While his congregation responded enthusiastically at the time, Bryant has come under fire from others outside of his church for referring to women as \u201choes,\u201d once the Tom Joyner Morning Show got ahold of the clip. Bryant took to Twitter to defend himself, arguing that the original YouTube clip posted by a church attendee was only 40 seconds long, and therefore out of context:<\/span><\/div>\nWell, now I\u2019ve watched the whole 29-minute clip he provided and now I\u2019m \u201cmad whole.\u201d<\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\nFirst, the \u201ccontext,\u201d that Bryant refers to in his tweets is possibly worse than quoting the lyric. In \u201ccontext,\u201d Bryant\u2019s meandering sermon makes reference to the plight of Black women and the church, in general, in such disturbing ways that make \u201cThese hoes aint loyal!\u201d an almost obvious climax.<\/span><\/div>\nHe starts the sermon by trying to prove that \u201cthe \u2018enemy\u2019 longs to destroy Black boys and detain Black girls,\u201d by referencing Boko Haram\u2019s killing of Black school boys early this year and kidnapping more than 300 girls two months ago.<\/span><\/div>\nLet Bryant tell it, \u201cThe enemy, in his attempt at diabolical chivalry, won\u2019t outright destroy women, as much as he will try to suppress their imagination.\u201d It\u2019s a shame Bryant wasn\u2019t around to explain the rules of \u2018diabolical chivalry\u2019 to the killers of Renisha McBride, Hadiya Pendleton, Kasandra Perkins and the countless Black women who have been brutalized and destroyed by \u2018the enemy\u2019 in this country since slavery.<\/span><\/span><\/span>
<\/span><\/span><\/span>For Bryant, Black women are a secondary target,<\/span>\u00a0the ones \u2018the enemy\u2019 goes after only if he can\u2019t get to his real prize, Black men. He makes reference to this when he speaks about the surging number of Black women in prison, the \u201cfastest-growing prison population,\u201d in the country, \u201cnot for violent charges\u2026but for refusing to testify against their men.\u201d Sounds like Black women are \u201cloyal\u201d to their men, even to their own detriment. This is only one of many contradictions in Bryant\u2019s sermon.<\/span><\/span>
