Where does the myth of the "homophobic Black community" come from?

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

I guess the shyt that is constantly talked about concerning Atlanta doesn’t exist.

I know I’ve said some homophobic shyt in the past, saw people growing up and keeping that shyt quiet because it’s an ass whipping waiting to happen or they will kick you out the house

Homophobia is part of why it’s so many dl dudes

All I’m saying is be true to yourself and stop measuring ourselves in relation to white communities; their morals are pisspoor

It's not a myth but I think it exist in every community for the most part.

Upon popular belief, majority of black people don't cosign with that gay lifestyle shyt it's just that some in our community put up (bullshyt along) with it because they don't wanna hurt the person but deep down most of us don't really rock with that shyt.

I know on the internet, twitter feeds etc got y'all thinking over 80% of the black community riding with gay people but in reality it's not even that close.

Straight Black men do tend to be more vocal in our disgust for homosexuality, but it's not because we're more homophobic then other men.

Black men are just the only men that constantly get homosexuality thrown in our faces, due to lack of respect.

Black women love to try and force us to accept it, all women like gay men, but women of other races know not to bring that gay shyt around straight masculine men.

These. shyt exists in every community. From my experience it's the acceptance shyt that's put a target on the Black community. We'd be vocal about not fukking with that life & co-signing it but we weren't attacking nobody. Do your thing but straight dudes wasn't taking you nowhere if you was flamboyant.

It's the same today except they stay trying to flush the gay shyt down our throats & if you don't accept it you hate gays.

most black people are adamantly opposed to gay marriage and gay unions in general, because of our cultural relationship to the church/christianity.

however, black americans have NEVER. EVER. THROUGHOUT HISTORY, been pro gay murder, or pro gay extermination.

I can't remember the last black function I attended and didn't see a flamboyant gay black man or a lesbian stud, and nobody fukked w/em nor did they care.

we're actually the most tolerant community when it comes to LGBT historically, I mean look at Disco in the 70's

 

[Will Ross]

He the typical racist white boy spiting stereotypes about us. True is black gays are some of the biggest bullies in the community.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Has nothing to do with religion..

Plenty black folks who don't believe in God at all who downright hates gay people.

 

[AnotherRoute]

Most cultures in the world don’t accept homosexuality. But the echo chamber of black twitter would let you be believe that is a black culture thing.

 

[FeverPitch2]

There’s a big place. Called Africa. Where black people live and make laws and have killed many homosexuals

The Black community. Not the African community. There's a big difference. This isn't even unique to Africa, You'll probably see a lot of this in the Eastern world.

Ask the mods to put up a gay pride flag next to the coli logo for a week and see where the myth comes from

We had a big ass thread of coli nikkas mad with Barclay center doing just that

You have to back up the shyt you talk.
Wipe your tears and fix your face.

Nah nikka..

You back up the shyt you talk and hand me that neg you promised..

 

[thekingsmen]

The myth came from outsiders..

 

[FeverPitch2]

Nah nikka..

You back up the shyt you talk and hand me that neg you promised..

No problem. You just got a delivery.
I thought you were done replying to me, fam.
What else are your bruised emotions going to make you say that has jack shyt to do with this topic?

 

[Drip Bayless]

Man y’all ain’t gotta fake the funk everytime white people say something you don’t like
If nikkas found out you hung with or was cool with gay dudes when you was younger it was quiet for you
shyt I’m 22 and I’m not hanging round no homo out of my own volition
African Americans not beating gays like Arabs and a lot of Africans do
But gay people is ostracized in AA communities that’s just the facts

This whole idea of it being about “love” is bullshyt. Do people say all straight people love each other? No. That “Love is Love” mantra can be very confusing to children.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Gay dudes in the hood have it harder than gay dudes in white communities.

Blacks tend to be more conservative

Everyone who stands out had it harder in the hood because adults are watching out for kids less

If Black ppl were the nikkas pushing homophobia and white ppl mostly had no problem with it...homophobia wouldn't be an issue

Because when has America listened to us?
