Fundies Say the Darndest Things!

Why do European and Negro Scholars in mainstream academia continue to run with the claim that Homosexuality existed among indigenous Africans prior to foreign contact.
I have yet to see legitimate untainted archeological anthropological and oral sources that detail homosexuality being practiced among our ancestors prior to colonization. Even RAPE was virtually unheard of in Africa prior to colonization.
So the question is why do these so called scholars keep running with this BLATANT LIE?
THEY ARE TRYING TO PUSH AN AGENDA!!

Mfon Amun Ptah, Tumblr

THEIR IS ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF OF SEXUAL PERVERSION AMONG INDIGENOUS AFRICANS PRIOR TO COLONIZATION AND CONTACT WITH FOREIGN PEOPLES.
There is no archeological evidence of Homosexuality, Bestiality, Pedophilia, Transexuality or any other Perverse form of European Sexuality among indigenous Africans prior to colonization and contact with foreign peoples.
There is no anthropological evidence of Homosexuality, Bestiality, Pedophilia, Transexuality or any other Perverse form of European Sexuality among indigenous Africans prior to colonization and contact with foreign peoples.
There is no literary evidence of Homosexuality, Bestiality, Pedophilia, Transexuality or any other Perverse form of European Sexuality among indigenous Africans prior to colonization and contact with foreign peoples.
There is no oral tradition of Homosexuality, Bestiality, Pedophilia, Transexuality or any other Perverse form of European Sexuality among indigenous Africans prior to colonization and contact with foreign peoples.
THERE IS NO PROOF OF ANY OF THESE THINGS AMONG INDIGENOUS AFRICANS PRIOR TO COLONIZATION AND CONTACT WITH FOREIGN PEOPLES!! ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF!!
Anyone who says that there is without showing it, is either a naive tool or is BLATANTLY part of the Agenda to promote sexual perversion among African People and Destroy the African family.

[Bastardization? Really? How am I corrupting these texts? Please feel free to explain because frankly its quite simple. God says babies are innocents. God says killing innocents is murder. God killed innocents. Fact fact fact based on your texts, all three. It looks like rather you are dissatisfied with my conclusion that your god committed murder.]

Dissatisfied sums it up, yeah. Can you not see how you cherry picked two unrelated sentences and forced them together to prove your point? The logic is clear... God has the capacity to know and judge fairly where you do not. Given the whole concept of fallibility as accepted by Christians and Jews, your idea that children are innocents is unfounded and unbiblical. Simple as that.

This is what I feel should be done about the homosexuality problem:

1. Repeal all gay "marriage" laws. They make no sense from a logical, legal, semantic, or philosophical standpoint. You can't have male hens and you can't have gay marriage.

2. Eliminate "civil unions" - see above.

3. Draft a Constitutional amendment preventing either of the above 2 points from ever being issues anywhere in the country.

4. Nullify all existing gay "marriages" and "civil unions". To allow them to continue to exist undermines the entire agenda.

5. Work to eliminate the arbitrary stigma toward reparative therapy.

6. Make said therapy mandatory for first-time offenses of displaying homosexual behavior in public.

7. Train all school counselors - from pre-K to college - in said therapy.

8. Make any public displays of homosexual misconduct a misdemeanor after the first.

I think this would really eliminate a lot of the problems homosexuals are causing. If you have any other ideas, let me know.

F. Roger Devlin, Thornwalker

A feminist in the strict and proper sense may be defined as a woman who envies the male role.

By the male role I mean, in the first place, providing, protecting, and guiding rather than nurturing and assisting. This in turn involves relative independence, action, and competition in the larger impersonal society outside the family, the use of language for communication and analysis (rather than expressiveness or emotional manipulation), and deliberate behavior aiming at objective achievement (rather than the attainment of pleasant subjective states) and guided by practical reasoning (rather than emotional impulse).

Both feminist and nonfeminist women sense that these characteristically male attributes have a natural primacy over their own. I prefer to speak of "primacy" rather than superiority in this context since both sets of traits are necessary to propagate the race. One sign of male primacy is that envy of the female role by men is virtually nonexistent — even, so far as I know, among homosexuals.

Normal women are attracted to male traits and wish to partner with a man who possesses them. Healthy societies are marked by a cooperative reciprocity between the sexes, but an unequal one in the sense that it involves male leadership of the female, somewhat as in ballroom dancing.

The feminists' response to the primacy of male traits, on the other hand, is a feeling of inadequacy in regard to men — a feeling ill-disguised by defensive assertions of her "equality." She desires to possess masculinity directly, in her own person, rather than partnering with a man. That is what leads her into the spiritual cul de sac of envy.

And perhaps even more than she envies the male role itself, the feminist covets the external rewards attached to its successful performance: social status, recognition, power, wealth, and the chance to control wealth directly (rather than be supported). She tends not to give much thought to the great mass of men who struggle to fulfill the demands of their role without ever attaining the rewards of superior performance.
