EUROPEAN VAMPIRISM & RACISM: The Pervasively Savage War Against The Black People - Hollywood's Systematic Emasculation Of The Black Male, 15 Actors Who Wore A Dress For Success!
"Hollywood has been emasculating African-American men for years. It’s not something I’m saying or making it up. There’s something happening in Hollywood, where you’re seeing African-American men in a dress and it’s making millions of dollars. There’s something demonic about it." - Isaiah Washington, Actor.
November 06, 2013 - HOLLYWOOD - Black men have long been emasculated in America. They were purposely separated from their families during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade and today they continue to be separated from their families due to the prison industrial complex.
During and post slavery, their genitals were also taken as trophy pieces during and after lynchings. This was done to cease reproduction, prevent sex with white women, for entertainment and it was also a warning sign to keep other black men in check.
Nowhere is this emasculation and systematic oppression more prevalent, than in Hollywood. Take a look at the following actors who wore dresses or performed in drag in leading holes on television shows and block buster movies. A perverted and gruesome European agenda to dehumanize black men, as was done in 1970s, when men of color were cast as pimps and hustler or in the 80s and 90s, stereotyped as drug dealers and gang- bangers.
