The Early Sexual Maturation of Black Girls

by Djehuty Ma'at-Ra

It was reported in "Censored 2000: The Top Year's Top 25 censored Stories," by Peter Phillips and Project Censored, that American girls are reaching puberty faster than ever. White or Caucasian girls were reaching puberty by age ten, but African American or Black girls were reaching puberty by age eight:

"A university of North Carolina cross-sectional study, conducted on girls between ages of 3 and 12 years, found that girls are developing pubertal characteristics at younger ages than suggested by standard pediatric textbooks. The study found that on average, African-American girls begin puberty between 8 and 9 years of age and White girls by 10 years of age..." SOURCE: Environmental Health Monthly, Vol. 11, No.3 (December 1998), by Marcia E. Herman-Giddens, P.A.; Eric J. Slora, Ph.D.; Richard C. Wasserman, M.D., M.P.H.; Carlos J. Bourdony, M.D.; Manju V. Bhapkar, M.S.; Gary G. Koch, Ph.D.; and Cynthia M. Hasermeier, B.S.

"Of the girls studied, 9.6 percent were African-American and the remaining 90.4 percent of girls were White. The study found that by three years of age, 3 percent of the African-American girls and 1.2 percent of the White girls showed signs of breast and/or pubic hair development. By the age of seven, these proportions increased to 27.2 percent of African-Americans girls and 6.7 percent of White girls showing these signs of development. By eight years old, 48.3 percent of African-American girls and 14.7 percent of White girls had begun development. The mean age of onset of breast development for African-American girls was 8.87 years old and for White girls was 9.96 years old. Further, the mean age of the onset of pubic hair was 8.78 years for African-American girls and 10.51 years for White girls. The study found that African-American girls entered puberty approximately 1 to 1.5 years earlier than White girls and were beginning menses approximately 8.5 months earlier. SOURCE: ibid.

Hormones were the biggest causative factor in this acceleration of sexual maturation in young girls in general, so since Black girls accelerated in sexual maturation faster than White girls, does this imply that Black girls eat more hormonal-injected so-called foods (meat and dairy products) than White girls? I would have to say so and no statistics are needed. Experience is the only statistic needed (though statistics would back up my claim). Most inner city Blacks can relate with each other regardless of what city they may be from or come from. As rapper Ice Cube said in one his latest songs: "Every hood is the same!"

In the hood (Black community, inner city) you will find more fast food restaurants and liquor stores than in any other community in the U.S. and I offer no statistics to prove this or back up this claim. Actually, all one has to do (if they have the courage and desire) is get in their car and drive or travel down to the nearest Black community and look and count the number of fast food restaurants for themselves.

In addition to seeing a myriad of fast-food restaurants and liquor stores, one will see a plethora of pawn shops, motels, gas stations, laundry mats, billboards (advertising things impoverished people do not need, i.e., fast food, cigarettes, alcohol, gangster rap music, etc.). You don't need statistics to prove this. All you need is awareness.

In Los Angeles, all one has to do is drive or travel through South Los Angeles, Watts, Compton, Long Beach, Inglewood, and/or East Los Angeles and then drive or travel through the San Fernando Valley (Glendale, Burbank, North Hollywood, Tarzana, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Granada Hills, Woodland Hills, Van Nuys, etc.), the South Bay (Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, Hermosa Beach, etc.), or West Los Angeles (Beverly Hills, Century City, West Hollywood, etc.) and you will see the difference for yourself. The evidence will be your own senses.

This early sexual maturation of Black girls is surely within the Divine scheme of things when you are able to look at the situation from a higher panoramic view. After all, there are NO accidents in the Universe!

In Black America, the older Black females, generally speaking, are not into having babies due to pursuing personal interests (i.e. corporate jobs and careers, developing their bodies, attending college in pursuit of degrees, etc.) and/or they have difficulty in conceiving as infertility has taken Black America by storm. And to complicate matters, many, if not most Black women are unable to find quality, caliber, and compatible mates within the ranks of Black males/men to form healthy and loving relationships, and ultimately marriages. Again, no statistics are needed to back up this claim. Just talk to at least five Black women that you know and inquire about their present love life and/or relationship and you will find out first hand that Mr. Djehuty Ma'at-Ra is speaking some real stuff here.

Now since birth rates are down or low amongst Black females above the age of 25, we find that the birth rates for younger Black females, ages 12 through 17, is at an all-time high. We have a flip flop effect in existence to plug up the leak (or defect or imbalance).

