Undercova Brothas

[strawberryz04]

Recently my friend told me abouth this book about seemingly straight guys who mess around with other guys on the d.l but claim they aren't gay. Some guys even go on o having unprotected sex with these guys and passing std's on to their wives.

Ladies what do you think of this and have you ever had a b/f or ex turn out to be on he d.l.? It's crazy because the fine football playerz at school be the main d.l onez. what do u think?

Book Title: On the Down Low: A Journey Into the Lives of "Straight" Black Men Who Sleep with Men

What's the shock about?
Listen people. This stuff has been going on for years. Have we really been blind to it or have we chosen to ignore it? Did it really take a book (average one at best) to expose this lifestyle. The reason why the lifestyle is taking over our African-American men(especially in the church) is the same reason we have alot of unwed mothers, divorces, etc. The church has ignored sexuality for so long, now it's literally slapping them in the face. It's a shame to say that these issues (in the past) were never addressed in the church and was always seen as taboo. Well, teenagers were having sex, men were sleeping around on there wives and vice versa, people were becoming more acquainted with self-pleasure. So, why is all this a shock......Sistas? This book not only exposes the "DL" - you call it "DL", I call it undercover gay - brotha, it sheds a light on sistas and their desperation. Many sistas will settle for any man just to have a warm body and that is sad. Everybody sees that something is suspicious about this brotha but you? Unfortunately, me being a person who grew up in the church I saw this stuff going on (musicians, deacons, pastors, elders, bishops) and I was just a kid. I know everybody else saw it so why wasn't anybody saying anything about it. Well, the church was so consumed with the idea of going to Heaven that they weren't paying anthing else any attention. Plus, that stuff was taboo and you couldn't talk about it in the church. Then also, the church has had a problem with judgemental spirits. They judge people before they really know anything about them. Well, I just want to say that I have to love people for who they are, but I don't have to love what they do. Having sex with another man is homosexual intercourse. It's not "DL" brothas or anything else. You have homosexual tendencies and it's just a matter of which desire wins. When you sleep with a man more than you sleep with your wife, you are gay. And when you bring children into this mess it's heartbreaking. Like I said, this is not some new phenomenon just because Oprah had it on her show. I know she's got pull like that, but this is something that has been going on since the Old Testament (Read Leviticus). The question is, when is the church going to stop ignoring it and deal with it the way God wants us to deal with it? Not in a judgemental spirit, but in a loving, long-suffering, patient, gentle, and meek spirit. Don't forget humble, because all of us (people in the church) don't have it together like we think we do. Anyway, I just wanted to make a comment on the material of the book. The book wasn't even that well written and it did ramble at times. It does however bring 21st century exposure to a lifestyle that has existed since the days that Noah walked the Earth. Wake up people, it's there and it's not going anywhere.
