Chester French has a thing for black girls

So check this out...

When I first watched this video I was kinda flattered because it is nice to be celebrated as desirable. But then I watched it again...you know, because it's hot. And I saw some issues with the video. First let's talk about the positive stuff:
The black woman is strikingly beautiful. She isn't cookie cutter with long extensions and super light skin. I guess that's refreshing.

Now the issues:
The video is highly sexual, effectively holding up the stereotype of black women being insatiable sex-pots. Also, why didn't the band Chester French actually appear in the video? They're singing the music, but you don't actually see them say the words "I got a thing for black girls."

The song and its video are fun and provocative, but hardly progressive.

I guess I should be happy they didn't have the black girl oiled up and bouncing her butt in the camera. Thank the sweet baby jesus for small favors.

Don't Mind the Man Behind the Curtain

Happy New Year! Just kidding. I love you people, but all bullshitting aside...I have a serious topic to discuss today.

A few years ago, there were some scary reports coming out of the CDC and repeated in the media about black women being the fastest growing segment of the country to contract the HIV virus. The press reported this story over and over until we all believed it. This little PR blitz had long and deeply impactful effects that will last for years to come.

The sex lives of black women are now framed as a source of destruction for the black family. I have actually seen HIV awareness billboards with images of a black women.

Also, the apparent growth of AIDS in the black community has sent the national average up, prompting more funding for the CDC from the Federal government.

This is old news. The reason I bring it up now is because there's a lot of unknown information about HIV and AIDS reported by doctors and world-renowned scientists that seems to be ruining their careers.  The media have by and large ignored that information. Here's just the tip of the iceberg...

#1:

The CDC broadens the categories of illnesses that fall under the AIDS umbrella.

The result is always an increase in the HIV/AIDS diagnosis rate. This has happened many times over the years and the last time it happened was just a few years ago when they included women diagnosed with Cervical Cancer. The stats went up and it looked like the biggest increases in HIV/AIDS were in heterosexual women. That part was all over the news. (side note: the HPV virus that causes cervical cancer is slow to clear in black women. The longer it lingers, the higher the chance the woman will develop cervical cancer. See a connection?) Where the fuck were all these supposed "investigative journalists"? Why did no one ask "Gee. How did they get that number? What led to such a large increase in the space of just a few years?".  I guess that wasn't sexy enough for their precious ratings. They'd rather produce shows like this one...

#2:

There is no test for HIV.

There are several tests that determine your level of antibodies and T-cells, but antibodies are created when your body has successfully fought off an illness. If a person in Africa has Malaria and they are given a "HIV" antibody test, doctors tell them that they have HIV and will develop AIDS. This kind of diagnostic system artificially inflates the number of HIV and AIDS cases in many parts of the developing world. Of course, this leads to more money coming in from international health organizations and celebrity driven AIDS awareness campaigns. The bizarre results? People who need nutrition, clean water, decent sanitation and shelter receive pills and condoms from the pharma industrial complex.

In Africa, there are several acceptable ways to diagnose HIV and one of them doesn't even require the antibody test. A doctor can just look for weakness, weight loss, nausea and diarrhea and that person is TOLD that they have HIV or AIDS. They could have cholera or malaria, but those diseases are not treated. 

And here's a fun fact...many people have sued because they got a false positive HIV test. They decided to get second and third opinions and the results showed that they never had HIV. Anybody who gets a HIV diagnosis should be tested several times. There is NO definitive test.

#3:

HIV meds are highly toxic and can kill.

Remember the AIDS quilt on the Washington Mall? Remember the quilt? A whole generation of AIDS patients gone. To so many people this is proof that this disease is incredibly destructive. But what if I told you that what may have actually been the culprit was AZT?

The first AIDS drugs were given to men who had Kaposi's Sarcoma-lesions on their skin. (It was later discovered that the lesions were caused by excessive use of a recreational drug called Poppers.) The AZT ravaged their bodies, made them lose an enormous amount of weight (or get buffalo hump), some lost their sight, had horrible pain, and many more terrible symptoms. In other words, they looked like they had full-blown AIDS. The AZT poisoned them. 

It's funny that some people have a hard time believing this when they know people who have had cancer and were given cancer treatment "medication".  They become very thin, vomit, and lose their hair. Can cancer medications be sustained for the length of a cancer patient's life? Of course not. Can you imagine what that would do to the human body? They would be dead in less than a year. 

AZT and other cancer medications are "black box" medications. That means that they are toxic and cannot be sustained by the human body over a long period of time.

HIV and AIDS meds are more tolerable now (the cocktail) but they are still considered toxic and cannot be sustained over a lifetime.

Another thing to think about...

Isn't it funny that most viruses move very quickly, have a discernible viral load and have very specific symptoms, but HIV (considered a virus) takes up to 10 years to manifest symptoms? i.e. AIDS?

Why is it so slow-moving? Even a comparatively weak virus like the cold virus affects the body in the space of about a week. You recognize the symptoms.

My point in writing all this down? I think health care, not just in this country but around the world, is no longer about providing health. I think it's about money and power. I think the poorer countries on the planet have higher stats for this disease because it has become an unexpected revenue stream that they desperately need. I do believe that AIDS exists and I believe that it has been around for a very long time. Way before the first American diagnosis in the 80's. Acquired Immune Deficiency has been around probably as long as there have been people. We should probably ask more questions about how it is acquired. If you think fluid exchange is the only way, think again.
