‘THIRSTY’

A hat tip to The Sauda Voice for this fine video by a Black man who is sick and tired of being sick and tired of the venomous way that Black women are devalued, disrespected and soul-murdered on the streets by men who look like men but in reality are not men.

Perry D’s video takes on the so-called men who stand on street corners, who hold up buildings while holding up their pants with one hand, as they harass the Black women and girls who go about their daily lives. As long as men remain silent in the face of abuse against Black women, they too will be as guilty the perpetrators of street sexual harassment, but, Perry D. speaks out in his spoken word how the devastation of sexualized verbal abuse harms and attacks Black women and girls.

“They don’t make men like they used to.”

Truer words were never spoken.
