For Brothers Only: Conference on Partner Violence

Black Man, You Are Key In Helping To Rebuild Our Family and Community and
We Need You NOW In Helping to Protect, Defend, and Heal Our Sistahs
There is much work to be done to "Help End Violence and Abuse" of Africana/Black Females and Only
"Real Black Men" Can Do It !!!

CALL FOR PAPERS
"For Brothers Only" (FBO) Conference is a, one on one, "no holds barred" two day gathering for men (and young males) of African descent who are interested in participating in a solution oriented dialog and interaction that will consist of workshops, forums, etc. in addition to a Community Village Town Hall Meeting that will be streamed through the internet and viewed via cable TV.

The "For Brothers Only" Conference is one of the first of several national infinitives that is being administered by the National Black Women's Defense League (BWDL) and that is being facilitated by the official Brotherhood of the Million Woman Movement known as "Brothers In Support" of MWM.

The BWDL National Task Force's "Enough Is Enough" (EIE) Program that has been uniquely designed and formulated to aggressively attack and address the increasing destructive and dysfunctional behavior that is now clearly evident in reports cases, and other forms of documentation, found nationwide, regarding gender related violence and abuses. With the rate (numbers) of increasing incidents and the types of violence and abuses (too often heinous acts) that are presently in our midst, experts and advocates agree that if this matter is not properly dealt with now we could be easily be seeing in the very near future a very interesting "sociological crisis" particularly for the Black Family and our communities throughout the US.

As the economy in the US sinks more into an dismal irrversible state, as the misrepresentation and disconnect continues in our community and worsens, and as the injustices mounts and become more and more visible, so shall the displaced anger, rage, and and other negative behavior.
And guess who is designated to catch the blunt end of the stick ...
From an international stand point, this year's launching of The MWM "EIE" Program will begin to set the tone and the stage for the necessary bonding and building with Sistahs globally, who voices are too often muted, though they are daily experiencing countless acts of brutally and violations. Massive rapes, forced marriages, enslavement, trafficking, and so forth are just a few of the day to day realities that thousands of our women and girls must endure. It is therefore the intention of the National Task Force to grow/develop into an international program and campaign, beginning in 2013, that will assist in providing education, plans of actions, and necessary services to help better defend and protect natural and human rights and to heal.

Because the present state of visibility of programs, advocacy, and so forth in regards to this matter (gender violence and abuse) exemplify's a disproportionate number of females of African descent involved in issues that are specifically relevant to Black/Africana women and girls, worldwide, and thus those who tend to be seen, heard, and sanctioned are Caucasian and those who follow that type of mind set, the mission of the National Task Force is not only greatly needed in the assurance of clear and representing the views, positions, and overall best interest of Africana women and girls, it is indeed groundbreaking particularly addressing the "whole" matter ; for its focus is not just on "domestic:: but ALL types of violence and abuses inflicted on females of African descent and to do so from an African Holistic Frame of Reference.

The "For Brothers Only" Conference is a two day gathering will take place October 14-15, 2011, in Philly, PA and is open to all who are serious and ready to make a commitment to roll up their sleeves and get busy.

This "For Brothers Only" Conference is kick-off session that will connect Black men nationwide, will also begin the necessary coordination for collective "direct action" as mandated by the National Task Force for the Elimination of Violence and Abuse of Africana/Black Women and Girls that will enable and secure the ability for males of African descent, of all ages and from all walks of life, to candidly and seriously dialogue, examine, network, strategize, and implement solution oriented actions in a progressive and on going manner.

Man Stabs Woman to Death

How to Recover from White Supremacy Type II; Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence is an expression of the patriarchal domination of women, and as per the North American African Community, it is an expression of White Supremacy Type II: our addiction to white supremacy values, although the domination and exploitation of women is pandemic throughout the global village, in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas.

This problem cannot be solved as long as we remain addicted to white supremacy values of women as chattel property of men which is built into the religious order and ritual, and is part of male and female socialization. This calls for radical change of the most profound order. Apparently, even women armed with guns is not enough to stop men for violent sexual assault and other forms of abuse, including murder. In the US military, 30% of women suffer sexual assault or violence by their male comrades. Men are predators who seem to think they own the woman, that she has no human rights apart from serving man or whatever the gender of the dominant partner, including gay and lesbian relationships.

Expect no change in social behavior until we go through the process of detoxification and recovery from the addiction to white supremacy. Any other solution is poppycock.

While politicians and so called anti-violence advocates call for rap and clap meetings, hyped displays of actions to "stop the violence" in the streets, and the so called crack down on guns in hood, our Sistahs are being beaten, stabbed, burned, and bludgeoned to death with little being said or done and routinely dismissed.

With their two young sons just an apartment wall away, a Cheltenham man stabbed his children’s mother to death early Tuesday morning during a domestic argument, according to authorities. Authorities have charged Clive S. Thompson, 28, of the Lynnewood Gardens Apartments, with first and third degree murder for the slaying of Olivia Thompson, 26, shortly after midnight in the couple’s apartment.

