And imagine if Huggy had a thread devoted to black issues &c (like this thread) and I posted that same story in that thread.

Also none of us would say such a thread was "just people wanting attention" we would acknowledge it's a thread about black issues. Which is totally valid.

Well, that, and, from what I understand, the faked hate crime was more supposedly motivated by his race than his orientation. Also, I've always been bugged by the fact that the "Assailants" supposedly said "This is MAGA Country." In Chicago (which has had exactly one Republican Alderman since I was born), on the Near North Side (which voted for Hilary in 2016 at a rate of almost four times than they did Trump, which was downright neck-and-neck compared to many other community areas).

Stop... It was LBGT that was supporting Jussie, black people KNEW he was lying and were being called homophobic (black men specifically) for NOT supporting him.

Thats called white supremacy.. you see, black folks don't get to make false reports without getting punished, while Karens been doing it since forever.

BLM is an LBGT organization, the founders are all LBGT.

There are plenty of straight black people in BLM. Sorry, you don't get to play that card

Ayo Tometi is actually straight, their #1 focus has always been the rights of black people, certain attributes of an organisation’s founders don’t necessarily mean it’s all about said attribute, it’s too decentralized for the leaders to dictate how the movement goes, what the fuck are you even talking about?

From the start, Black Lives Matter has been about LGBTQ lives

Quote:From the start, the founders of Black Lives Matter have always put LGBTQ voices at the center of the conversation. The movement was founded by three Black women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, two of whom identify as queer.

Notice no mention of black men? try again...

Quote:Notice no mention of black men? try again...

Again plenty of straight black in BLM. So no you try again 

So, two of the three identify as queer? Well, guess what? That means that (assuming the third isn’t in the closet) they’re not all gay.

And black men are totally absent from the conversation? Even though the movement first picked up steam after the killing of Trayvon Martin? Or was he secretly female and nobody noticed?
