Confused and confusing: customizing gender. Its all the rage
Like most folk, I have been clumsily grappling with the alleged sexual exploitation charges levied against a prominent black Bishop, Eddie Long, of New Birth Baptist Missionary Church in Lithonia, Georgia, which is right outside of Atlanta. He has allegedly had sexual liaisons with as many as 200 hundred boys from the inception of the church in 1996 until now. A few opportunistic hacks have come out saying they have been writing about “pimps in the pulpit” for years but conspicuously neglected to mention our ancestor who first wrote about it brilliantly in 1967 and followed it in 1971 by another searing indictment on our most beloved institution, the black church. The writer was an obscure black playwright from Chicago named Robert H. deCoy. The tomes are “The Nigger Bible,” (Holloway House, 1967) http://img1.etsystatic.com/008/1/6939617/il_340x270.367823919_1bo0.jpg and “Cold Black Preach.” http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=cold+black+preach&view=detailv2&&&...