Olivia Thompson died from one “large” stab wound to the upper abdomen delivered from a large butcher knife, according to Montgomery County First Assistant District Attorney Kevin R. Steele. The weapon, found on the floor of the bedroom in which Olivia Thompson had been killed, had an eight inch blade, said Steele. It was taken from the apartment’s kitchen.

Authorities Tuesday were still trying to determine the marital relationship between the two. Friends of Olivia Thompson told authorities the pair had been married but, because of Clive Thompson’s “infidelity issues,” the pair filed for divorce and that Olivia Thompson told them the divorce was finalized in March.

Investigators could find no record of the marriage or divorce. One friend said that Olivia Thompson wanted Clive Thompson out of the apartment immediately while another friend said she had given Thompson until the end of July to move out.

The couple was at home with their two sons, ages 4 and 8, when an argument broke out shortly before midnight. The 8-year-old was in the living room watching television when he heard his mother scream from her bedroom. Following the scream, Clive Thompson came out and told the boy to go into his bedroom and shut the door.

Authorities do not believe either boy witnessed the murder of their mother.
One complex resident said she was outside at about 11:45 p.m. Monday when she heard a woman screaming “at the top of her lungs” at someone to “get out.” The resident said the woman sounded “hurt or scared.”

A friend of Clive Thompson’s said he received a call from a “frantic” Clive Thompson, telling him to come to “come quick” to the apartment because he had stabbed Olivia Thompson and needed to take her to the hospital. When the friend arrived, he found Olivia Thompson lying on the bed in the master bedroom and bleeding from a knife wound. Clive Thompson was not at the apartment. The friend called 911 and administered first aid that was continued by police and emergency medical personnel but their efforts were unsuccessful.

Clive Thompson turned himself in to authorities at about 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, claiming, “I am sorry I did it, so sorry,” according to authorities.
Cheltenham police reported one prior contact with the couple this month. That occurred June 21 when police responded to a report of a domestic disturbance. At that time, Olivia Thompson reported that Clive Thompson would not leave the apartment. Authorities did not indicate how that situation was resolved.
Clive Thompson is being held without bail at the Montgomery County Prison. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for July 7.

Of the Frenchman the maid

Of the Frenchman and the maid

If it is true that the Frenchman who is charged with raping the maid in his $3,000.00 per night hotel suite, it is past time to discuss the mythology of pussy.

There is no time to cherry pick and nik pick words about a disgusting act of pathological sexual behavior. If the allegations are proven true, we suspect the gentleman who was in charge of the IMF and in line to be the next president of France, surely suffered a break with reality and retreated to a form of infantile behavior or shall we call it animalistic, certainly we would not suspect such behavior from a man in charge of bailing out Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Ireland--and maybe the great USA soon.

Yet, we have written about broken systems/broken minds. This gentleman fits the description if the allegations are proven true. Rape is an act of violence, pure and simple. And men with power often become totally delusional, thinking they own the world and all the women therein. Male rape is pandemic as well!

Why would a man of this stature not call a dating service, if he had sexual needs, surely he had the means, thus we think there is a question of his sanity, unless we must put him among those ignut men who still don't get it, that they don't have a pussy, no, not even the lowly maid's pussy belongs to them, tip notwithstandin.

During my exile in Mexico City, we had a live in maid, but my adviser told me not to have sex with the maid, don't even think about it. Number one, she will not want to clean shit after becoming emotionally involved.

Those persons in theatre and entertainment are surely aware of the danger of having sex with actors, especially before a production: it can ruin the entire production if either of the persons develop emotional problems, especially with the director and/or producer, but between actors as well.

And yet men (and women) often don't get it, even after being warned. Poor Kobe Bryant surely paid a high price for fucking his maid, including a six million dollar ring to sooth relations with his wife.

After persons read my most controversial piece of writing Mythology of Pussy (renamed Mythology of Love), men and women appear to get it. The men learn they don't own the woman and most especially her pussy. And nor does she own their dick. I am intentionally speaking as raw as I can because this subject is a pandemic, worldwide, men are performing acts of violence upon women and we wonder when will it end?

We see the necessity of a complete revamping of the male/female mythological order. The very idea of manhood and womanhood must be radically changed, especially from the religious foundation and other cultural and psychosocial rites and values, whether in simple male/female relations or ultimately in marriage.

The mythology and rituals perpetuate violence with the concept of ownership, yes, chattel property. Ironically, the church discovered long ago that the priesthood must be celibate in order to preserve property rights, yet it continued to enforce marriage rites that were de facto chattel slavery or personal property slavery. We will not discuss the result of sexual depravity as a result of celibacy.

