What is “advocating for straight black men” tho? Opposing systematic white supremacy is something that benefits us all as black people regardless of gender and sexuality. Speaking out against things like state sanctioned police terrorism based on race isn’t about doing straight black men a favor. I don’t like how our rights are divided up into these little sub-group causes. The only cause we should be focused on is black empowerment.
“Gay rights” is nothing but a deflection because gays have never been deprived of rights on a systematic basis. It’s the same as feminism. It’s all bullshyt. Race has always trumped everything else in this society. White women and white gays have always had more rights and enjoyed more systematic privilege over all blacks whether gay-straight or man-woman.
Those countries in the Caribbean and in Africa are still ultimately controlled by the global system of white supremacy tho. They still aren’t operating without the influence of whites.
While I don’t condone the systematic discrimination of gays, I’m completely opposed to the agenda to normalize and promote it. If we’re black empowerment then we had to be honest what that means. All functional healthy communities start with the building of functional and healthy families which is man+woman+child(ren). The normalization and promotion of homosexuality obviously conflicts with the promotion of rebuilding the family structure. This is something that we’ve got to deal with because there’s no way around it. I’m not one that thinks that straight blacks can’t unite and build with gay blacks, but gay blacks are going to have to get in where they fit in. They’re going to have to realize that they’re personal lifestyle isn’t conducive to empowering a community trying to overcome a relentless all encompassing system of oppression. Black gays who want to support the rebuilding of the traditional black family structure so that we began truly rebuild and empower the entire community are cool, but the black gays who want to make the advocacy for the normalization of their alternative lifestyle choice a priority need to rooted out and kicked to the curb.
Same way you could just not read the comments.
While White evangelical Christians may hold power in those countries, your basically saying those people are mindless. They chose to hunt, abuse, stone and kill gays. They are not powerless.
This is my problem when black people talk about white supremacy. Black people choose to abide by it, most Americans don’t have any real power. Certein percentage of our people are mentally weak. I will not fight for their lack of ambition. Systematic racism is real but just seen your logic give black people the excuse not to do shyt And wait for someone else carry there lazy asses.
What is your version of the family structure?
Please don’t try to romanticize the early 1900 to 1960
Cause what I recall my grandmother and great grandpa telling me. A lot of wives where getting their ass beat, no education,outside babies, etc......you don’t have causes like women rights for nothing.
Get in where they fit in....That will never work. I and others refuse to be the
Bayard Rustin of the party. ( he did GREAT work) but won’t be behind the scene to make A demographic of my people I don’t respect comfortable. I not
beneath any man, especially not cause of sexuality.
I wonder what your solution is. You talk about building but sooo many of our brothers/ sisters are broken. They find Comfort in ignorance & dysfunction.
They will not be my downfall.
My parents lifted me & my siblings from Inglewood(bad side) to a great lifestyle one I making sure to bring preserve. My circle is great likeminded black brothers & sisters. Gay, straight, whatever. I fight for them. I’ll fight for my community.
I’m not sticking my neck out for people who will fail & give up cause things got to hard. A lot of black people are like that. No discipline, mediocre Drive, fukked up families.
Sooo many of our know better but won’t do shyt. Just complacent white institutions may have done this to us but they don’t we need tohold a string anymore.
