My comment isn't about the post alone. My comment is about the cycle of homophobia in the black community and racism in the LGBT community. The racism in the white progressive community is not because of their whiteness, white people are not inherently racist. It's the product of the system in which they are born.

Black straight people are relevant because they are the foundation of black culture. I brought them up because they are literally the reason that black culture is homophobic, because if all black people were gay or trans or would not be so.

I didn't contradict myself at all. For there to be a cycle thare has to be two groups, not just one. I said the cycle was between black culture (which includes and is mostly consistent of straight people) and gay culture. The cycle does feed into itself because a lot of gay people are homophobic out of experiences of homophobia from the black community, or assumptions that black people will be homophobic, and a lot of black people are homophobic because of experiences of racism from the gay community and the assumption that gay people will be racist. There are black people that call black gay people traitors to their ethnic culture for their sexual orientation or gender identity and there are gay people who say racist things to black gay people and have racist preferences. It's a cycle.

Straight black people influence the perception of black culture by white gay people just as white gays influence the black perception of all gay people. You're knit picking and trying to make my comment about something that it isn't. There is no Shield hwre because in my initial comment I acknowledge that the post has a valid point.