And so once married, the mates accept that they own each other, that they are willing to kill over said ownership that include exclusive sexual rights/rites. The result is worldwide oppression of women and sometimes men. Even children and youth in their partner relations have been socialized to believe they own each other. Of course this is done in the name of Love, though we wonder what does ownership have to do with love, especially love that results in the often oppressive and violent treatment that puts mates in the hospital and/or grave.

confessions of a wife beater

Confession of an Ex-Wife Beater

Confession of an Ex-Wife Beater

I beat her because she loved me

I beat her

Gouged my fingers into her eyes

Stomped her on the floor

Because she loved my dirty drawers

I beat her

Put my hands on her throat and squeezed

Until her eyes looked like marbles

I beat her

Because she loved me

Because she gave me a child

That looked just like me

I beat her

Because I stood trembling

Watching the child ooze from her womb

I beat her

Because she wouldn’t give me some pussy

I tore her panties off and took the pussy

I beat her

Then said to her, “Baby, I love you so much.

You’re so precious to me, let me kiss you.”

And she let me

Then I beat her for letting me

Because I was drunk

Too much rum

I beat her

Too much weed

I beat her

Too much coke

I beat her

My you are so precious to me

I beat her

My I love you so much baby

I beat her

Because she was faithful

Because she was patient

I beat her

While my child stood terrified

I beat her

Kicked her

Sat on her

Punched her in the mouth

In my madness

Because she said the wrong word

Because she said nothing

Because she said the right word

Because she said too many words

Because she had a thought

Independent of mine

I beat her

Knocked her too the floor

Because she called the police

I beat her

How could she call the white man on me

As Black as I was

I beat her

Because she called her mama

I beat her

Because she called the operator

I beat her

Because she picked up the telephone

I beat her

Because she left me and I found her hiding in the closet

I beat her because I took her to Mexico and she wasn’t happy

I beat her because I took her to New York

And she didn’t smile

I beat her

Because I was sick

And she told me so.

I beat her.

--Marvin X, from In the Name of Love, Laney College Theatre, 1981

I Shot Him

I shot him

Because he loved me

He loved me so much he came home smelling

Like his other bitch’s pussy

I shot him

I didn’t kill him

But I shot him

Because I got the phone bill

And saw he’d called his other bitch

On my birthday

I shot him

Cause I got papers on him

Yeah, I got papers on the motherfucker

To use his filthy language

I shot him

And I ain’t sharing him with nobody

I don’t care what the Muslims say

Bout a nigguh can have four wives

I don’t care what the Holy Qur’an say

I don’t care bout the African tradition of polygamy

I don’t care how many mo women it is for every man

I shot him

I don’t care if women are turning lesbian and bisexual

Cause they don’t want no man

I want my man. I love my man

But I shot him!

Partner Violence and Spirituality

By Marvin X

"I beat her because she loved me."— mx

Any semblance of partner or domestic violence is antithetical to spirituality. No person who beats another can claim spiritual consciousness, rather they should claim animal consciousness. And no matter what any scripture says, I say domestic violence or partner violence must be outlawed totally and absolutely, no matter where it exists anywhere on the planet earth, simply because it does no good whatsoever, and ultimately drains the sand out the hour glass of love and respect between human beings.

It has a traumatic effect on the mate and children, thus it must be avoided at all cost. To beat another human being is the height of savagery and men, in particular, must rise above savagery and step up to their divinity.

I speak as one who was such a savage and it was all to no avail. In the end, the sand was indeed drained out of the hour glass of love and respect. I subjected my family to great pain, literally, and suffering, and many times it was due to my altered state of mind, i.e., drugs and alcohol. Too much domestic and partner violence is initiated when one or both partners are in an altered state of mind, so we must be advised to check yourself before you wreck yourself.

You know the ritual: even before the first drink someone is angry, then the drink, then another and another until the wrong word is said and its on. But the alcohol was the devil who forced up old issues that were supposedly resolved, old pain, wounds, treachery, sexual improprieties, money, anything, even jealousy between mates, or some other evil thought or suggestion due to the altered state of mind. Yes, loose lip sink ships, and we can be very loose with the devil juice or some other drug that diminishes any possibility of anger management.

Before we know, what started out as a beautiful evening turns into a nightmare: blood is flowing, bones broken, police in the house, somebody goes to jail, another goes to the hospital or morgue, children are taken to child protective services. The mental damage is irreparable.

I wrote a play (In the Name of Love) about my madness which my ex-wife and daughter came to see. After the play my daughter asked me why did I need to tell all that stuff about how I beat her mother. I told her it was for the healing of myself and the community.

Years later I gave a reading and my ex-wife was there. A poet requested I read the poem about domestic violence (Confession of An Ex-wife Beater, see Dr. Julia Hare's How to Find A BWM, chapter, The Violent Male) that was in the play. At first I resisted because the poem had been in the play that my wife and daughter had seen, and since my ex had come to the reading to support me, I certainly didn't want to upset her. But the poet insisted I read the poem, so I did. And it did indeed upset my ex--when we got to her house, she claimed she'd never heard the poem before. I couldn't convince her that she had, and furthermore, she said I had never apologized for beating her, so I apologized, and of course it ruined our evening since her suppressed memory was jolted. But some healing occurred so I thank the poet for forcing me to read the poem, Lamont Steptoe.

