AfroerotiK

Erotic provocateur, racially-influenced humanist, relentless champion for the oppressed, and facilitator for social change, Scottie Lowe is the brain child, creative genius and the blood, sweat, and tears behind AfroerotiK. Intended to be part academic, part educational, and part sensual, she, yes SHE gave birth to the website to provide people of African descent a place to escape the narrow-mined, stereotypical, limiting and oft-times degrading beliefs that abound about our sexuality. No, not all Black men are driven by lust by white flesh or to create babies and walk away. No, not all Black women are promiscuous welfare queens. And as hard as it may be to believe, no, not all gay Black men are feminine, down low, or HIV positive. Scottie is putting everything on the table to discuss, debate, and dismantle stereotypes in a healthy exchange of ideas. She hopes to provide a more holistic, informed, and enlightened discussion of Black sexuality and dreams of helping couples be more open, honest, and adventurous in their relationships.

Step on a Crack, Break your Mother's Back



In my lifetime advances in technology have been astounding.  I’ve been fortunate enough to witness rotary phones become push button phones, then came answering machines which in turn became voicemail, beepers evolved into cell phones.  I’ve seen cell phones go from being only able to make calls, to texting, to having access to the internet, being cameras, calculators, music players, guidance systems, and countless applications that allow you to do almost anything.  Now, there are watches no bigger than a matchbook that are cell phones.  Television in my lifetime has gone from huge consoles with four channels to ½ inch thick high definition devices with 1000s of channels.  The internet itself is nothing short of miraculous considering that access to information was relegated to having access to whatever library that was closest to you.  The military can now fly remotely-operated drones that are size of mosquitoes.  Certainly, 1000s of years from now, this time in history will be marked as one of the greatest leaps in technological advancement in recorded history. 

What hasn’t evolved, what has devolved in fact, what has remained stagnant and medieval is the consciousness of humanity.  This time in history will be recorded as when the beliefs of the masses remained medieval and willfully ignorant.  People refuse to evolve, they intentionally hold on to oppressive and unenlightened beliefs.  It’s one thing to believe that the earth is flat if all you have is a simple telescope.  It’s quite another arrogant and ignorant thing to assert that there is no other live forms in the UNIVERSE other than Earth.  The universe is infinite.  Infinite.  To suggest that there is no other life in the universe other than Earth is as stupid as claiming that the moon is made of cheese. 

Sexuality and religion are the areas where people remain the most willfully ignorant.  To believe that God, the creator of all, the consciousness that perfectly organizes everything in nature is a male is akin to believing that you can fall off the edge of the earth.  Spiritually, we are an intentionally and woefully myopic.  It’s profoundly shameful that we are still intent to hold on to ridiculous concepts like heaven and hell and a devil and a God who doesn’t want you to experience pleasure unless you are married.  All men have the potential to be aroused when anally stimulated.  Every single solitary one.  There is nothing that makes some men experience pleasure anally and others not.  A man does not automatically become feminine if he experiences pleasure anally, it’s not even an indication that he is homosexual but the vast and overwhelming majority of humanity at this time believes that if a man experiences pleasure anally, he’s gay.  It’s shameful to be so ignorant in this day and age yet we are. 

The collective intellect of people today is pitifully and shamefully low.  With vast amounts of information literally at our fingertips, people don’t read, they don’t learn, they don’t question, they don’t study.  Even higher education is woefully substandard.  The race of people who kidnapped, enslaved, raped, murdered, and sold HUMAN BEINGS like cattle is considered the most evolved.  That, to  me, is the most absurd of all of our collective beliefs.  Anyone who could beat, torture, abuse, rape, enslave, and murder another race of people for their own financial benefit should absolutely be considered the most barbaric race of people alive.  Yet Black women sew yak hair to their heads to emulate the hair of our oppressor and we idolize light skin as if it gives Blacks more value because they are close to being white.   Black people hold on to the beliefs of the plantation and are proud of it.  They brag that want to believe what their grandparents taught them, never once considering that education was intentionally withheld from our ancestors for a reason, to keep us dumb. 

We are emotionally immature as a race of people, the human race.  Lying has become so commonplace, people don’t even feel bad about it.   We are not enlightened.  We are not evolved.  We are not educated.  We are holding on to superstitions and stupidity that should have died out thousands of years ago.  We are on a collision course of epic proportions if you do not lift our collective consciousness in our lifetimes.