The older females are either unwilling or unable to have babies and the younger females are very willing and able to have babies, though clearly they are not in the best positions or conditions (mentally, psychologically, spiritually, emotionally, and economically or financially) to have babies.

And who are the ones responsible for getting these young Black girls pregnant? Black males, of course! However, it is not surprising to note that a lot of these young Black girls are being impregnated by older Black males, even their relatives: fathers, step-fathers, grandfathers, uncles, and cousins. Incest holds no weight with many in the Black community as the collective sickness lies deep.

Many of these older Black males outright trick the young Black girl(s) into believing they are their boyfriends. And some are just outright Sugar daddies for financial and emotional purposes.

Very few of these young Black girls are getting pregnant by young black males their same age or younger. Black girls tend to gravitate toward older black males in pursuit of that missing father figure or absentee dad.

You see, money is not the only need these young Black girls have, but emotional bonding to an older Black male, and in most cases, to make up for the lack of emotional bonding with an older Black male role model and authoritative figure in which a little girl can look up to, respect, and depend on, which used to be satisfied by an in-house father some 30-40 years ago.

It's strange and very incidental that hormonal-injected processed so-called foods would pop up on the scene in the hood during a time that (1) older Black females would begin to defer motherhood and pregnancy, (2) Black males would be absent from the scene/home as fathers (and providers, protectors, disciplinarians, guides/counselors, etc.), (3) certain alcoholic beverages (eight ball/40 ounce) came on the shelves of local corner liquor stores and only in the hood, (4) Black males would begin to comprise 70% of the U.S. prison population (though only counting for less than 6% of the total U.S. population), and (5) Black on Black violence, especially amongst young Black males, would begin to accelerate to an all-time high.

Clearly something happened to and within the Black community, family, and home. Again, there are no accidents in the Universe.

Los Angeles, California, figures very prominently in the scheme of things pertaining to this scenario. The situation is not limited to Los Angeles (South Los Angeles or South Central Los Angeles) but is applicable to West and South side Chicago, Liberty City (Miami); Bed-Stuy, Harlem, and Bronx (New York City), Richmond and East Oakland (Bay Area, Northern California); and every other metropolitan area throughout the corporate U.S.

It's no coincidence that the modern-day epidemic of street gangs originated in Los Angeles, South Los Angeles (and Watts and Compton) to be exact (bred straight out of Stanford University in Northern California and Chicago University); and that the U.S. Government (C.I.A.) allowed crack cocaine to be distributed in the hood of Los Angeles.

In the 1980's, many Black males were lost to gangs (warfare) and prison (incarceration). Others succumbed to drugs, alcoholism, and violent crimes (homicide). A few even committed suicide or become social transients - homeless bums on the street. This is very true!

It was not guns and drugs (crack cocaine) alone that played a role in the diabolicalness that came out of South Los Angeles in the early 1980's. The energy of death, a vicious and brutal form of death, had to first exist.

Those Black Vietnam vets who returned from the Vietnam War back to their homes in Los Angeles brought something back with them - the spirit of death! And the U.S. Government was waiting (with a wicked experiment just waiting to be executed).

In Vietnam, Black soldiers saw death - daily! They smelled death, heard death, and tasted death, daily! They became death, and strangely, for survival purposes. However, they brought this energy back with them from the killing fields of Vietnam. Death was even in their sperm.

The violence from the gang-bangers of the early and mid 1980's made the violence of the gang creators, the OG's (Originals), i.e. Stan "Tookie" Williams, Raymond Washington, et al., look like child's play (though taking nothing away from the serious and insidious dirt (crime) put in by the likes of Tookie, Ray Ray, Monster Cody, et al..

The gang-bangers of the 1980's came from the seed of certain Black males who had death in their vibration; males who killed and thought nothing about it; males who killed for survival purposes. Now just look at the gang-bangers who appeared on the scene in the 1980's and who also killed and thought absolutely nothing about it and who killed for survival purposes? Gang-bangers would perform a "drive-by shooting and kill an unknown person and drive off without giving a care as to who they just shot and killed.

Yes, even on city streets in a so-called civilized nation one would have to survive. The streets of the inner city became a war zone! The motto was "kill or be killed!" There would be absolutely no respect for life - even with the females which was displayed in quixotic abortion (infanticide) without a second thought. Innocent life snatched out with no thought about it! Survival purposes from the Black female perspective!

