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

[Playaz Eyez]

I feel like this is something that rarely happens, but when it does, a massive spotlight is put on it, making it seem like it happens a ton.

Similar to “black men are marrying outside of their race at an alarming rate” when actually BM/BW marriages are at an 85% rate.

There definitely is a lot of homophobia on this website but a lot of people here are older and there’s also a strong Caribbean/African presence here

Most young AADOS don’t trip off of gays like that

I’d love to know what black community y’all grew up in that was accepting homosexuality with open arms....
Y’all will say the opposite of anything a cac says just so you don’t have to agree with them
The black people in my family and my community overall are homophobic as fukk, by today’s standards at least
People always go to that tired ass gay church example. Open secrets don’t mean it’s not homophobic. In fact the fact non of them dudes can SAY they’re gay or god forbid bring they man to church proves it’s still a stigma. Cause that nikka get a solo or play the drums don’t disprove shyt

ill just say that growing up they were easy targets

[FeverPitch2]

Nice one, "bukkake"

nikkas in here lying their asses off. In America, yes on average black communities are more homophobic than white ones. But in terms of globally, Arabic, Eastern European, Southern Asian and Hispanic countries are just as if not more homophobic than African/Caribbean countries or AA communities.

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

So blacks are more "aggressive" ? Is that your claim?

White parents would disown the children, kick them out of the house, beat them, force them into straight camps, throw acid on them, but blacks are more aggressive?

Consensus is that growing up gay in a black community is easier than growing up gay in a white community.

Same applies to straight men.

So white men have a harder time growing up in white communities

Dr. Tommy J. Curry has provided data that shows that this commonly held belief is most likely untrue.

Yep! Black men are even more progressive than black women

You're just spitting out talking points and assertions with no support.
What atrocities were being inflicted on gays 40 years ago systemically by the Black community as a whole?
You jumped around why Black church is a safe haven for Black homosexuals and always has been and will be in the foreseeable future.
What has the Black community as a whole done to homosexuals that is on par with the terrorism the Black community has faced from racist white American society?
And dog, before you start typing, answer the questions I have set before you directly. Because if you start juelzing about some shyt outside of what you and I are discussing right now, I'm gonna neg you.

Neg me right now you fakkit..

I was addressing the nikka who said gays have it worse in the black community, "dog"..

Im not responding to you, nikka..

Just neg me and stfu taking to me..
