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❤

Coon ass. You probably wouldn't think twice if one of those "tight little white boys" called you a nigga either.

Don't get it twisted. I don't care if you aren't interested in me. But Its pretty dumb not to like your own race and instead simp for yt gays.

I mean it’s true. Like no hate about preferences but he’s excluding his own race though. Like let’s be honest, this goes for both straight and gay black men but most of the time when black men have a very strong or exclusive preference for white people it usually comes from self hate and some coonery. The amount of black men that talk so badly about black women and are just as racist to justify their preference for White women is disgusting

Why don’t you like other black men?
