Thread: Do the black people get mad when Gays...

Being gay is not a condition. People say I chose to like guys, but I forced myself onto girls and just wasn't feeling it.

Black people are often discriminated against because black people often discriminate. However, gay is a bit different. People think it's a choice, like it's a moral problem. I disagree, but they think it's something controlable. Anyways, why is this on the Big Brother board? The Stepfather - 9/10 Whip It - 8/10

It's no secret that Gays are brutalized and beaten because of their sexual orientation. Also some parents/people will remove a child from a persons class or other activities because they are gay. Gays are accused of being pedophiles or dangerous to the community quite often. Of course their orientation can be "hidden" but that doesn't make it easier just different imo. That is why I say comparing isn't the way...

Really good post, thanks. :) *****

compare their plight of discrimination to what blacks went thru? It always seemed silly when Gays say they have it as bad as blacks did/do since they can hide their condition better than being colored. Discuss.

Watch this youtube video, it was aired on Television station ABC. A guy called the police because 2 black people fell asleep in a car in the park. He said they looked like they were going to rob someone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIVgMvuCM_k&feature=related When this happens to a gay person, I will take the question more seriously. One more thing, a homosexual can hide their "condition" (homosexual identity...

no i don't. and as a black gay man. i do understand how some people feel. i have heard out of some black straight people mouths that very same statement. i don't feel that way at all. but when people say it. i do see where they are coming from. blacks were denied and to this day still is being denied jobs, and being looked at funny and sill being judged and disrespected for our skin color. the same way it's not fair to deny gays...

People are prejudice and we can't change that. The best we can do is change ourselves. African American people are discriminated against because of their race. Homosexual people are discriminated against because of their sexual orientation. However, we can't blame this issue solely on Caucasian people. As an African American, I constantly hear fellow African American people make racist remarks regarding Caucasian people. We...

Blacks and gays aren’t the only ones who have it tough. Do you know when blacks won the right to vote? 1865. Now how about women? 1920! That wasn’t even a 100 years ago. And did you know that a black man will get a job over a more qualified woman of ANY ethnicity? Women can’t even get proper medical care in this country. And guess what? It’s not so easy for a woman to hide the fact that she’s a...