We can't imagine what we do to each others psyche with partner violence, let alone what it does to us physically. And things go from bad to worse, so if we don't' get started we won't need to stop.

I suggest therapy at the first sign of physical violence because it is possible to save relationships with therapy before police or relatives intervene.

Dr. Nathan Hare suggests couples need not break up due to violence, but I say it is unacceptable and must not occur for one moment because things go from bad to worse, and certainly, people professing spiritual consciousness must be above physical abuse, although emotional and verbal abuse is just as bad.

We are a people in need of much healing before we can come together, far too many times we come together and don't know a damn thing about each other, then all hell breaks loose, we discover we're in the house with a monster, a devil, a beast. Then we have babies by the monster, the beast. And it's possible we're both monsters, neither one can claim a clean bill of health.

But let us renounce violence at the outset, then proceed to process the emotional issues, since we know we come together far from a state of divinity and have much healing work to do before we can claim spirituality.

Marvin X on Partner Violence,

A Pauline Conversion

On the matter of partner violence, Marvin X long ago experienced a Pauline conversion, similar to how Saul suffered a conversion on the road to Damascus and transformed into Paul, the champion of Christianity. Marvin's conversion was not religious but perhaps spiritual for he has come to recognize women as spiritual beings in human form, thus they are not to be treated lightly or rather roughly.

He has well documented his domestic violence in his plays and poetry, especially the poem Confession of an ex-wife beater and the play In the Name of Love, Laney College Theatre, 1980.
There is no woman who can say he laid a hand on them in recent years. He rarely argues with women but prefers to stay in the no stress zone. His solution for domestic peace these days is to exercise the language of love, in which he stresses silence due to the psycholinguistic crisis inherent in our use of the English or American language, wherein words are most often misunderstood and lead to violence because we have lost the art of diplomatic conversation in male/female relations, especially when mind altered drugs are involved, especially alcohol, those distilled spirits who soon are no longer still.

Of course women have no choice but to use their mouths in confrontation with men, since they often lack the physical power to subdue men. They resort to verbal violence or emotional violence, a kind of revenge to ultimately win the battle of the sexes.

But the truth is that domestic or partner violence is pandemic, a global nightmare in every religion and every nation on the planet earth. It has become the scourge of humanity, and yet it shall persist until the patriarchal mythological order perpetuated by men is destroyed, yes, all the myths that make females chattel property must be cast into the dustbin of history.

Women who buy into the myth must be detoxed and recover. It is not about feminism or misogyny, but about recognizing the spirituality of all human beings, whether male or female.
As per females, Phavia says it best in her poem Yo, Yo, Yo, "If you think I am just a physical thing, wait til you see the spiritual power I bring." So there is no need to think in gender specific terms but simply think of each other as spiritual beings in human form, thus we are not to be abused, harmed, disrespected, neglected in any way, shape or form, physically, verbally or emotionally.

I have come to hate partner violence with the Passion of Paul. I wish it could be wiped from the face of the earth tonight, though it won't happen until people come into the new spiritual consciousness sweeping the world. For sure, partner violence is part of the Slave System, based on religious mythology, whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Yoruba, Rasta. This mythological system lies in the deep structure of said religions, but it must be uprooted or the religions will be uprooted when the people achieve true spiritual consciousness. Of course it is also rooted in the capitalist slave system (Ed Howard term) that debases human beings outright with wage slavery that perpetuates stress leading directly to partner and/or domestic violence. Persons are stressed at not receiving a living wage, then often practice misplaced aggression onto their partner rather than confronting their greedy capitalist boss who has been pimping them to death. In their cowardice, men beat their women into a pulp yet let the greedy boss escape their wrath, while the women have been nothing but dutiful slaves to their husbands, washing their dirty drawers, caring for their children, while often working full time themselves to compliment their wage slave mates.

Only a workers revolution can really solve this problem that entails a redistribution of the wealth stolen by the capitalist blood suckers of the poor. When the economic order is a slave system, the entire society is reduced to such, for all institutions contribute to the whole demonic social economic order.

The education system must be thrown into the dustbin of history as well, along with the other archaic institutions that perpetuate such madness. Children are dropping out of school and shall continue to do so simply because they are smarter than their teachers and parents. They know school is bullshit, a perpetuation of the slave system and they reject it outright. Yes, they are that smart, smart enough not to be hoodwinked and bamboozled by an educational system that is totally irrelevant to the lives they live in the hood. After all, their teachers are trained to only instruct a curriculum that perpetuates the world of make believe.

We feel sorry for the new Mayor of Oakland, Jean Quan, who tonight called for 2000 mentors to help Oakland youth, yet help them do what, adjust to the slave system of white supremacy education that robbed their parents of their humanity and spirituality? It is the educational system that has taught our youth they should be treated as chattel slaves or the personal property of each other. Otherwise, why would the boys think they own the girls, or girls own other girls or boys own other boys?


As per women, the tragedy is how they become addicted to partner violence but exercise the typical classical denial of the addicted personality. They make excuses for their mate, even imagine him to be a good guy, even when he has taken them to the edge of death.

