How exactly is "The Black Community" so "homophobic"?

[King Jove]

Our society is very homophobic, our society is made up of White, Black, Asian, Latino etc. communities. You can find homophobia in every community, it is not exclusive to the Black community.

It's really boggling my mind that "Black" posters are changing OP's original question to continue pushing a false narrative about the Black community.

people like to act stupid for the sake of acting stupid.

nobody is saying black people are not homophobic.

are black people homophobic? yes

are black people THE MOST homophobic far more than every other race? no.

that's all people are saying.

Female genital mutilation. Very disturbing cultural practice.

Anytime I here that I'm like

"Your culture Murders babies in the womb breh..."

"...and you got the nerve to get high and mighty about that?"


Every culture justifies their version of bullshiit(which is understandable) ...but only white/western culture tries to push their version of bullshyt on other people





The west can take this Yankees cap...

In reality outside of white fantasy that likes to show our ratchet and negative people of our group 24/7 media black folks are conservative as hell.

Why does thecoli perpetually cry about black people being made the face of homophobia (something that isn't remotely occurring) everytime homophobia among black people is addressed?

It all started with proposition 8 in California. Black people helped vote to enact this measure that banned gay marriage. This enraged homos across the country.

I remember those times. What those that were upset forgot to mention was that a lot of people of all races voted against it. Plus, Blacks are only 7% of the population in California. They should've been going in on the asians, hispanics, and whites who voted against it.

If that didn't show black people that self-proclaimed "progressive" white liberals/gays are NOT our allies, nothing will.

Indeed. It's very easy to use black people as scapegoats, rather than admitting the real issue: America as a whole is a lot more homophobic that many out there think. Including in "liberal" areas too. No one race owns the title on homophobia, and black people definitely do not own a monopoly on this, at all.

I said it before. White Gays have access to White Privilegde and Capital thus they build their own infrastructure so they do not have to deal with "homophobes" in the White community in large #s and they have power of their own so people think twice about coming at them.

Black gays are poor because they are black, thus they do not have the ability to build their own infrastructure and end up having to deal with people who do not agree with them on a constant basis. Black Gays have to beg Racist White gays to accept them on top of beg for acceptance from Blacks on a whole to be able to move around and live. White Gays dont have to beg anyone to do anything. They even have the power to Lobby the government and politicians and go to war with "homophobe" white politicians.

Tim Cook is the CEO of Apple, the worlds most Admired company and is openly Gay. What do Black Gay people have? Some Reality TV stars and a few athletes?

White jesus. Hyper masculinity. A misunderstanding of African culture. It's sad really.

Blacks overwhelmingly voted for it. 70% voted for it. Only 53% of Latinos voted for it

Let's be reality, are Blacks outwardly hostile towards gays, no? But we shun them, we shut them out, we talk behind their backs, we make fun of them, we bludgeon them with Bible verses or just flat out ignore them.

Every single group does that. I'm mixed so white people sometimes let their guard down around me and they say the same homophobic shyt black people do, at least here in Europe. Also, one must always see the difference between talking about/making fun of certain people, and what the people talking actually hold as political position towards an issue. Personnaly, I also used to (not so much now) do jokes about "fags" (in french "pd"), doesn't mean I'm not fully for gay rights. Same way you can have the contrary, someone who says they cool with Black people but end up voting for extreme-right parties.

 

[DonRe]

It's the along the same line when someone calls a minority racist. To be against gays or homophobic is to say those people have power to influence and deter the rights of others.

Which is evidently not the case. We don't have the ability to be the oppressor

 

[Birnin Zana]

Blacks overwhelmingly voted for it. 70% voted for it. Only 53% of Latinos voted for it

Why stop at just latinos? According to the exit poll data that you're using:

49% of whites voted for it, despite California being a liberal stronghold.

49% of asians voted for it as well.

Those considered as "other" voted for it too, at 51%.

(Analysis of California Proposition 8 Exit Poll Data)

Then you have consider the demographics of California itself (2010 census):

57.6% white. 37.6% latino. 13% asian. 6.2% black. 1% native. 4.9% two or more races.

Blacks are outnumbers by practically almost every group in Cali except for two, and by a notable margin.

Would more black support result in prop 8 failing? No guarantees:

Proposition 8[1]
Choice Votes %
Yes = 7,001,084 52.24%
No = 6,401,482 47.76%

Prop 8 passed by over half a million votes. That is a significant margin. Even if the black vote were to split on this issue, there are no guarantees that Prop 8 would've failed, being that the black population is so low and you'd still have to take into account the votes of other groups, including the big 3 in the whites, latinos, and asians.

Lastly, that 70% figure was from an exit poll. The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force did additional research on the black vote concerning prop 8 and concluded that actually 58% of black voters actually voted for it, not the 70% figure that was thrown out there at first.

(Black support for Prop. 8 called exaggeration)
==

Thus, the real question those who were upset about prop 8 passing should've been why so many people from the biggest demographics of California voted for it in the first place? More white support and it fails. More latino support and it fails. More asian support and it fails.

Blaming the failure of prop 8 on black folks was (and still is) an easy form of scapegoating to avoid talking about the fact that America, across the board, is much more homophobic than many people want to believe.

We also have to take into account that the assumption has been "black people will sympathize with our position & aspirations because they have delt with oppression in america"

Don't think so fast bruh, your aspirations(short of their intentional/premeditated/orchestrated political & cultural framing) have little to do with our plight .............​

Thecoli pretending it doesn't talk shyt about gays the minute they get the chance or endlessly talk about the "gay agenda" and the "feminization of the black male"

It's pure comedy. This is literally the only site I frequent in which the mods accept and allow homophobia.
