In this wikipedia article it shows the percentage of people who believed that being LGBTI should always be a crime.
The first country with a significant white population on that list is 19th down, which is Russia.
All the countries higher are either African or Islamic countries.
And it's also reflected in how laws are applied in Islamic and African countries relative to European countries, America, Canada and Australia.
For instance European and Western white majority countries have legalized homosexual marriage in comparison to some Islamic and African countries which have the death penalty.
In relation to black Americans though from what I can statistic on wikipedia seem to show they have the same view as American whites have. Slighlty less favourable towards gay marriage by 1 percent or so but not significant.
This is in relation to the demographics behind black/Islamic populations attitude to homosexuality.
I haven't really looked into it, but I do remember Black Lives Matter themselves tweeting that over 80 % of murdered trans people in the US are women of colour. I know we're talking homophobia and not transphobia, but if that's even close to true, plus with the homophobia seen in rap music and on message boards, etc, it would seem to me that LGBTQ people of colour have it worse off right now from their own communities. https://twitter.com/Blklivesmatter/statu...6376525825 I'm surprised to hear that they have similar thoughts to whites on marriage equality though. That's great to hear.

Blacks are disadvantaged compared to whites so it makes more sense for them to be more likely to be racist. Yes, there are still many racist whites, but times are changing. Obama was elected, twice. Muslims and blacks are also more homophobic than whites. Now, if you see that statement and want to take it as me putting down blacks and Muslims, then fine, you can choose to interpret it that way, but in reality I want to be their ally, and I really don't like seeing anti-black racism or bigotry and attacks against Muslims who have to deal with way too much shit (with shithead Trump making it worse). I want things to be better for blacks and Muslims, but I'm not going to ignore reality so I don't hurt anyone's feelings. If something seems to be true to me then I'm going to say it.
"Black lives matter" isn't about who is or isn't racist. It's about a section of the population being disadvantaged for racist reasons.
Yes, and like I said, I like the name Black Lives Matter, I would like to be an ally of the black community, and I agree that they have much to be angry about, and I don't take issue with them wanting their voice to be heard.
