      Seriously, are they not aware that homosexuality has been observed to exist in the animal kingdom?

    Thanks for this. Great explanation. My favorite part:

    “Ultimately, they don’t want true equality. They want to replace white male patriarchy with black male patriarchy.”

    Oh my God, we have our latin version in the MEchA/LaRaza loving/Atzlan dudes, yet no one word encompasses them like Hotep does.

    I thought that was just a “I don’t have to wash my legs” thing like those sickos from that debate on Jezebel.

    I apologize for my woeful ignorance, but about that eye candy/ soul food picture; Is that supposed to sound dirty? Because to me it sounds dirty.

      It could but I think the meaning was to be a person who can be nourishing to the soul and not junk food for the eyes. Still, the dirty joke is there like a low hanging fruit...

    I need “Hotepid” to be a word. It is a combination of “ho” meaning ho and “tepid” meaning lukewarm. Use: He doesn’t sleep around too much, he’s hotepid.

    “Bourgie” is also commonly used to explain basic white people who think they are better then other white people, or who are “all hat, no cattle,” but for weird WASP-y things, like wearing a bunch of nautical themed clothing but not knowing how to sail. Those people are scary.