You don't get this kind human behavior on the scene out of the clear blue sky. You must take into consideration the wholistic scheme of things. The 1980's saw drugs (crack cocaine, PCP), certain new weapons (Uzi, street sweeper, sawed off 12 and 16 gauge shotguns, etc.); new alcoholic beverages (40 ounce/8 Ball), new so-called food (junk and fast food), and new chemicals (i.e. synthetic sweeteners, food coloring, additives, and preservatives), introduced on the scene.

Next, you saw new forms of fashion - a jailhouse fashion with folks wearing mostly dark colored baggy clothes, shoes without shoe strings, braids in the hair, tattoos, etc.; females openly styling clothes worn by prostitutes), a new style of music (gangster rap); new dances highly promoting sexual innuendo (i.e. the Freak, the throw that Dick/Pussy); and a new style of vernacular with new words: skeezer, hoochie, be'yatch (bitch with emphasis); skank, dogg, strawberry, buster, trick, heezy, heat, dope, fresh, wack, "187," "wild thang," etc.

Criminals (especially jail birds) got more respect than nerd-like dudes (who weren't really nerds but just very smart and excelled in school), college graduates, and folks who worked honest and decent jobs. The above was especially true with the females (and still is to a degree) who were seeking power in a male. Evidently, gang-bangers and other criminals had the juice an inner city young (and sometimes older) Black female was looking for. As sick as it may sound, it was outright true! I know because I was there. I grew up in South Central Los Angeles in late 1970's and early 1980's and witnessed the transformation of the Black community and Black people.

Now around this time (early 1980's), I noticed young Black girls beginning to get physically thick, especially in their female-specific anatomical regions, packing trunks in the rear end area (buttocks), nice thick hips, sizeable and protruding breasts, and beautiful faces (something most of them already had). This was in elementary school and especially junior high school. The girls who attended Samuel Gompers Junior High School could have passed for students at nearby Alain Leroy Locke High School.

I saw my adolescent cousins and baby sister change right before my eyes. This occurred right after elementary school time (1982-1984). Black females were young teenagers but were developed like, no, BETTER than, older, grown and mature Black women (mothers, aunts, etc.). It was mind-boggling!

A Black male who just got out of jail and into the dope (crack cocaine) game seriously did not care about a Black girls' age when all he saw was a big butt, nice hips and breasts, and a cute face. It was these older cats who began to turn these young Black girls out (sexually). This is why in most cases in the hood you will find that a Black female is more sexually experienced than a Black male of the same age. The Black females start young, younger than the Black males.

Now where did all these super big butts, breasts, and thick hips come from? Truly, genetics have always accounted for Blacks being greatly and nicely developed, especially the females (who are known to pack a big butt); but at such young ages? Clearly UNPRECEDENTED!

Fast food restaurants began to seriously grow in the 1980's. In 1971, according to statistics, there was an estimated 30,000 fast food restaurants in the U.S. By 1979, the number grew to 140,000. We're talking 110,000 restaurants in only an eight-year period.

Soul food worked wonders in developing the Black female, but soul food would not be able to touch fast food with a ten-foot pole. Of course fast food would cheat, as fast food would incorporate animal-derived and chemical-synthetic female hormones into the meat (which carry over into the meat byproducts - eggs and dairy). And we can't forget that the majority of the meat Americans eat is FEMALE! Americans are eating female turkey and chicken, female pigs (swine); female steer (cows), etc. Females are used as the primary source of meat or flesh because females naturally get bigger than males due to estrogen hormone. And then you wonder why American females, especially Black females, are looked upon as a piece of meat.

It was this excess of hormones, which just happened to be the unhealthy form of estrogen, "estrone" or "estradiol," that would cause American girls and older women to have an excess of estrogen in their bodies which would cause a serious bulking up and physical development of female sexual anatomical features, in addition to a plethora of female reproductive area complaints as the adverse side effect; complaints which include uterine and ovarian fibroid tumors, endometriosis, menstrual irregularities, vaginal discharges, breasts cysts, and candida albicans (yeast infection) to name a few.

And because fast food is cheap, it would be purchased more and consumed more by young girls from lower economic classes, particularly Black (African-American) and Hispanic people.

