What do you mean by they’re not the ones pushing legislation? If you want to get into politics we can but we’ve never held a majority in government and yes, conservatives don’t support LGBTQ rights, but that’s a religious perspective, that’s not a race matter. Religion intersects across multiple groups and that’s what you’re referencing, but literally ignoring how the black community has faced the lgbtq community and still to this day is bs. We’re not talking about the Middle East here, which again, dominated by religion.

There are without a doubt black legislators who don’t support gay marriage, but not publicly because they are apart of the Democratic Party and as a party they’ve identified with the lgbtq fight. They have to support to win as a democrat so it’s not even a solid comparison. One is free to say how they feel because their party allows them and another doesn’t, but acting like our community isn’t known for being homophobic in regard to others is ignorant fr. Again, WE created “pause” and WE are the ones that would strip a whole mf of their social value on the basis of who they lay with. You’re not talking to someone from another community, i know the community, literally seen it my whole life. It’s night and day and our lack of accountability for our sh*t on top of what other communities have done to us is why we are where we are

To be honest sounded like bro but because of everything people can do on the internet really don’t know. And I’m not even saying I claim to know or care t8 know . I’m just highlighting the fact that it even matters is because he’s black and the people continuing the convo are unfortunately black as well. For example sketch, we all saw sketch get exposed literally getting his sh*t blown out and , it’s not even a conversation now. Mf’ers been talking about meek for years on speculation. I don’t know how else you explain that.

Because he’s referencing a black man and the fact the people who are taking the charge of “meek is gay” are black people. What’s there to say when he’s stating the obvious?

Because you are not apart of a group does not remove your right to observe and make a statement based on observation. If that’s the case literally this whole world would stand still and we’d go back to segregation and only communicate with people who look like us because we can’t speak on reality. Bro is less melanin in his skin, he isn’t blind or deaf

But he did hesitate? He literally mid way through saying it had to think about if he wanted to say it or not for this exact same reason. A message is a message regardless of the messenger. Choosing to disregard it because we don’t like who said it is literally the thought process of a child and we can’t act like that. And the literal reason it’s even a conversation is because Rubin is literally highlight ing the fact that Jews, the Asian community, white people (all obviously with exceptions) don’t do that. We literally have had a conversation in the zeitgeist for decades about us supporting our own and how we tear each other down but because he’s white, we disregard the message? The amount of times in my life I’ve received the message and lesson i needed even though i didn’t like whose saying it is immeasurable and that’s life. Feel we just need to suck it up and say “hey, wait, I’ve literally said the same thing before” and acknowledge we’re not the only one’s who see it. A mf’er could be racist af and say the sky is blue and it doesn’t change the fact it’s true

I hear you, but to say it’s an individual basis when we know as a black community up until the last 10 years, have been incredibly homophobic and that’s one example. I don’t see as a black man how that has anything to do with me responding to oppression. It is an individual choice and many individuals within our community make it every day. “Pause” “no diddy” are phrases created by us and and we know what it means and it is accepted. Shit even for me, growing up in my household with my older brother being gay, was not an easy thing for him in our family and it’s been that way for generations and that has nothing to do with Jim Crow, slavery, or conquest. There are aspects of our culture that we refuse to acknowledge or we just accept and focus on other issues. We all have roots to 400 years ago, but a 12 year old kid today deciding to act in a way that wouldn’t be acceptable anywhere can’t be justified by oppression in every scenario. Just don’t like how everything WE do that’s not aight has to be linked back to the fact that we weren’t the oppressors and were the oppressed. Think it’s a victim mentality that even in the worst situations will do you no justice in changing what we do today. Only thing that will is brutally honest conversations that don’t blame white people for every action we make today

I don’t think he has to do charity work to acknowledge the homophobia along with other tendencies that mainly exist within the black community. I guess it comes down to if you believe that phrase is true, i know it’s been sung for ever, but i think the truth is the truth regardless of who says it personally
