What Are Hoteps? | My Take
"Hoteps" can be classified as many things but these things all parallel or align with each other. Most notably they're known as Black Nationalists or Black Conservatives; which means their beliefs are rooted in the general prejudices of society, but the most significant factor is that this is applied to the Black community and overblown with conspiracy theories. The reason hoteps utilize conspiracy theories in debates or in their content or speeches is because it's a baiting measure to reel in Blacks who basically don't know any better and who are feeble-minded or gullible. Their target demographic is Black people in the Black community who've been desperate for leadership due to wanting to combat oppression; seemingly the people they hook are old heads or old folks in general initially, because older folks or people with old-head belief systems align with the general prejudices -- homophobia, transphobia, misogyny/misogynoir and etc.
Hoteps claim to be pro-Black but are very limited in their pro-Blackness due to the fact that they typically only support Blacks who aren't the following -- black women who are either independent (or on their way to independence), black women who combat patriarchy, black men who are gay or have gay tendencies or align themselves with things to be socially-perceived as gay, black women who are gay or have gay tendencies or align themselves with things to be socially-perceived as gay, black folks who interracially date or have previously interracially dated or pro-created interracially and etc.
Being pro-black is supposed to include an inclination (or a wanting) to see and establish Black liberation for Blacks who are gay, women, trans, heterosexual and etcetra. But, with hoteps, the main people they're for are men who uphold patriarchy (or the oppression of women and the limitation of women's freedom in western society).