It is a sick state of mind and the women in this condition need to be taken to a shelter where they can detox and recover from their addiction to madness, for one human who beats another into submission is mad, insane, a danger to himself and others. And the person who accepts such inhumane treatment is sick as well, quite similar to the relationship, if not exactly the same, of the oppressor to the oppressed. Dr. Nathan Hare says that there can be no master except when one agrees to be a slave.

Yes, we come to love oppression, even make excuses for the oppressor: he didn't mean it, he really loves loves me, I deserved it cause I hit him first or I talked about his mama or his little penis!

The truth is that we have monsters in our midst, men who are drunk on this patriarchal mythology and must be taken to a detox center, and meanwhile the women who are addicted must themselves be taken to a safe place.

Only when they both recover should there be any consideration to the possibility of reconciliation. Only when they discover they are both spiritual beings in human form and must be treated thusly, should they be allowed to come together.

Meanwhile, the community must intervene to help the helpless, especially those women in denial and who wish to continue in their inordinancy blindly wandering on, as the Qur'an says. They are a danger to themselves and others, especially their children who are traumatized as well and then grow up to emulate violent social interaction, especially in male/female relations.

And please don't tell me you love the one you with and he/she loves you, for this is a bold face lie, because you don't even know the one you with and he/she doesn't know you. If you knew you were dealing with a spiritual being in human form, we know you would not abuse them or be abused by them. So you are living a lie. You don't know jack shit about your mate, more than likely you met them in a din of iniquity and had nothing but lust on your mind.

And even if you met them at church or the majed is still no reason to think you know them. The Nation of Islam used to refer to matches as thirty day wonder marriages, for they lasted all of thirty days, long enough to allow the persons to get their sex jones off, then they divorced, thus could not be charged with fornication.

But the tragedy is the amount of marriages that last for years under the cloud of ignorance as I say in my poem You Don't Know Me. There are persons who have been together for thirty years yet are total strangers. They don't have a clue who they are in bed with, but fake the funk, as they say in the hood.

And let us not talk about the golden handcuff syndrome, yes, those bourgeoisie persons who live well heeled to the extent they endure the most wretched partner abuse, yet because of the material comforts continue to endure it, these are often the professional class that includes doctors, lawyers, engineers, professors, lobbyists, et al. In their gated communities they live lives more wretched than the persons pushing shopping carts and enjoying rot gut wine.

Again, I am horrified of this partner violence. How naive I was to think because I stopped the world stopped. What kind of bubble was I in? I have a friend in prison who stabbed his woman 16 times and threw her onto the freeway. Just the other day I heard a couple talking downtown Oakland. The man told the woman he was going to sniff some powder cocaine and return to kill her. What savagery is this and how long can this go on?

And the virus has infected our children. Girls 16-25 years old are suffering a high rate of partner abuse. We must jump out of the box of ignorance and wretchedness, no matter the cause, whether mythological, economic, religious, political or whatever.

We must, can and will come into the understanding we are spiritual beings in human form, i.e., divine beings in the image of God and Goddess. Thus we must step up from savagery to civility, from animal to divine, and we must do this now, overnight or suffer a severe chastisement. You see events are moving in the universe at a rapid pace. One need only look at events in the Middle East and Africa. The universe is on the move and if you don't move with it, you shall be removed, fast, quit and in a hurry. I warn you, you must get into the flow of the flow of the universe that is moving toward absolute righteousness, up from slavery and ignorance. Does not your Bible tell you the people were destroyed for lack of knowledge?

For all my violent behavior against the women who loved me, it caught up with me in the drug culture when I was attacked on numerous occasions, stabbed, guns pulled on me, bum rushed, robbed, etc.

As with Job, I knew it was God allowing the devil to teach me a lesson. We know God told Job you can do any and everything to him but kill him, and so I survived it all to tell you the above words. Hopefully, a hint to the wise is sufficient.

If anything, beat your boss, as a woman who called into a radio station said to me, "Beat your boss, asshole!"

Domestic Violence Fact Sheet

Domestic violence, also called intimate partner violence (IVP), partner abuse, and spousal abuse, is a serious, preventable public health problem that affects millions of Americans. The terms domestic violence or intimate partner violence describe physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse. This type of violence can occur among heterosexual or same-sex couples and does not require sexual intimacy.

Domestic violence can vary in frequency and severity. It often starts with emotional abuse. This behavior can progress to physical or sexual assault, and several types of domestic violence may occur together.

Types of Domestic Violence

There are four main types of intimate partner violence (Saltzman et al. 2002):

• Physical violence is the intentional use of physical force with the potential for causing death, disability, injury, or harm. Physical violence includes, but is not limited to, scratching; pushing; shoving; throwing; grabbing; biting; choking; shaking; slapping; punching; burning; use of a weapon; and use of restraints or one's body, size, or strength against another person.

