    "Why did it take the US so long to end slavery-after most other nations like England and France has done away with it years earlier?"

    That's a simple answer. For the same entity that rules every facet of this country's existence today...

    Regardless of their personal situation or upbringing white people regardless of there sexual orientation in this country are brought up in a culture that tells them they're superior to non-whites, especially black people. There is no denying that. It's not something you should take personally like someone is calling you a racist. Also you also can't deny the fact that gay media is overwhelmingly controlled by affluent white people. In the rare instances non-white lgbt people are shown it's almost always in an interracial context. This helps gives ammunition to homophobes in the black community that "homosexuality is a white man's disease." Of course not all white people or white gay people are racist or white supremacists. They don't have to be. White supremacy is so pervasive that it is self sustaining. It doesn't need all white people to be racist in order to function, yet all white people benefit from it, including white gay people.

    I've made this point before and I'll make it again white gay people are raised with the same white supremacist mindset as straight white people. One shouldn't be surprised by their attitude or actions. If you actually take the time to think about it white gay activism is not about equality just like white feminist activism isn't about equality. It's about gaining full access to the benefits of whiteness.

    We have talked about this for years on Cypher Ave. Because we are not a mainstream Black Queer/Fem leaning publication we've always gotten crickets. Now a Black Fem Rapper/Musician comes out with the hashtag and wouldn't you know it...it's blowing up.



    Doubt anything will change. As evident in the response from a white gay person.
