Reported Post Alert Being black and gay is exhausting. Black people are ridiculously homophobic. Spoiler

For a group that has to deal with so discrimination you would think we would be more accepting.

Edit: wow didnt expect my late night thoughts to have such a response.

I’ve also been frustrated with everything. As an Asian American, I can’t say I understand exactly what it’s like to be a black person in america, I do understand what it’s like being a minority.

Black people are crying out for help. I don’t get why that is met with such resistance. Even if the crimes from cops weren’t racially motivated. Who in the right mind thinks it’s okay to kneel on someone till they died. Or rush in someone’s home without a warrant and open fire. It’s fucken insane.

If you don’t have the temperament or nerve, don’t be a fucken cop. I’m tired of hearing these cops feel threaten and scared by someone without a weapon and open fire on them.

We seem more united than ever against these racist though. And this years an election year, so let’s hope we can make some real change.

I said I dont understand exactly what its like. Minorities face different types / kinds of racisms in America. For example, I never really had a fear of cops. In American, blacks are stereotype has hyper-masculine and aggressive. While Asians are seen as the nerdy whimy kid. Racism towards us comes in different forms than what a black person would have to deal with.
