The author brings the inordinate priority of individual a nd group sex in European culture to our attention in a number of ways. He examines the printed, oral and visual media’s efforts to aggress ively and with conscious intent highlight and promote the most extreme and individualistic sexual acts and confusions. He delves into a fami ly of languages that since the earliest Greek writers has cultivated t he degradation of females, the sexual exploitation of children and ani mals, the priority of sexual conquest and satiation, and a glorificati on of vulgarity. He analyzes the sexual personalities and behaviors of the gods and goddesses of Greek and Roman mythology whom they created and who provided the model for mortal European sexuality. He looks at the sexual symbolism that increasingly pervades public Western societ y, being found everywhere from body ornamentation, such as tattooes an d body piercings, to children’s movies to the newest wave of “soft porn” romance novels. And he exposes their normative sex-violence c onnection that for many makes sex their all in all and gives them emot ional content; and through looking at the cultural history of gender/s ex confusing initiatives, trends and patterns having the deliberate en d goal of global unisexualization. These, of course, are only a few of the topics that are brought into this critical and long overdue discu ssion of the peculiar historical sex imperative of Europeans.\n\nBut n ot only does The Sex Imperative look at the source of the problem and its many confusing and destructive manifestations, it specifically add resses the introduction and spread of these perversions into the Afrik an community. One way the author does this is to take us on a historic al journey through several generations of music to demonstrate that wh at we hear and see today in the music and music videos is not new. Eve n though the lyrics have become cruder and cruder, the message has rem ained constant. Through the author’s eyes, we can see a natural prog ression in this effort to somehow fit Afrikans into European sexual cu lture. Attempts to graft the European sex imperative onto the Afrikan personality began well before “old school” music, where a sexual p riority was already being pushed beyond its natural limits through the airwaves and personal contact between members of these two groups. Th e goal has been the gradual but complete internalization of the peculi ar bedroom behaviors of Europeans by Afrikans so that the extremes and perversions Europeans naturally practiced would appear less abnormal to a world where Europeans have always been a significant minority.\n\ nThe Sex Imperative unlocks secrets, secrets that are hidden right bef ore our eyes in the music, commercials, schools, magazines, stores, te chnology, trends, that allow Afrikans to fall prey to a voluntary sexu al slavery because we do not know what we are dealing with or where it is taking us. Not only does this book provide an historical and conte mporary cultural map of the European sexual landscape, as truly seen a nd understood only by them, but, if we let it, it also provides an Afr ikan centered foundation out of which we can sexually locate ourselves in the natural ways that constitute the traditional mind of Afrika.\n \nFor more information visit http://abibitumikasa.ning.com/events/mwal imu-baruti-sex-imperative DTSTART;TZID=America/Atikokan:20090603T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Atikokan:20090708T210000 CATEGORIES:online, class LOCATION:http://www.abibitumikasa.com/forums/chat/flashchat.php WEBSITE:http://www.abibitumikasa.com/forums URL:http://www.abibitumikasa.com/forums CONTACT:(404) 753-7237 ORGANIZER:Obadele Kwame Kambon/Mwalimu Baruti ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://api.ning.com/files/gIyPAl5oGrM9rch- MMkYPyE6XGX7yBYBMCzBXBuAQmr35sdtSanQn-OLb9Dl*mnWaRhVA5s*aVgDsSC8KmgWvB K0bfSDgYDA/seximp.gif ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Obadele Kwame Kambon":http://abibitumikasa.ning.com/profile/Obadele END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
