Members Darn Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'm so sick of this. Queer people are treated like sh!t across all communities, why is the black community always singled out? Anyway, good for them I guess. I loved Amen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 I have wondered that myself. Why IS the African-American community singled out for its treatment of gays and transgendered people? I used to believe it was a combination of our deeply-held beliefs (Bible-based, traditional, even conservative) and the history of the civil rights movement in this country. But I'm not so sure anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 I expect Maya to be beaten and raped in a vicious hate crime before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted June 4, 2015 Members Share Posted June 4, 2015 I feel like this narrative took hold after Obama was elected because Prop 8 also passed during the same election. Homophobes used it to say "Look at how much the blacks hate the gays!" I throw it on the stereotype heap with "All black people go to Baptist churches with rousing music." I think it will be her friend the dayplayer. He'll be killed and we can all watch Maya cry as $Bill gets a look of understanding and sympathy on his face because he finally "gets it."

Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted June 5, 2015 Author Members Share Posted June 5, 2015 It did become the narrative after Prop 8, when I believe the polling showed AA overwhelmingly voted in favor of Prop 8's passage. It annoys me too, but it doesn't help, that black people accept it as fact and say it themselves, like in this interview, time and time again.

Members ReddFoxx Posted June 5, 2015 Members Share Posted June 5, 2015 Blacks do tend to be socially conservative, but that is changing. The church is a heavy influence on most black communities and that means that attitudes still remain strongly conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
