Homosexuality in prison serves as an outlet as not only to preserve ones sanity but as a way of survival (Rust 253). Criminologist Paula Rust states in her book homosexuality arises in situations of sexual deprivation from the opposite sex. Amongst the inmates their homosexual acts do not make them homosexuals only because they view their actions as situational. Others try to use this sense of sexual deprivation to their advantage and use homosexuality as a way of survival in prison. For example, the femme female (a seeming homosexual female that looks and acts like the stereotypical woman) will seek a masculine female or stud that will find them attractive in a prison setting and use them as a form of protection.
In the Racism and Research: the case of the Tuskegee Syphilis study by Allan M Brandt, the main discussion points were the experiment to determine the natural course of untreated latent syphilis in the black males, the unethical way they went on to conduct their experiment, and the racist believe that were more likely to obtain and pass on syphilis. The result of the study showed that the experiment main focus was on the pathology of racism and not much about the pathology of syphilis. The actual syphilis experiment showed that “syphilis in this period [latency] tends to greatly increase of manifestations of cardiovascular disease.” (Brandt, pg. 25) Also, that 30 percent or more of the subject in the test group autopsies shows they had directly
Essex Hemphill’s XXIV In many of his writings, Essex Hemphill described the double alienation of being both an African American and a homosexual male in America. In his short poem XXIV, from his 1986 publication of his works, the aggressive but true manner in which he presents this taboo subject is no different. When first reading this poem I wasn’t quite sure what he was talking about. I could tell that if was homosexual in nature just from reading the background of the writer and the first and last couple lines in the poem. “In America I place my ring on your cock where it belongs.” And “In America place your ring on my cock where it belongs.” In my opinion this is kind of like a reference to a wedding ceremony where the wedding bands are exchanged.
We need to step away from the forces that not only make us ashamed of our mestizo skin, but also of our language and sexuality. Sexuality in Chicanas has been historically neglected, with the majority of focus going towards male’s sexual desire. Anzaldua explains the way that our language “is a male discourse.” (Anzaldua, pp. 76) Our Spanish language has been utilized to enforce male dominance denying females even the smallest ability to expert their female being. We need to create a new identity where we openly explore the pleasures of our sexuality, our pride in our brown skin and the creation of a language that does not only focus on the male
Sibyl is the wife of one of the Brotherhood members. At first, the narrator tries to use Sybil in order to find out about the actual goals of the brotherhood. However, when he tries to do this, he only succeeds in getting Sybil and himself drunk. It is revealed to the reader that Sybil doesn't actually have any interest in the brotherhood, and just like the woman before her, wants the narrator to fulfill her sexual fantasies with a black man. Just like the woman in chapter 19, Sybil views the narrator as an object or tool, and she tries to use him to fulfill her sexual desires.
With no ability to advance in society, he wondered if settling for a job like a janitor is really worth it. He began to read books on the history of Africa or on any topic he could find while he was incarcerated. Numerous of his thoughts of how whites are able to oppress blacks came from those books. He believed that the blacks were being taught inadequately, and whites were able to ignore history and teach blacks that whites have always been superior. Due to the level of education that the blacks were receiving, whites have been able to teach inaccurate information without the blacks knowing otherwise.

Journal Responses #4 In his essay, ‘What Is A Homosexual,’ Andrew Sullivan accomplishes an in depth insight to the meaning and effects of homosexuality on an individual’s lifestyle by providing an analysis of his own past experiences as well as observations of the behaviors of other homosexuals. As humans, we are prone to making assumptions about those who are different than us, and in order to avoid rejection or alienation, many are forced to hide who they are in favor of risking the acceptance of their peers--as Sullivan describes, “there is something masculine and respected in the discipline of the arts and especially in the sciences. You can gain respect and still be different.” (156) Unfortunately, by covering the truth to dodge the disapproval of others, Sullivan notes that the results only end up causing self-loathing. What I appreciated about this essay was Sullivan’s delivery of an equally personal as well as
He becomes obsessed with sex and acquiring it. It worsens as he becomes more famous until finally as portrayed in the movie he learns how to accept his responsibilities as a man and becomes a good father. Continuing with this sexuality that black men are portrayed as having, we find the rapper 50 cent in his movie talking to his gang. Fifty was asked what he wanted to do in life. He answered, “I want to get money and get bitches.” Again this line furthers the stereotype that black males have this obsession with having sex with as many women as possible never being satisfied, and never respecting any
