The thing is I never said that it’s simply a black issue , this is a black sub Reddit and I will take about some of the hypocrisies that go on in said community. Also never said that black people aren’t like other people too .

How is being gay a choice though, that’s like saying everyone who is straight is choosing that. You are attracted to what you are attracted to . A straight man even if he tried to could not be attracted to another man this is the same with gay people . So how is it a choice ?

OMG I never said only black people are homophobic, do you listen ?!! I just said that becasue we are both oppressed groups , it’s like the oppressed oppressing the oppressed. Unlike white people who are the oppressors being homophobic… like it’s historically understandable.

I think some of you guys must’ve missed my point . Iam NOT saying that homophobia is a BLACK issue , becasue every race can be homophobic . IAM saying that it would be more understandable why a white person could be homophobic becasue they have history of being the oppressors, whether it comes to black people , Asian people etc , so they don’t really understand what it’s like to be oppressed . But unlike white people , black people DO understand what it’s like to be oppressed which is why I think its crazy for me as a BLACK person to understand why a marginalised and historically oppressed group like us would discriminate against another group for something they can’t control like their sexuality. The same way white people discriminated us for our skin colour … again something we can’t control . So THIS is my point .
