Dear Leo,

This is an article about black penises. Chocolate as a certain friend preferred to call them. First, practical warning: It is (unnecessarily) long (*insert sexual joke peheh*) so set aside some time to read it. And if you get bored halfway through, skip to the part that starts with ‘One night, when I was 24...’.

Why am I posting this? Is this a way to compensate for the absence of male genitalia between us? Maybe. (No) The main reason why I am sharing this is because it is genuinely an interesting angle, made very attractive with the American talent in branding (the visuals, the title etc.) and also containing very good references to relevant art and pop culture. Smart in a way that you would enjoy...

One other dimension I would add is: How to tie in the rise of the essentially ‘black’ pop culture thread of rap/hip hop, which in many ways is a huge disguised black penis “me and ma bitchez and ma bling”... A “Ha!’ from black people towards the white man with the hidden inferiority complex as Kim Kardashian augments her white butt surgically to match up and Kanye is the new Prince Charming hanging out in Versailles? Interesting times we are going through... 

Another side note is the increasing presence of race in my thoughts since I moved here, which made me remember this EYP discussion we had in the past about race in Europe vs. race in the US and how criticizing EYP’s inclusivity in terms of race was not as big an issue as in the US context. Both the suburban middle class American culture (shout out to our roadtrip and my book choice for you) and the race issue (shout out to Nuyorican Poets Cafe which is on your March itinerary) have entered my radar like never before over here. Well, they might also enter your radar in the near future with some plans (*wink*).

Enjoy!

“I would describe myself as a Black sexuality scholar. One of the goals with my Black LGBT class is just to illustrate that we exist. A lot of people don’t realize that the activists on the frontlines of the Black Lives Matter movement are queer Black women. In the past, the face of our race-based movements has been very heteronormative male. Now we see queer Black people out in front—it’s fascinating to me. It signals a new movement. These are the kinds of things I get my students to think about in my classes, that these issues aren’t as separate as we think they are. I try to get people to see themselves within various struggles. How can you see yourself in me, and vice versa? Just because the issue may not be directly affecting you does not mean it has no impact on you at all. For example, LGBT issues affect straight Black people because their family structures are often not seen as the norm. How do we connect across difference?”

Siobhan King Brooks, Ph.D., assistant professor of African American studies, creator of the new fall 2016 class “The Black LGBT Experience.” Previously worked as a union organizer for an exotic dance club in San Francisco. Research interests include race relations, gender, sexuality, intersectionality, and identity formation. Her book, Unequal Desires: Race and Erotic Capital in the Stripping Industry, examines race relations between Black and Latina exotic dancers in Oakland and NYC.
