I judged TD Jakes for the drama and tears today but then i thought about it...
as you know,
or didn’t,
but he became my online pastor even though i left years ago.
i watched service today because i was already planning on doing that.
Sidebar: F-BI,
find a lead on this piece of licorice who hosted today:…
anyway,
i felt like his christmas eve sermon was lightweight addressing the rumors.
addressing them without addressing them...
see a piece of the sermon:
the whole thing was dramatic sus af to me.
he cried and his whole family came up on stage as a united front.
even though i was heavily side eyeing him,
as i do on default,
i had to realize something:
He is from a totally different generation than me.
as a millennial,
my generation and younger would have said whatever to what was being said.
there would have been no dramatics or tears.
it would have been business as usual.
it all depends on if we cared to do so.
td jakes is what?
gen x?
boomer?
back in his day,
being accused of gay shit effected those folks HEAVY.
they had to do gay shit in secret especially in the church.
so i understand the dramatics even if it looked like highkey guilt.
you know the “caught up in some gay shit” playbook with church folks:
- highlight your wife/girl/straightness
- shed some tears
- say its the enemy trying to destroy you/its all lies
- shed even mo tears
- have another kid to prove you are straight cause nothing says “i’m straight” like another kid
he can say whatever he wants but one thing about church folks:
They gon’ still gossip about what they dun “heard” in the church pipeline
you want good gossip?
the church hens or the gay choir director.
i bet they had the tea flowing at the buffet today.
lowkey: td said today he is 66 and not 36.
he said he is too old to be a power bottom even tho he was flattered.
correct me if i’m wrong.
kudos on not bottom shaming in 2023!
TD Jake’s was minding his business, he’s never preached any anti gay rhetoric and I doubt he would be that foolish to be out in the opening at a Diddy sex party. However when powerful Men have money and participate in activities for years without their tea being exposed they become cocky as if they have no worries. If it was concerned and mentioned in an FBI file regarding Diddy then it’s probably true.
[ Though I think he steeps his teabag]
I do not think he is dumb enough to get down during a “Diddy Party”. He did have to address it cos Black Folks believe in anything!!
They will spread any and everything and love to tear down successful Black Men !! . It’s like crabs in a barrel. They are quick to call you a “satanist , demonic or a part of the Illuminati.
–I would not be shocked if the slave traded started because of a rumor that Black folks believed and spread to fellow Africans that Slave traders were giving away free cattle and gold just get on that ship and collect your bounty.
So who’s the piece of licorice? He’s fine, fine, fine af.
I think TD protests too much. If there was nothing to the rumors then he wouldn’t need to make a big production out of it. He’s deflecting from the fact that he’s on the downlow. Sad he can’t just be open & say yea he’s bisexual but then again that would take too much explanation since society is even less accepting of bisexuality, especially when in a ‘straight’ marriage.