• Sexual violence is divided into three categories: 1) use of physical force to compel a person to engage in a sexual act against his or her will, whether or not the act is completed; 2) attempted or completed sex act involving a person who is unable to understand the nature or condition of the act, to decline participation, or to communicate unwillingness to engage in the sexual act, e.g., because of illness, disability, or the influence of alcohol or other drugs, or because of intimidation or pressure; and 3) abusive sexual contact.

• Threats of physical or sexual violence use words, gestures, or weapons to communicate the intent to cause death, disability, injury, or physical harm.

• Psychological/emotional violence involves trauma to the victim caused by acts, threats of acts, or coercive tactics. Psychological/emotional abuse can include, but is not limited to, humiliating the victim, controlling what the victim can and cannot do, withholding information from the victim, deliberately doing something to make the victim feel diminished or embarrassed, isolating the victim from friends and family, and denying the victim access to money or other basic resources. It is considered psychological/emotional violence when there has been prior physical or sexual violence or prior threat of physical or sexual violence. In addition, stalking is often included among the types of IPV. Stalking generally refers to "harassing or threatening behavior that an individual engages in repeatedly, such as following a person, appearing at a person's home or place of business, making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or objects, or vandalizing a person's property" (Tjaden & Thoennes 1998).

Domestic Violence Is A Serious Public Health Problem

• Each year, women experience about 4.8 million intimate partner related physical assaults and rapes. Men are the victims of about 2.9 million intimate partner related physical assaults. (Tjaden and Thoennes 2000).
• Intimate partner abuse resulted in 2,340 deaths in 2007. Of these deaths, 70% were females and 30% were males. (Bureau of Justice Statistics 2011).
• The medical care, mental health services, and lost productivity (e.g., time away from work) cost of domestic violence was an estimated $5.8 billion in 1995. Updated to 2003 dollars, that’s more than $8.3 billion. (CDC 2003; Max et al. 2004).
• Physical violence by an intimate partner has also been associated with a number of adverse health outcomes (Breiding, Black, and Ryan, 2008). Several health conditions associated with intimate partner violence may be a direct result of the physical violence (for example, bruises, knife wounds, broken bones, back or pelvic pain, headaches). Studies have also demonstrated the impact of intimate partner violence on the endocrine and immune systems through chronic stress or other mechanisms (Crofford, 2007; Leserman and Drossman, 2007) Examples include:
• Fibromyalgia
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Gynecological disorders
• Pregnancy difficulties like low birth weight babies and perinatal deaths
• Sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS
• Central nervous system disorders
• Gastrointestinal disorders
• Heart or circulatory conditions
• Children may become injured during violent incidents between their parents. A large overlap exists between intimate partner violence and child maltreatment (Appel and Holden 1998).
• Physical violence is typically accompanied by emotional or psychological abuse (Tjaden and Thoennes 2000). IPV-whether sexual, physical, or psychological-can lead to various psychological consequences for victims (Bergen 1996; Coker et al. 2002; Heise and Garcia-Moreno 2002; Roberts, Klein, and Fisher 2003):
• Depression
• Antisocial behavior
• Suicidal behavior in females
• Anxiety
• Low self-esteem
• Inability to trust others, especially in intimate relationships
• Fear of intimacy
• Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder
• Emotional detachment
• Sleep disturbances
• Flashbacks
• Replaying assault in the mind
• Women with a history of intimate partner abuse are more likely to display behaviors that present further health risks (e.g., substance abuse, alcoholism, suicide attempts) than women without a history of intimate partner abuse.
• Partner abuse is associated with a variety of negative health behaviors (Heise and Garcia-Moreno 2002; Plichta 2004; Roberts, Auinger, and Klein 2005; Silverman et al. 2001). Studies show that the more severe the violence, the stronger its relationship to negative health behaviors by victims.
• Engaging in high-risk sexual behavior
• Unprotected sex
• Decreased condom use
• Early sexual initiation
• Choosing unhealthy sexual partners
• Multiple sex partners
• Trading sex for food, money, or other items
• Using harmful substances
• Smoking cigarettes
• Drinking alcohol
• Drinking alcohol and driving
• Illicit drug use
• Unhealthy diet-related behaviors
• Fasting
• Vomiting
• Abusing diet pills
• Overeating
• Overuse of health services

Risk Factors for Domestic Violence

Risk factors are associated with a greater likelihood of intimate partner violence victimization or perpetration. They are contributing factors and may or may not be direct causes. Not everyone who is identified as "at risk" becomes involved in violence.

Some risk factors for domestic violence victimization and perpetration are the same. In addition, some risk factors for victimization and perpetration are associated with one another; for example, childhood physical or sexual victimization is a risk factor for future perpetration and victimization.

A combination of individual, relational, community, and societal factors contribute to the risk of becoming a victim or perpetrator of IPV. Understanding these multilevel factors can help identify various opportunities for prevention.

