Poet's denial about black dependency is a symptom of his self-hate. Does it stem from being black, or being gay? I suspect it's both. That must really suck.
First of all, I'm in denial of nothing. There is no "black dependency". That is a myth, created by and purported by right wing nuts, for the sole purpose of demonizing blacks. I don't know any dependent blacks. All the blacks that I know, "work", "hard", each and every day.
Self hate? You're insane. I am in love with myself. Like never before. And let's see...my denial, is a symptom of my self hate? That doesn't even make any sense. We should just call the men in white coats and have them take your mentally disturbed ass away in a strait jacket.
I'm reminded of Rand Paul's recent speech at Howard University, a historically-black college, the alma mater of several of my own relatives, who are now, household names. An article details his folly:
Rand Paul: Negro Whisperer - This Week in Blackness
".....
his (Rand's) audience of about 50 students, professors and other attendees rarely clapped for Paul when he made policy statements on issues that included schools, economics, jobs and race.
One man, who was not a student at the school, cursed at Paul before being escorted out of the room. But otherwise, those who attended were polite.
Paul acknowledged criticism for the speech he gave at Howard University Wednesday, saying, I think some think a white person is not allowed to talk about black history which I think is unfair.
Thats what happened! A White man spoke of Black history and thats simply not allowed. When have White men ever been allowed to talk about Black history? Criticism didnt come up because Paul was being arrogant and condescendingits because hes White. See? First Rand had to explain to us that the founding members of the NAACP were Republicans and how racist the Democrats were and now hes explaining to me that White men cant talk about Black history.
You cannot talk to me about black dependency, black history, slavery, the slave trade, or anything that pertains to me. In fact, I don't want to talk to you about any topic. Because you're an idiot. A racist. A fool. A know-nothing. And a homophobe, to boot.
I came out, as "openly gay", not "flaming or flamboyant", but not hiding my orientation, at 21 years of age...I'm now 60. That's a fucking long time. I long ago got over any trepidation I felt about being gay. I reconciled my relationship with God, midway...actually, when I became clean and sober, some 16 years ago.
So stop speculating on my personal life.

Percent of recipients who are white 38.8 %
Percent of recipients who are black 39.8 %
Percent of recipients who are Hispanic 15.7 %
Percent of recipients who are Asian 2.4 %
Percent of recipients who are Other 3.3 %
Seeing whites make up 70 to 75% of Americans, depending on how you count Hispanics, and blacks, about 12.5%, it would appear that blacks are about 6 times as likely to be on welfare
