I've been reading up on it. Most of what I've seen is that it's a term used being ancient Egyptians used for peace, but feminism has turned it into a term almost meaning "fake ass woke brother."

Most feminists use this logic to label dudes as Hotep if they say they are for black empowerment, but don't give a ? about sexism or LGBT rights. And apparently, amongst other things Hoteps are blamed for, they've been blamed for Hillary losing the election because while Black women turned out in droves for her, black men didn't vote for her in the same capacity.

Anyone care to share your thoughts on this?

    The belief that black women have it worse than black men (and everyone else) because they have to deal with the problems that come with being black and the problems that come with being women. It's not an out of line concept as long as you ignore all the places where being women have benefitted black women (e.g. their treatment by the justice system and affirmative action benefits where applicable).

    Yeah, the name sounds pretentious because it's some made up ? . That said I believe there is merit to the concept, but I also thing feminists tend to exaggerate its significance.

    Basically Hotep ? are a bunch of incense burning, ankh wearing broke ? that sell books, scented oils and sometimes Shea Butter on 125th street in harlem.

    I gotta go back to 125th street. That street preaching was where Marcus Garvey got his rise.
