However, many people seemed to have forgotten the heinous sex offenses that certain white teachers committed against their underage students over the past few years. A link has been provided here to show that an overwhelming number  of white female teachers walked away unscathed by the judicial system after being sexually involved with their students.

The article even refers to the sex offenders as “hot” & “sexy”, as if to suggest that the overall well-being of these young students could be downplayed because of how the white female teachers were perceived physically. Since many in the dominant society and a few individuals in Black society are calling for the heads of these Black teachers, where is the outrage to know that children have been sexually violated by “sexy” white female teachers? Isn’t that considered to be a double standard?

Perhaps there would be more outrage if their pets were being violated instead.

This story was originally featured on financialjuneteenth.com, and it has been the cause of much conversation for the past couple of weeks. According to Pedulla, both he and his research team noticed that gay Black men had a better chance of commanding the same starting pay as straight white man. Straight Black men and gay white males often received lesser salaries.

The conclusion of Pedulla’s research shows that people outside of the dominant society felt less threatened by the presence of a gay Black man. This is yet another tool used to divide the African Diaspora, and it’s a demoralizing method being used to deny certain Black men the opportunity to earn a living for their families.
