their war torn countries, while pregnant!

Capturing a glimpse of it in this photograph toys with social responsibilities Elders, we don't have enough of, have developing through initiation of children into adults. Initiation is no longer part of the equations of developing children along the lines of who they are, and what their spirits need to grow into their authentic selves. Instead, we rely on modalities created by a people, whose inability to develop their own has merged with our brokenness developed in our relationship with them!

It is a lot to say, and there is more; but I revisit your photos, and they stir serious thoughts. I can't image you not being a serious man. Your serious work is powerfully capturing the elements of a people in need of self-reflection to move on to the next right step! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 9/6/17
