My revised outlook on racism in the gay community

[refujiunderground]

Mr. Whitaker who is millioniare is accused of stealing... by a 5 dollar an hours deli store clerk...

in my opinion that was racial profiling the racism that still exist .... and people will continue to pretend it doesnt exist...

The Milano Market on Broadway where the actor says he was searched.


Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker was accused of shoplifting and then publicly frisked inside a Manhattan deli yesterday morning.

The movie star, in town filming “Black Nativity” with Jennifer Hudson, was about to leave the Milano Market on Broadway when one of the workers there claimed to have seen him snag an item from a store shelf, his spokesperson said.

The worker stopped Whitaker and allegedly gave him a humiliating pat down in full view of everyone in the Morningside Heights store.

Lenny Abbot, PacificCoastNews.coForest Whitaker on the set of his upcoming movie "Black Nativity"No stolen items were found and Whitaker left. His driver, Reggie Crupe, said he was parked outside waiting when the actor came out of the store.

“An employee from the store came outside to speak with him and to apologize,” Crupe said in a statement. “He told Mr. Whitaker that the cameras in the store were at a bad angle and that he could not see if Forest had stolen anything.”

The employee even tried to offer the millionaire actor free food to make up for what had happened.

Whitaker’s spokeswoman said the incident violated the actor’s rights.

“This was an upsetting incident given the fact that Forest did nothing more than walk into the deli,” Jennifer Plante said. “Forest did not call the authorities at the request of the worker who was in fear of losing his employment.”

Instead, Whitaker, who won the best actor Oscar for his role in 2006’s “The Last King of Scotland,” asked the store to change the way it treats its customers.

i'm sure you know living in westchester that the new york tri state area is probably one of the most racist and most segregated areas in the united states. it's REALLY that bad. this doesn't surprise me at all. over here in north jersey, it's just as bad. i happen to live in a community which has a mixed population. when you go west, it gets whiter. when you go east, it gets blacker. if you're black, you have to watch your ass either way. you have the folks in those uppity towns which have a high white population that don't want you there or they think that they're a crook or something. then you have the poor communities with a high black population where some folks such as some idiots with nothing better to do are looking for trouble and being black just makes you a target for folks to bring their trouble to. in either community, you have the cops looking at you as if you're the number one suspect. i remember waiting at the bus stop in irvington waiting for a 25 bus so i can go to the lgbt center in new york where the police was across the street looking over at me thinking i was a drug dealer. the officer was a black man like me. it's messed up. i can go on about the many times i've been harassed by cops being treated like i was a drug kingpin or a damn murderer like the time i was in warren county and some dickhead bitchmade fucking cop was trying to rough me up. i hope somebody capped that punk ass bitch's ass.

OOOOHHHHHHH. LOL. There was poster on here that told me racist gay white men did not exist, and that GAY was the new BLACK.lol. I wonder is he reading this thread.lol. I can guarantee that some of these gay white men, that look down on black gay people, or use them as sex objects, while screaming GAY RIGHTS,are the main ones wearing those pretty freshly pressed white sheets over their heads, drinking up a storm with their fellow "good ole' boys."

Yeah, that's absolutely how it went down. I was there, I saw it all! No one was spared! Not even the children!

 

[Medusa]

I wonder what Medusa thinks about this?

But since it's the struggle that some gheys face involving racism I'm sure it doesn't matter

I am so glad you mention my name,sweetie. What I think I have already posted, but let me just say this. Race comes first in America, sexuality comes second. Now all you guys can say "NNNNNOOOOO THAT NOT TRUE.ALL GAYS ARE IN THIS TOGETHER" and I will say bull fucking shit. Gay white men still benefit the privileges of being white (yes I said it, and I don't give a damn), while gay black people well... look at where they are.So of course I will somewhat care that my fellow blacks are getting discriminated against by their "so called" fellow community(yeah that's funny), I mean come on, I am black. And I guess for them it's a double whammy, or dishearten that the buck of the GL community looks down upon them, just like their straight counterparts. On the flipside though, I have notice that the black community is becoming more open minded to their gay folks,so that's a good thing. Hopefully in the next few years the black community as a whole will get their shit together, and top giving each the side eye.

I dunno... it's always been strange to me when guys categorically say they aren't attracted to an entire ethnic group.

Agreed, which is why I said "generally" in my post. I generally tend to be attracted to guys who look much like me, though, but even it that was exclusively who I went for I wouldn't even contemplate putting "no non-whites" on a dating profile. Having said that, for hook-ups, I do kinda understand why people do.

To some extent, biology may play a role, but it's hard for me to understand the people who will just outright ostracize blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc. It makes me wonder to what extent the racial preferences are socially-conditioned; that is, to what extent (unconscious) internalized racism filters its way into people's sexuality. The fact that interracial relationships are growing more common with time and among younger generations suggests whatever biological predispositions are at work are fairly limited.

