That Gay Thread

[Rev. Rye]

Case in point: Jesse Lee Peterson once likened the Middle Passage (y’know, the horrific conditions in which captured Africans were sent to the New World to become slaves, packed about as close as they could possibly be without everyone dying) to flying coach and thanked God for slavery. That sounds like something a white supremacist would say, right? Well, it turns out he’s black. And, frankly, the man’s elevated melanin content doesn’t make it any less white supremacist to my ears.

And, frankly, given that Trump managed to blur the line between standard conservatism and open white supremacy to the point where you really have to be looking hard to see that the line is even there, black white supremacists might be easier to find than one might expect. Add in the fact that Milo Yiannopolous was ever a major political figure, despite being the awkward combination of a blatant white supremacist who palled around with Richard Spencer and made passwords like 1290longknives and a gay man with a black husband, the idea of a black LGBT white supremacist isn’t all that preposterous. Hell, if we even knew more about that husband besides the fact that he’s black, named John, and married to a total trash fire, he might actually be that black swan Huggy Bear is denying exists.
