Homosexuality or Pedophilia It is NOT the same! Homophobia in the African American Community

Drug abuse, prostitution, incarceration, adultery, Teen Pregnancy, School Drop Out and so much more is tolerated and looked over in the African American society. Unfortunately, homosexuality is not; the paranoia of homosexuality is killing African Americans with miss-education and lack of condoms in prisons, poor HIV/Aids education and growing incidents of pedophilia of our black/brown boys – all because of that wall of silence that looks the other way – it is called denial – it’s called paranoia. This is NOT being on the down low; this is paranoia at its fullest. Homosexuality is NOT tolerated in the entertainment industry, Rap- Music, Sports or even the church. This paranoia has blurred the definition of homosexuality and pedophilia.