As has been mentioned here already, I wonder if it's more of a xenophobic/cultural thing which puts people off. Like assuming all gay guys are effeminate, love showtunes and hate sports.

-d-

This load of crap brought to you by some dude who only wants to date white guys.

And I can tell you that I have burned down buildings with the sex I've had with Indian guys.

I can hear this voice loudly.

I find this statement from post 1 interesting and worth repeating

"Problems plague Middle Eastern men. What is the reluctance to commincute with one another? Fear of being discovered by heterosexual members of the same race and alienation from the group or harsher punishment? Whenever we spoke to a Middle Eastern gay male, there was an air of secrecy about them. They would sometimes confide that they were scared of family, friends, or their community discovering their sexuality. This problem inhibits their ability to seek love or sex among their own race. This is also true of first and second generation Asian Americans. We did not really find this confession or sentiment among any other race to any notable extent."

 

[Telstra]

I wanna be that one in the middle.

Do you hear a lot of voices in your head loudly?

Yes but only from rareboy.
I skipped your voice

 

[Telstra]

Then you haven't met me and you are imposing your own attributions. I don't have to be credible to you -- I have to be me.

I invited you to PM well-known members on here that I've PM'd with for some time. They can readily tell you that my language is my language in all settings.

Sometimes I quip with short barbs, but I usually am long-winded, and speak just as I do now. I've never had any member before suggest my language is not my natural vocabulary.

If you want to investigate your accusation, ask them. If you want to continue to attack me based on a criticism that you won't validate when you are able, then that says something in and of itself, now doesn't it?

It's pretty convenient when you have moved from accusing me of using a false vocabulary in the thread to using it in my private messages with friends.

If I'm using it all over the place, exactly how is it false to the real me?

PM is not a good idea about this topic.
I want people with clever language to battle it out. I think penayforay have the edge so far.

 

[Telstra]

Talk about damned by faint praise.

Telly, with your track record for misjudgment and mental laziness, I take it as a downright endorsement that you side with another man's words over mine. When we start agreeing on any thing moral or intellectual, I'll take that as a sign I'm in trouble.

Thanks for the validation!

Well i like your "perfect" English but its too much me ...

 

[bankside]

Telly, hard-up was being accused of showing off with his language skills just to be arrogant in this thread. Hard up replied that he talks te same way in any thread or in any PM, and anyone was welcome to check it out. He was not saying this topic should be discussed by PM instead of in the threAd. Either I misunderstood your post, or you misunderstood hard-up's post.

Anyway carry on everyone.

on medusa, i don't THINK she's a woman. i think she's either enchanted or holyeggroll and that whoever it is, they're just trying to play a troll game on us.

and i'm a bit annoyed right now. i want to eat lunch upstairs in my room all alone. i DON'T want to eat it downstairs where i have to eat and hear my father trying to have bullshit conversations with me. my foods still in the microwave and my mom came home. she doesn't want me to eat upstairs ever since that rat problem we had last year in october. i really don't want to eat downstairs with my parents around especially my father. like i don't feel like listening to him telling me what the fuck is on tv when he knows i'm not watching it. i don't need him giving me play by play, telling me this person, talking to me about what happened 2 days ago and etc. not interested in him basically talking about himself or what he's thinking then at the same time, when i talk to him, he ignores me as if i don't exist. i don't like my father. he's a fucking narcissistic jackass.

And while we're at sharing random stories about racism, I heard that recent story in the news about an old white guy slapping a little black infant on a plane and telling his mother to "shut that Nigger baby up." The mother, who is white, is having none of that mess.

YES!

I heard that. That poor child. I bet this was a complete and total shock to his White parents. His mother was about to cry as she talked about it. I hear that the man drew blood. Horrible, horrible. Im not a violent person by any means but I think that I would have had to get physical with this guy. How can someone just assault a toddler.

I suppose that this level of racism could be surprising to anyone. In college, I was always quite surprised at how much my meer presence would evoke anger in people. Racism seems sp exhausting, you're always so angry.

 

[rareboy]

Actually, mine was the only constructive suggestion when hylas asked white he could not make more white friends. I suggested the clean cut look. Who else offered something constructive?
I did point out that minority men tend to wear facial hair, but that is cultural, not racial.

omg.


This is why I love these threads.

No he "sort of" told me off to study better English in other threads.
Now Penay is his match

Page 3 of this thread is a mess.

And I'm glad Medusa is back from her ban to blow shit up in this thread.

Oop. Shopping While Black strikes again.

LOL.Maybe. Btw, you have the best gifs.Love that dude in drag, and his fierceness.

And if I was that mother on the plane, I would made have damn sure he would no longer going on slapping innocent babies all willy nilly. A large can of mace would do just fine. And maybe a taser.Bastard
