Perspective

So, all last month I was trying to figure out how to start discussing the topic of Black Female Supremacy. It was the perfect time to begin discussing it, as it was Black History Month. The problem was, I couldn’t figure out how to introduce the topic, as every time I started typing I would realize that I had to explain more and more because my own belief system is based on the sum of my life’s knowledge and experience. And all of that gives me a perspective that is unique to me.

It is part of the reason why I hate when people, particularly in the D/s “community,” assume I am a Christian. It is always absurd to be told “Merry Christmas” by people who know I am a believer in Black Female Supremacy. And I have had subs try to convert me to Christianity, even while they want to marry someone and be a cuckold for life or something else that goes against Christian beliefs. But even that is perspective based: I define religion as a set of beliefs that lead to a way of life and others define it as the belief in a deity or deities. I have never been baptized or Christened and I don’t intend to ever be.

Not only is my perception of religion different, but so is my idea of a Goddess, as it relates to BFS and not D/s. It is almost the difference between the Queen of England and a Queen in ancient Egypt (who were also Goddesses, by the way). For me, Goddess means the Female personification of some larger theme and/or truth, in a universal sense. I believe, as such, that Black Females are Goddesses because they stand for something bigger than themselves. I think this is a great responsibility, however, and it is not one that I think every Black Female can handle. Obviously, most Black Females are unaware of their status, as I define it, so they don’t always act like Goddesses should.

Why do I think Black Women are Goddesses? The answer to that is a long one, but I can shorten it to say that I believe that Black Women are the closest thing to the most ancient source of us as a collective. If concepts such as “human nature” or “human instinct” or any clues to what is natural and “right” for us as the human race exist and are to be believed, I believe that they are innate to Black Females.
The most respected (in most circles) theories on humans say that we started out in Africa and left in waves for different reasons. While there are many, many theories as to why they left, we do know, based on genetics, that we dispersed and those who left first went close by and the next group went farther, etc. and the farther people got the more they changed, in terms of some basic facial features and cultural norms. And a lot was lost along the way.

So much evidence says that ancient Africa was (and some parts of Africa still are) matriarchal and Goddess-based. Anthropologists and archaeologists that represent diverse racial and gender groups have also debunked the old ideas of “cavemen” being the hunter-gatherer, pull a Female by her hair sort as well. Perspective can make the placement of tools to the bones of our distant and ancient relatives mean totally different things. Even the bones and bodies themselves. Both men and women have the capabilities to make breast milk, for example, (and boy babies often leak some from their nipples as newborns as the result of the extra estrogen) and the fact that male hominoids may have breastfed puts “masculinity” in a totally different light.

You see, I think men are beautiful. But I also think they are meant to be submissive, useful, and giving of their time and attention to the Women they serve and the children they care for. I think this is man’s natural state and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that. But I think that somewhere along the way men got some sense of hyper-masculinity and totally lost their minds. The conquer mentality, the overly-sexed way of living, the aggressive and violent behaviors, all of that seems to be the proof of something that is out of whack in men. And I think the solution is in Black Women.

At their best, I think Black Females know how to lead without being mean or aggressive. I think we have a sexuality that touches deep (which is why some people seem to think of us and our sexual selves as “animalistic,” though this is not a compliment) and our bodies are attractive in a very ancient sense. I think we possess a strength and sensibility that makes men follow. And while I think these things are innate to all Women, I think it is easiest to spot in Black Women and the darker the Woman, among races, the more these things are seen…Imagine an Indian Woman, a Latino Woman, and a Native American Woman and picture the strengths of each…beautiful.

I think in America and other Western countries, the concepts of Womanhood have been
so awfully distorted that Western white women have a very long way to go. The “women’s lib” movement here started out well but got so fucked up it turned into a bunch of socialites fucking on night-vision cameras who believe that they are somehow “free” and feminine. They are wrong. If Women here had been less involved with burning bras and trying to keep pace with men by being open sexually, they may have learned that the choice itself is the thing, not choosing the most outrageous option, just to prove the choice exists. That’s just stupid.

Because of slavery and the Jim Crow laws that followed it in this country, Black Women here were separate from the “mainstream” from day one. It meant that we kept some of our own beliefs and traditions because we could, however. Even with the new language and religion, something about our former lives stuck with us, perhaps even more than some of our Sisters in Africa who endured colonization that systematically brainwashed them and their men, as that was the purpose. So it’s relatively fresh in our minds, though we are losing it more and more as the generations pass.

But, all of this is my perception based on my perspective. Fortunately, I am not the only one who believes this or parts of this. I am going to start introducing theories and books by relevant people when I broach this topic. I still have a hard time imagining how I am going to explain some things, and if your perspective is very far from my own, you may want to skip those posts.
