AfroTantra Reviews "Butt Naked, Raw and Uncensored"

by Dakini Tina

AfroTantra is revolutionizing the Afrakan community through the healing art of Sacred Black Love. Our goal is to reach each and every Afrakan, one bedroom at a time.

We had such a powerful response to Sadiki Bakari's 'Butt Naked, Raw and Uncensored' that we don't even know where to begin. His book is not only revolutionary, but provocative, insightful, telling and inviting all at once. His political bent is refreshing and informative, and he has woven together his ideas in an understandable, unique and exciting format.

As sacred lovers, we at AfroTantra couldn't help but take great interest in the parts of his book that dealt with love and relationship. Who said that the revolution couldn't be sexy too? Bakari has brought a fresh and empowered perspective to Sacred Black Love by highlighting chakra consciousness and tender love while respecting the Black woman's inner goddess. The reintroduction of the Black man as her protector was equally brilliant and timely. His poetic viewpoint is a refreshing alternative to hip-hop's denigrating view of women and relationship.

AfroTantra gives Bakari's 'Butt Naked, Raw and Uncensored' most enthusiastic kudos and encourages the community to go out and purchase this wonderful book, if not for increased political and economic awareness, then for its unafraid look at respectful and connected love between the Black man and woman.
