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.

The Problem with Billionaires

I find the concept of hoarding money offensive to my very core. I understand wanting to have money to provide you with all the luxuries in life that you want. I get that. I don't understand the need to collect more money after you have all the things you want. The concept of being a billionaire is offensive to me. People are starving. People are homeless. People are living paycheck to paycheck and a handful of people have more money than 75% of the nations population COMBINED. After you have all the houses, clothes, cars, jewels, boats, and whatever else you want, after you've made provisions for your children's future, for your health, for your future want and bills, what's the point of making MORE money? I will never understand that. At some point, my heart would be crushed to think of people starving and knowing that I have enough money to buy . . . everything. 

Jay-Z, Oprah, Dr. Dre and Byron Allen combined have enough money to infuse money into every ghetto in this country to build schools and hospitals and decent housing and they wouldn't miss a penny, they wouldn't even notice any change in their lifestyle. They wouldn't go broke, they wouldn't suffer hardship, they wouldn't not pay a bill. They could continue to buy whatever they wanted and they could feed every hungry Black child in this country. 

 WHEN I'm a billionaire, my promise to the Black community is that I will share my wealth with the entire Black community. My goal is not to die with the most money. My goal is to die with nothing, a zero balance. It's my goal to GIVE as much money as I can to uplifting the Black community. I don't want to profit from us, I want to profit from the oppressor and use every cent on lifting our consciousness. Of course I will make sure my family is provided for when I die but they don't need 100s of millions of dollars each to survive. That sort of greed and capitalism is evil to me. Having more money than you need when others are suffering is sinful to me.
