That Gay Thread

[Huggy Bear]

FINALLY! We’re finally getting into shit that’s actually attested to in sources written before 2010! And sources both scholarly and primary at that!

So, you’re arguing that slave holders found ways to emasculate black men, and this time around, you’ve got something true, so now we can actually get somewhere and not get bogged down in questions of “did this actually happen?” And “How often?”

So, now I guess the question now is: is this sort of shit really representative of gay people as a whole, or are you using the same mindset white supremacists use to write off the entire black race as stupid and violent, just like Fake Messiah did sarcastically a few posts ago? Because, frankly, that’s what I’m seeing from you.

Side note: I recently rewatched Roots, and it looks like in a few scenes in the middle two episodes, John Amos’ Kunta Kinte seems to be wearing a shirt that looks a lot like a muumuu. Less extreme than many of the primary sources I could find, of course, but it did help this toubab give you the benefit of the doubt in the minute or so before I did some fact checking and found it checked out.

My original post was in response to this

With all the inequalities and prejudices about, it must be a real pain in the ass to be gay

Ignoring the obvious pun...

My point was, the white LBGT community has been practicing and benefiting from white supremacy, they aren't oppressed... The only example people came up with was Stonewall, and those responsible for that riot were BLACK lbgt, and it was FAR more likely that their blackness was more of a factor than their gayness...
