Okay you want to play the Oppression Olympics and then win a gold. Good luck with that. And to be clear, identity politics hacks want to be victims. YOU assumed I meant black people when I’ve just spent a whole bunch of words telling you the world doesn’t work that way. So no, black people are not part of the problem, but you are.

The white gay outrage guide:

level four Black people interrupted a party to remind you that we're still being murdered by police
level three Starbucks closed for a day to teach their employees how to not be racist pieces of shit
level two animal abuse
level one Taylor Swift tickets sold out
level negative seven hundred police murder people

Funny, I thought the problem was police killing with impunity, thanks for making me aware that the true injustice here is that we aren't expressing our discontent in a way that is digestible for people who only view us as big buck mandingos anyway.

As far as fixing it, I dunno how black people are supposed to get white cops to stop murdering them,

That’s literally true, you don’t.

maybe you have some ideas?

That’s also literally true.
But again, you don’t want to hear it as soon as you remember what colour I am.

Please tell me how there protesters are getting the message accross. As your previous post suggested, if you think these protests help, knock yourself out.

Right, because I will sacrifice my black brothers and sisters just for the opportunity to play victim, right?

And let me make this clear, because some of yall speak as if white guys and black people are allies or friends. We aren't and never have been. Our struggles are different and not once, not one single solitary time in history have white gays, en masse, reached out in solidarity to black people or cared about our problems-- despite all this righteous indignation that suggests you all to be some sort of ally. The same goes vice versa and I call my people out on it at every opportunity but since the racists have run all but ?two? black people off JUB there's no need for me to address that here. White gays are just as racist as everybody else and yall prove it every time events like this happen. When yall turned up at Stonewall and the White Night Riots they were hailed as heroes, here is a protest that is non-violent as fuck and not only do yall not support it, the protestors are being labeled terrorists and the word "hostage" has been thrown around all over this thread.

Spade = spade, white gays by and large don't give a single solitary fuck about black people outside of our big black dicks for fuckin and suckin. And yes. I sure the fuck did say it. Oh, "some not all."

yall: stop yerr whinin
also yall: wahhhhh you interrupted our party wahhhhhh we were having so much fun wahhhhhh wahhhhhhhhh

Wow. Right? Just Wow.

Okay I thought this was a particularly useless point of view to treat people as being somebody else’s problem or their own problem or not our problem just because we’re different skin colours and that gives us some supposed excuse to forget they’re our fellow citizens and neighbours:

The #1 killer of black people is...black people. Where is YOUR richeous indignation? Why expect everyone else to fix YOUR commumity?

In fact I said so right here, I said it made no damn sense:

This makes no damn sense to me either. Black people are MY community, and yours. Or did you move to that compound in Idaho?

But I have been schooled. I have been taught in this very thread that white people and black people cannot be friends or allies and that we never were. So I apologize mikey, it looks like you were right, I’m grateful to have been taught that by the wisdom in this thread.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

*worth noting both Stonewall and the WN riots were violent as fuck, anybody lining up to call them terrorists?

Who said "cannot?" There's always the hope that we will all learn and grow, step one involves realizing that your sensitivities are NOT as important as other people's lives and freedoms.

Wow. Right? Just Wow.

Yeah, who knew black people can be racists as well.

 

[Pierresro]

If they do not want police and Miitary because they are hommophobic I am right with them. In New York Gay Police Fore and Mikitary march . Here in Spain The Police and Miitary that mark as in many countries are gay or support gay rights.

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

Wow. Right? Just Wow.

Spare me Mikey, the divisive way you express how this is not your problem makes it all to clear that you wouldn't lose an oz of sleep of a bridge between the two were never built, you prefer it that way.

 

[Pierresro]

As some one born in new York I would like to point out that the reaso any where on earth has gay pride marches started at the Stone wall bar . Half of the gay clients where Trannies. The Police for years walked in arrresting for no reason and beating teh hell out of them . In 1969 when the police came in the patrons beat the shit out of them and thats why you all have any parades or rights so I am with people who do not want Military or Police if they are no for Gay Rghts PERIOD

 

[fabulouslyghetto]

dictionary.com can tell you what racism is to avoid embarrassing yourself with a gross misuse of the word. I dunno how identifying this divide makes me racist, probably because it doesn't. And though there are black racists, I guess you can rest assured that they have zero political power to actually make your life even a tenth of a degree less comfortable. Must be nice.

Finally some signs of intelligent life and humanity in this thread. excellent post.

Such hate.

 

[zoltanspawn]

Ya know, a little empathy would go a long way folks.

Maybe it's time to take a step back, breathe, and try to feel where the other person is coming from.

Exactly.

Why tf do you think I’m arguing with you? Wait. I know this one. Because I’m white and would rather watch black people die at the hands of a racist cop I apparently see eye to eye with as long as I can still get my latté. And NOT because as one political human to another I think your strategy is all wrong and will just end up getting more people you care about killed. Yeah definitely not that last bit.
