An hour discussion regarding education with a primary focus on sexual education.
Episode 7
Monday, 7 September, 2020
As stated in the title, in this episode I touch on the absolute need for sexual education courses for black men and black women at early ages. I also touch on a few causes as far as absorbed patriarchal ideals & misogynistic values that are picked up at early ages regarding black men. It is my subjective perspective that if we embrace this ideology collectively we will be able to dismantle and eradicate rape culture in its totality. We need to teach our children about: sex as far as interactions and or engagements, the autonomy, laws of sex, what is sexual violence i.e rape, coercion, consent, age of consent, identity, stealthing etc. We can begin to shift the nature of sex we can end the taboos regarding communication surrounding sex. If the collective of black boys were educated about sex would they grow into those who perpetuate violence onto black women and those that mirror them? I feel personally you would see more black men taking a stance of protection because they now know and are aware of harm that can happen if left uneducated. Compassion and empathy are concepts/ emotions that are lacking in our communities and the need for accountability, reflection, comprehension, as well as listening to interpret are at an all time high. Education coupled with a variety of other ideals will aid us collectively in our liberation. We can not have liberation at the expense of subjugating our women. Educate yourself or you are doomed to destroy yourself. It will require much work but I am here willing and ready. This platform is for you. - Brother Uhuru