And between Blacks and Hispanics, fast food would be purchased and consumed more by Blacks, clearly the most impoverished people in the U.S. despite their overall and collective purchasing power of some 700+ billion dollars.

Because Blacks eat more fast food than any other people or race in the U.S., clearly they would be the ones suffering the most from eating fast food; I mean, after all, soul food in and of itself is not healthy at all, to say the least, so eating fast food on top of soul food just exacerbated health problems for Black people, health problems that included diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, gout, sarcoidosis, asthma and bronchitis; heart disease, stroke and seizure (epilepsy); sickle cell anemia, tendonitis, and obesity.

Now don't get me wrong, America as a nation is a fast food eating nation (ever read the book "Fast Food Nation?") and eating junk food and fast food is not exclusive to Black people or poor or impoverished people. My point is, due to poverty (mental and economic/financial poverty), Blacks eat more fast food than any other people or race in the U.S. and the atrocious obesity rates of Blacks (African-Americans), especially Black females, bear me witness. The average Black woman is 60 pounds overweight at minimum. There are a lot of obese Black women weighing 250 pounds, 300 pounds, 350 pounds, and more than 400 pounds. Clearly this is not natural and points to a serious emotional and psychological causative factor (imbalance) predicated upon the overall condition of Black females in the U.S. stemming from the effects of social and cultural iatrogenesis (societal/government induced negativity and stress).

Hollywood is not helping the Black female obesity pathology as nowadays the obese Black female is accepted and glorified, thanks to films by and/or starring Martin Lawrence (Big Momma's House), Eddie Murphy (Nutty Porfessor/Klumps, Norbit, etc.), and Tyler Perry (Madea character, Dairy of a Mad Black Woman). Black T.V. shows and Black female comedians also embrace obesity, a la Monique (of the Parkers).

We've always had the Big Momma on the scene in the Black community (originating from the Mammy of the "physical" slavery days), usually the matriarch of the family (like what was seen in the movie "Soul Food"), but today, you will see little Black teenage females the same size if not bigger than Big Momma and they haven't even started high school yet.

Alvenia Fulton, Elijah Muhammad, and Dick Gregory attempted to help health matters with Blacks back in the day (1950's, 1960's, and 1970's), promoting vegan-vegetarian(ism) (Fulton and Gregory) and one meal a day (Muhammad), but the corporate fast food interest was clearly too seductive, determined, powerful, and influential for this trio, at least prior to the New Millennium, and Blacks (like all other people and races in the U.S.) began to sink deeper into the abyss of the corporate fast food behemoth and the results were in the statistics pertaining to diseases that were endemic to African Americans and epidemic amongst them.

Hormone-injected animal flesh is undoubtedly going to affect the consumer, especially the female (who is prone to being affected by estrogen). So today, is it any wonder young American females in general, Black or African American females in particular, are walking around hung like Shetland ponies with rear ends sticking out like a cow, hips the size of pregnant gorilla, and breasts the size of melons?

Fast food consists of meat and dairy products, both of which contain harmful synthetic hormones - hormones which latch on to female estrogen receptor sites in the womb and proliferate and ultimately manifest as tumors, benign and malignant (cancerous).

Fast food consists of hot dogs, corn dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, pastrami, club sandwiches, burritos, tacos, pizza, French fries, onion rings, chicken nuggets, fried chicken, fish, bacon, nachos, chilli cheese fries, and a few other items and this is what the American youth in general are eating daily, especially youth form lower economic classes.

You cannot have fast food without meat and dairy, basically ANIMAL PRODUCTS! I have noticed how the eating of meat makes people, especially males, very violent and brutal; and makes the females bulk up.

It is very safe to say that Americans have become very animalistic (lower beast-like) in their tendencies and behaviors - females now being "be'yatches" (bitches), "chicks," "pieces of meat," and the males being "dogs," "studs," etc. People bark like dogs as a show or sign or approval (remember the Arsenio Hall Show? "Woof, woof, woof!" with the arms gesturing in the air?)

Dairy products come from female animal excreta, which come from the reproductive gland of female animals. When that which comes from the reproductive glands of a female animal gets into the body of a female human being, it will undoubtedly affect the reproductive gland of the human female and this is what you are seeing today with American females and their female reproductive complaints. American females are diseased in their breasts, uterus, ovaries, vagina, fallopian tubes, etc. The female womb is wounded today! It is the "wounded womb" as Dr. Phil Valentine of the University of Kemetaphysics (www.kemetaphysics.org) appropriately calls it.