Individual Risk Factors

• Low self-esteem
• Low income
• Low academic achievement
• Young age
• Aggressive or delinquent behavior as a youth
• Heavy alcohol and drug use
• Depression
• Anger and hostility
• Antisocial personality traits
• Borderline personality traits
• Prior history of being physically abusive
• Having few friends and being isolated from other people
• Unemployment
• Emotional dependence and insecurity
• Belief in strict gender roles (e.g., male dominance and aggression in relationships)
• Desire for power and control in relationships
• Perpetrating psychological aggression
• Being a victim of physical or psychological abuse (consistently one of the strongest predictors of perpetration)
• History of experiencing poor parenting as a child
• History of experiencing physical discipline as a child

Relationship Factors

• Marital conflict-fights, tension, and other struggles
• Marital instability-divorces or separations
• Dominance and control of the relationship by one partner over the other
• Economic stress
• Unhealthy family relationships and interactions

Community Factors

• Poverty and associated factors (e.g., overcrowding)
• Low social capital-lack of institutions, relationships, and norms that shape a community's social interactions
• Weak community sanctions against violence (e.g., unwillingness of neighbors to intervene in situations where they witness violence)

Societal Factors

• Traditional gender norms (e.g., women should stay at home, not enter workforce, and be submissive; men support the family and make the decisions)
• Oppressive mythological values rooted in patriarchal religions that define women as the chattel property of men, thus the partner can be subjected to physical, mental and emotional abuse that is sanctioned by the religions, whether Christianity, Islam, Judaism, traditional African, Vudun, Rasta, Yoruba, et al.
  

  Fathers Sing Blues Too
  
  Fathers get the blues too
  like mothers
  over children
  worry bout them
  think about them
  try to be example for them
  sometimes children don't get it
  repeat lessons mama and daddy did
  childhood ghosts appear
  and they are not sure why
  yet father knows like mama
  parental instinct
  vibe
  
  photo Pendarvis Harshaw
  
  
  father can tell when children not happy
  long before they decide to talk and cry
  we knew from the beginning it wasn't going to work
  but said nothing
  keep out of children's bizness
  they grown
  let them sink or swim
  but unhappiness is unacceptable
  father can't stand unhappy child
  when all the while we knew
  we knew our baby had the blues
  they didn't know each other
  they never do in America
  they don't ask dad or mom
  just hook up wit some nigguh
  in the name of love
  that wasn't love
  maybe lust in the night
  a momentary thing
  tension reliever
  but not love
  not steel that sharpens steel
  some unequal thing that should've never happened
  wasn't meant to be
  and never will be
  only for a moment
  a child
  then departure
  for another
  same person
  different name.
  
  father knows
  like mother
  call it instinct
  a vibe
  father sings the blues
  worries hair out
  wish he never had these kids
  sometimes
  cause they always have problems
  even grown
  especially then
  big problems then
  not little kid problems
  we listen
  advise
  hope they will do the right thing finally
  to be happy.

Partner Violence

and

Parable of the Dick Slave

You desire domination over your mate, your pussy. You own it, it is your chattel or personal property. And the woman, in her companion view, claims to own your dick. The pussy and dick drama is on. She is also addicted to white supremacy ideas of ownership and domination, thus she will kill over her dick, just as he will over her pussy. Yet we are supposedly free human beings, not property of each other, love slaves, if you will.

The NFL quarterback McNair (RIP) was shot four times in his sleep because he was giving up dick across town. Even though he had a wife, one of his girlfriends obviously thought she had "papers" on his dick. And we know the Thanksgiving Day present Tiger received for trying to make his booty call. Clearly his wife thinks she has eternal rights to his dick. Oh, this is called marriage?The whole matter cost Tiger a few hundred million and he has yet to regain his composure to play golf at his optimum.

I was asked why I did not advocate marriage in Mythology of Dick and Pussy (www.mythologyofdickandpussy.blogspot.com). Nor will I advocate marriage here. When the blind lead the blind they both fall into the ditch together. Marriage should await revolution, otherwise it is doomed to failure as we see in the present 50% divorce rate.

Marriage in this society is another gamble in futility, though we praise those couples strong enough the remain together in the midst of this hell hole called capitalist swine America. The present marital structure is a product of the full blown addiction to white supremacy materialism or conspicuous consumption, wherein the man and woman are cogs in the wheel of global wage slavery.

They are merely consumers for the capitalist blood suckers of the poor. The wife conspires and collaborates with the capitalist pimps to enslave the husband and addict him as well to consumerism until he and she retire dirt poor with all the concomitant diseases of the hostile environment they've endured throughout life.

As an additional form of social control, she conspires with the preacher to demand church attendance of her man, making him bow down at the alter of another pimp in the name of the Lord. The poor man's dick is caught in the vice of wage slavery pimps, the preacher, police and the deaf, dumb and blind wife or mate. Again, Dr. Nathan Hare:
"Of all the many disorders and distortions that plague the black male, each and every day, perhaps the ones that take the heaviest tool on his ravished brain are those that--if not contained by armed resistance--revolve around the painful difficulty of gaining control over his individual and collective destiny, around what is known in mental health circles as "the locus of control," the dilemma of resistance to the enemy from without and the enemy from within (including the self, if we consider that there can be no master without those who, for whatever reason, are willing to be a slave....)"

