So today, I was repeating a very funny skit from Eddie Murphy's Raw album where he speculated if Ralph and Norton from the "Honey Mooners" were gay.
So I repeat this and my black co workers a decade too young to know about it, jump on me and one of them says "I knew it"! Accusing me of being gay, like it was a bad thing in any case.
Holy fucking shit jackasses! After 400 years of slavery and decades of segregation and even today, you think they could see the same stupid bigotry they were aiming at me.
I am sensitive, I do cry easy, and I do not have a deep voice, I am non confrontational physically and I do identify more emotionally with women than men. But I am NOT gay.
I simply said when they jumped on me like it was a bad thing "Even if I was, it would be nothing to be ashamed of".
Their ignorance was astounding considering how even today, I have seen cops treat them.
If I am not ashamed to say I don't believe in a god, what makes them think that I should be ashamed of being gay?
The skit was funny, not because it was homophobic, but because it made fun of heterosexual stereotypes with a "What if".
What if Arnold was gay? For example. "Come on me if you like to Jizz"
It is the same stupid crap humans suffer from. Short term memory. We hate being treated like shit ourselves, but when we gain and advantage we forget how shitty we were treated ourselves and in turn, do the same thing to others we don't want done to us.
