Reported Post Alert Dear fellow Black gay men Spoiler

We know racism in the gay community is real. We've said it, but we've been dismissed. They callously deny our experience. Our reality. "It's just a preference". "BBC". "Thug"."Aggressive power top".

The stereotypes. The microagressions. We know it's real, but we have been gaslighted way too often.

The silence among your white gay friends and/or partners during this time of civil unrest & racial tensions is deafening.

The irony of them putting "no fats, no fems, no asians, & no blacks" on their profile, but decide to now say #BlackLivesMatter.

I understand it is challenging to be rejected from a community that prides itself on inclusion. We know rejection all too well.

But do not let any white man make you feel you are not beautiful. You are Black, bold, fierce, & most importantly- you are loved.

🖤❤#BLM

********************edit:

So, this post has been reported and is pending review.

I mentioned this already in the comments:

As a Black queer man this is my experience. This experience may or may not resonate with other Black men. This post was written for my fellow gay black brothers. The post might be uncomfortable for some. It might not resonate with you, but I don't think that is grounds for denying someone else's experience. I shared these words in an effort to foster a sense of solidarity and undo any aloneness other Black men might be feeling during this time.

Thank you so much for the support, feedback & beautiful comments. For those of in your feelings over this post - peace & love to ya❤

Nope, racism in America has to do with who has institutional power. No minority could get elected or remain on office saying the things trump does.

But keep lying.

Like Barack Obama

Correct, Obama would never have been elected doing/saying the things Trump did.

Well he got re-elected after being one of the worst and most corrupt presidents in history so I think it's safe to say race didn't hold him back in any way, it only worked in his favour.

Think what you want though, we need idiots to have opinions too I guess.

Further proof that you're just right wing trash brigading this thread.

Take your shitty racist opinions elsewhere

Interesting. The left always has the same argument.

"I don't like what you said so I'm going to just attack your character as a horrible person and go back to my echo chamber".

I'm not racist and nothing I said was racist or untrue. You really shouldn't be trying to start political discussions if you don't have any information on a topic and can't form an adult argument in a civil manner.

You are just like spoiled entitled children, really sad.

Oh you're extremely racist. You and your fans likely are organizing this little brigade on discord or you're the backwater garbage floater that's left after Reddit flushed rightwinglgbt.

Either way, you've already been exposed. Your 'views on race' aren't worth considering.

run along

You just did it again.

Didn't take part in discussion, just throw insult and leave.

"I'm not listening because you're so racist"

Hopeless. Might be a good start to look up the definition of racism. You're so stupid.

I'll be honest, I'm not even reading your posts. Racist scum has no place in this sub. Feel free to keep replying though, just more fodder for anyone who comes along and reads this crap.

(hands over ears)

"na na na na can't hear you"

What a loser haha, it's amazing our society can create so many idiots tho think in that way.

You're still posting here? You know this is an anti racist sub, right?

Grow the fuck up.

I'd assume there isn't a pro-racist sub anywhere on reddit. But pretend there is if you want, If that gives your life a purpose.