The dick and pussy drama is thus a product of the capitalist society, though it originates in primitive culture, especially in the mythology and ritual of religions such as Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but traditional African religions as well, although some African religions have a more balanced approach to gender relations, more sexual equality and inheritance rights. There is polygamy (plural wives) and polyandry (plural husbands).

In these societies, pussy and dick relations are thus more equitable and we would therefore imagine social relations more peaceful and successful, although Africa is currently suffering widespread partner abuse and rape is pandemic. In short, the dick is running wild in Africa! Still, there are those Afrocentric "Kemetic" scholars who suggest we return to the philosophy of Ma'at or Egyptian religion of ten thousand years ago as a way out of our morass and before we slip over the precipice.

Getting the masses of North American Africans to return to Ma'at or African philosophy is at best a romantic notion, with as much chance as the Egyptian mythology of Isis finding and reconstructing the dick of her husband Osiris. And then again, it may indeed take the black woman to reclaim her man's dick or phallus, retrieving it and her pussy from the ravages of the addiction to white supremacy.

For now, the norm is patriarchal domination, consistent with the capitalist society of ownership of property, domination and oppression of men, women and children--yes, the children are addicted to greedy capitalist materialism as well, the learned behavior from their parents. Imagine the gullible fools we are: a young sister was downtown Oakland coming out of Footlocker with three pair of tennis shoes that cost $370.00, made in China for 50 cents per pair.
We must face the sad reality that we are not in Africa, but captives of the West, of the white man's values, sadly addicted to his dick and pussy drama until we decide to detox and recover from such aberrant social behavior that is antithetical to our psychosocial health.

Parable of Woman in the Box

Parable of the Woman in the Box

There was a woman who lived inside a box. Her whole life had been spent inside the little box, squeezed in from all sides. She never went outside the box. People brought her food to eat but she ate it inside the four walls of the box. She was cramped to the point of being crippled because she could never stand up inside the box. Not only her body but her brain and spirit were crippled from living inside the box.

Her thinking was confined to what she could imagine inside the box, and that was very little, no big grand thoughts, only micro imaginings. Even her God was a little god, one that fit into the box. She could not envision her God outside and that her God ruled the whole world, not just her little world inside the box.

Now and then she would beat on the walls of her box in a vain attempt to break them down and escape. But whenever she did, someone would come by and whisper to her to be quiet, she was making noise and disturbing other people.

She would comply with their request, trying to be nice, since she really was a nice person, she just didn't know how to escape the box. And she had to be nice to the person who brought her food because they might not return if she got angry and loud, started screaming, hollering and foaming at the mouth. Inside the box, she lived the life of a stunted woman, her mental growth stunted as well.

She could not imagine the finer things of life, or how she might expand her spiritual development. She did not know how she might be able to fend for herself, make her own money for food and other things she needed, even if she stayed inside the box, but she really wanted to get out. Somehow she gathered the energy to have a thought that went beyond the box, energy that would stop her from being a stunted woman, unable to stand tall and rise from her condition inside the box.

She began to figure a way out, a way to free herself, mind, body and soul. She had to do some hard thinking but she was determined to liberate herself. She saw nails in the walls and began to tinker with them, push them a little with her fingernails, then wiggled around and backed into one wall, then the
other. After a time, she could see a little break between the walls. She came up with a name for the nails that kept her down. One nail she called ignorance. She knocked and knocked until it loosened. Then she beat and pressured another nail in the box she called passivity. When she put counter pressure on that nail the box started shaking.

She tinkered with another nail she called lack of desire and will. Then she started talking to the walls, telling them to open up she was coming out. She
even told her little God to give her a hand. Her little God gave her a hand. Some people came by and seeing the walls shaking, tried to pound on the nails, but the woman commanded the nails to stop in their tracks and they did as she commanded. She continued her resistance until the walls of the box gave in and was able to gradually stand and eventually began to do a little dance.

You Don't Know Me

By Marvin X

You don't know me

you had a chance to know me

before we made love

you had a chance to know my mind

understand my fears

learn about issues

help me heal some things

but you wanted to make love

so you don't know me

we made love

but you don't know me

don't have a clue

think I'm a good dick

or some good tight pussy

but you don't know me

and never will now

because you wanted to make love

you wanted to get a nut

we didn't even talk much

a little bit leading up to sex

I went along

I was horny too

but you don't know me

and I don't know you

now we never will

we blew it forever

because we made love

too fast too quick too soon

now you think you own me

I can't breathe

can't talk on the phone to friends

because we made love

because I gave you some dick

you gave me some pussy

now I'm no longer human

I'm your love slave

you're my slave

we're in love

but you don't know me

we gonna get married

but you don't know me

we're gonna have children

but you don't know me

you're gonna beat my ass

but you don't know me

you're going to jail

but you don't know me

we're getting a divorce

but you don't know me

now we're friends

"Just Friends" Charlie Parker tune

But you don't know me

and never will.
