Blacks Versus Gays
 Is this what it is coming too? Should we just have a big throw down and who is left standing get to call themselves the most victimize group?

Give me a ****ING break!!! I am a Proud Black woman who has been a member of this site for years. I have bitten my tongue so much over the past month with the threads about Prop 8 and Rick Warren.

Will Blacks be blamed for the Apocalypse when it happens? Will Gays have to continue hiding who they truly are to the ones they love the most till the end of time?

We live in a ****ed up world were we will always be marginalized to some extent. As long as there are ignorant people there will be prejudices. Its not right but its reality.

I have read posts implying that Gays has had it worse then blacks. Are we now keeping score? Well I have one for you. Blacks have to deal with racism and colorism. It is the 21st century and some of us still have to deal with that shit. Once a Black child is born you better believe that there is someone in the family looking at the baby's ears. If you don't know what I'm talking about, ask a black person.

Minority (and Gay) groups need to band together to make this country a better one. Playing this scoring game is not going to bring that older Black woman to be empathic to Gay rights when she is told that the shit she went through in the 50s was NOTHING compared to what gays go through.

Not being able to get pass what happens in ones bedroom doesn't excuse the fact that a Black person is being discriminating toward someone who has been physically abuse because of who he/she loves!

I'm sure I will get bashed for this post (what else is new)but I had to say something. There are numerous posts about how this group doesn't understand what that group has to go through. Well I understand. Now what?

NOW WHAT?


 
 

I got $200 on the blacks, anybody want any of this action? http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8044726

Well, I have to agree with the angry primitive.

There's no doubt, not even the least microscopic scintilla of doubt, that historically blacks have had it much much much worse, than gays.

The problems gays have had, wouldn't amount to an eye-dropper.

I for one am really tired of gays who think a paper-cut on a little finger of theirs merits more interest, more compassion, more concern, than all of the other problems of all of mankind put together, since the beginning.

It's really boring, this gay attitude.

When it comes to having been (please notice the past tense) victimized, I go with the blacks, by a shot so long it goes way out into the universe.

It would seem that rather then escape from what they claim to hate they would rather identify themselves with labels and as parts of groups.

what's the deal with the ears ?

what's the deal with the ears ?

They think they can tell how dark or light a black baby will be by the ears!

9. I think some of the GLBT community went way overboard and did nothing but alienate those who supported them.

They are still doing it. The black vs. gay threads are blatant flamebait, yet they are allowed to continue.

One suspects the little blue primitive is not for long on Skins's island.

Not having talked to many blacks about this issue,( I don't know many), but I rather suspect that the lack of support for gays, from blacks may come from more of a religious stance.

As has been noted many times, for a group who claim they want equality, they sure do subdivide themselves into little mini-groups a lot.

Can they televise this on Pay-Per-View when they finally get the details ironed out?

Once again DU Adbot tosses it's $.02 into the fray.

Or their hair and eyes - or all three:




Sucks to be a victim of victims huh?

I don't know what the comment on the ears means so I'll take your answer.  What I do know is when I was driving a school bus as a second job several years ago my route was primarily to a black area.  The kids on the bus would argue over who was the blackest .... from what I could gather from sitting in the drivers seat and listening to these kids .... the blacker ones were considered 'less than'.  That seemed really odd to me.  I didn't ask any questions I just listened and observed.

You know, I don't know why, but gay men seem to appreciate victimhood more than any other group. Hell, they hold yearly parades to celebrate it. I bet if we told them they could have every right they wanted but they'd have to stop having their parades they'd turn us down. It's more important for them to dress up in pink tutu's or chaps with no jeans or Marilyn Monroe's ugly twin and prance around in public than it is to live quietly with that special someone. Must be hell to have to live one's life as a femme fatale.

Homosexuals in general are the most self-absorbed, selfish, and self-centered people you can meet.  That's just the way it is. 

Homosexuality has nothing to do with race.  This is best demonstrated by the fact that homosexuals come from all races.  I've noticed that radical homosexuals wish to be looked upon as a race of people, but who will indulge them?  Certainly not the black race.  Blacks have enough competition in the minority pool as it is.  Part of the problem is they have killed about 20 million of their own down at the abortion clinic. 

Do the math sometimes about how many black Americans there would be if there was no abortion clinics.  It's staggering.

I have wandered off thought here, but the main point is that homosexuals do not require any "rights".  What they call "rights" is in actuality "special consideration".  They want to be special - and certainly not "equal".  Equal doesn't feed their egos.

You're right.  There is no one more willing to be a victim and to wallow in self pity than a homo.  Generally speaking of course.