Females gain weight in their five bodily fatty reserve sites - breasts, buttocks, belly, thighs, and upper back arms.

It's just not the hormones making females big (obese)! We can't forget about all the "fat" fast food contains. Again, you are what you eat. When you eat "aninal-fat" you become "fat." Meat and dairy products contain serious amounts of animal fat which when inside the human body will cause serious health problems and ramifications.

So the animal fat and synthetic chemical hormones are major causative factors in the early sexual maturation of American girls in general, Black (African American) girls in particular.

One male friend of mine told me he noticed his daughter being musty at age two. Musty (musky) simply deals with the release of pheromones mixed with toxins which accounts for the off smell. And I can honestly say that there are a lot of little Black girls who need to use deodorant by age five. They have that mature female bodily scent (that smells somewhat like must (musk)). Even when the diet is good (vegan), this may occur due to genetics predicated upon the effects of the fast food the mother ate before becoming vegan.

Clearly these synthetic chemical and animal-derived hormones affect human female genetics (and male genetics too, but more so the females as we are specifically dealing with the female hormone "estrogen").

And those older Black females who may be mothers but who can't or are unable or unwilling to perform the most basic function of a mother (cooking) due to being tired from working a corporate job are relying on the fast food industry to feed their child(ren) as well as themselves, which is why mother and child are seriously obese and sick today (and daddy too if he's on the scene).

I did not mean to stigmatize or stereotype Black people and Black females in particular in this article nor was that my goal or intention if it came off as such. Most of what I conveyed supra was from firsthand experience. Remember, I conduct health consultations and have been doing so for approximately seven years now. Most of my clientele is Black (African American) and 90% female (Black women). I also travel to major cities and when I do I always visit the Black community. That's why I can say Ice Cube told the truth in a rap song when he ended the song saying: "Every hood's the same!" He's right and exact here! No matter what city you go to - Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Houston, Dallas, Oakland, Baltimore, Miami, Philadelphia, Newark, D.C., Pittsburgh, Kansas City, New Orleans, Atlanta, Birmingham, Cincinnati, Boston, San Francisco, etc., the inner cities are all the same and the people in general are all the same.

I always write/type from a perspective of honesty. I write from the heart based upon my experiences (first and foremost) and then secondarily I rely on what I read, hear, and see (statistics, research, evidence, etc.).

The only practical and viable solution I see to curb and rectify this early sexual maturation problem with young Black girls is to promote consciousness. Consciousness is the key! It is the only salvation! You can only save yourself and to do that you must become CONSCIOUS (AWARE)!

No man can save you! No particular teaching or teachings alone can save you! No organization can save you! No religion can save you! No religious leader can save you! No religious book can save you! No institution can save you! Money cannot save you! Education cannot save you! Success in the world cannot save you! Jesus cannot save you! Allah cannot save you! Yahweh or Jehovah cannot save you! Muhammad cannot save you! Buddha cannot save you! Moses cannot save you! The U.S. government cannot save you! Politics cannot save you! Only YOU can save yourself!

When folks become conscious, they will also become health conscious. Conscious individuals do not (or rarely) eat animal flesh or byproducts. Most conscious people are vegetarian, vegan, raw foodist, fruitarian or frugavorist; and a few are breathatarian.

Conscious people are conscious of what they put into their mouths. They don't just eat whatever the fast food and junk food industries (cartels) place before them. They are very fastidious about what they consume (on all levels).

As long as young American girls in general, Black girls in particular, are fed animal-derived and synthetic, chemical growth hormones via meat and dairy products, their early or advanced sexual maturation will always be on the scene and will play a role in male constant sexual infatuation, child molestation, rape, teenage pregnancy, sexual abuse and disrespect, and other daily horrors that our young American girls experience, usually at the hands of some male, and usually by some male that they know or may even trust.

While I didn't cover young American boys in this article, one has to recognize that boys too are just as much involved in the adverse effects of eating fast and junk foods as are girls; however, because girls naturally develop in a faster and more noticeable fashion than boys, and in areas that constitute their sexual embellishments and the perception of sex is very warped, convoluted, and diseased; and girls/females make up the majority of victims of sex crimes in this nation, I thought it vital and imperative to concentrate my energy and efforts towards females in general, young Black (African American) females in particular within this specific article.
