I think what most people feel:

I hope to have a healthy, happy, straight male or female child so I cam raise them like I was raised.

There is nothing wrong with that sentiment. I myself would not choose to have an LGBTQ child not because I would love them any less, but I imagine having a kid and needing to navigate being black and being the best parent possible. Its already hard. Then if you have a gay child there are extra internal and external pressures they deal with that I cant relate to. Then if they are trans, especially if MTF, I have to worry about the extra scrutiny and worrying if my child would be alright, dealing with their gender dysphoria, etc…its even more complex.

With all that said, the sentiment makes some people jump all the way out of the window about an issue that hasnt personally effected them. I may have a child the professes to be trans, take them to therapy and deny them as much as I want, then one day see a news report that my child jumped off a bridge because they needed support and not denial. Its way too easy for people not dealing with these issues to talk all this shyt. All that said, dont say shyt you cant stand on.

*celebrities apologize

Making this about him bending the knee because he is Black is perpetuating an ideal of weakness.

He's an entertainer. His livelihood depends on a mixture of how good he is at what he does and how people feel about him.

If you're untalented but people like you, you can make money still. If you're talented and people aren't willing to spend money on you or your work, then you may not be as successful.

What he didn't have to do is give his opinion on it.

Now that he's done that he will be subjected to scrutiny and given the current social climate, he will now suffer for it.

If that was the case why did he allow his publicist to release that p*ssy ass statement on his behalf if he’s just gonna disregard it and double down on his initial opinion?
