As strong as many heterosexual Black men claim to be, why are they so threatened the gays?
I just don’t get it.
In a world where heterosexuality permeates literally every crevice of every culture for every Black person all over the world, we still see this crippling fear of homosexuality.
It’s as if they view becoming gay is as transmissible as the Delta variant of COVID-19. No, actually in their minds being gay is even more transmissible since they believe you can catch it from merely seeing a gay person in a music video.

Where is my rant coming from, you may be asking? Recent events, of course. In case you’ve missed them:
During a recent Rolling Loud performance popular rap artist DaBaby started an unusual call-and-response with his audience where he asked them to put their cell phone lights in the air if they didn’t have HIV or AIDS that would “make you die and 2, 3 weeks” and if the fellas didn’t “suck a nigga dick in the parking lot.”
DaBaby went on a boomer style homophobic rant at Rolling Loud that was oddly specific pic.twitter.com/D47p64FaqO

Many people in the audience have since given their testimony that this rant was unnecessary and not even celebrated by the fans in the crowd:
I was in the audience when you made these comments. everyone around me got real quiet and we all looked at eachother like wtf did he just say. it was extremely unnecessary and uncalled for.

After the backlash began, DaBaby quickly hopped on social media to give obligatory half apologies that only made the situation even worse for his PR team.

Then came the responses in his defense, mostly from fellow homophobic rappers, but also from the Black hoteps and the “preserving the Black family” types (who always happen have YouTube channel and/or books to sell you).
Last week, white music execs put out one of the most racist music videos imaginable, & tried to hide the racism behind their Black one-hit wonder artist. And the white media was in full support of that anti-Black video.

But now they are “outraged” over DaBaby talking about AIDS?
What is Tariq Nasheed (producer of the Hidden Colors documentaries) talking about? Lil Nas X, of course.
White corporate music execs funded a music video with Lil Nas X, where a bunch of Black men are in prison twerking. And the lone white man, Jack Harlow is sexually involved with a FEMALE guard. But all the Black men are sexually engaging with each other.

I can only imagine how much venom is quietly being thrown out there by Black men given how much attention Lil Nas X has received from his provocative and unabashedly gay music videos over the past year or so.
#LilNasX isn’t fighting for gay rights.

He’s marketing the sexual irresponsibility that’s causing young men to die from AIDS.
Being gay is one thing, but being a super spreader is another.
There’s nothing healthy or helpful about that video.
Especially for children.
y’all be silent as hell when niggas dedicate their entire music catalogue to rapping about sleeping with multiple women. but when i do anything remotely sexual i’m “being sexually irresponsible” & “causing more men to die from aids” y’all hate gay ppl and don’t hide it. https://t.co/ZiwbYcIH5l

Not every Black man is what we would call progressive when it comes to homosexuality. They are when it applies to buxom bisexuals or “lipstick lesbians,” as they call them, but not gay men who they will likely never meet or intimately come across with in their lives.
Homophobia in the Black community is far from a new thing, but thanks to progressive LGBT movements, Black Creatives dominating their fields and the use of social media, Black bisexuals and gays have forced many of the outright bigots to hold their tongues.
However, like Trump supporters fearing that they’re losing their grip on the culture, maybe the Black homophobes feel the need to start pushing back again.
Although I feel that the dam has already broken and there’s no turning back to the way things were back in the 1990’s and earlier, many of these prominent Black men can still do a lot of damage to our already mentally fragile community dealing with so many other traumas and threats.
This brings me back to my original question, why are they so threatened?
There are no shortages of Black families out there. There are no shortages of Black children being born. Literally no one can become gay just by seeing another gay person in a music video or on a TV show…or even seeing one sucking dick in a parking lot.
all jokes aside the idea of a gay agenda doesn’t make sense. if someone influences you to suck cock you probably already wanted to suck cock.

Heterosexuality is still the dominate imagery in Black culture. The most popular Black television shows, movies, musicians, athletes and entertainers are all heterosexual or promote a heterosexual lifestyle.
Even if some men were “sucking dick in the parking lot” before DaBaby’s performance, how does that affect him? They still paid for their tickets to support him just like everyone else.
For the likes of Dr. Boyce Watkins and Tariq Nasheed, how does one music video released by “white execs” (that no one is forced to watch, by the way) somehow reveal a master racist conspiracy or promote sexual irresponsibility? Especially when we see thousands more examples of this from heterosexuals?
As Lil Nas X put it, “just say you hate people, musty.”
there was nothing demonic about the industry baby video. just say u hate gay people musty. https://t.co/3CmrEqViQm

So what is the point of this blog post? Not much that we haven’t already discussed, to be honest. Just venting, I guess.
Many Black men feel insecure and threatened by homosexuality and nothing I write or say will change that. All I can do is live my life and try to ignore their intolerance that will likely continue as long as religion, ignorance and hyper masculinity has its grasp on our collective psyches.

Messy y’all Period!!
They (the Black community) can't help but put their burdens on us. Why does the burdens of the Black Family rest on the shoulders of Black non-heterosexual men? Why are we the scapegoats? Why and how is Black (MALE) homosexuality on the same level as white supremacy as it relates to our destruction?
I hope Black non-heterosexual folk understand that the majority of Black heterosexuals hate you. How many examples do you need?
Uh oh. The Mainstream White Gays are getting in on it…DaBaby really messed up, lol. Got Elton John posting a 5-part tweet in response.
Hope folk know DaBaby will not be cancelled because he has strong support from the Black community. He good…diaper and all.
It is all rooted in misogyny. Straight Black men are not interested in dismantling patriarchy and are willing to work within a white supremacy framework to maintain the patriarchal order. Straight black men hate non-heterosexual men for the same reasons they hate women.
Well that didn't take long. Now these rappers threatening violence against Nas X.
This n****a just keeps making it worse.
@Nick Delmacy Its sad… calling them out on anti-gay rhetoric to them is the same as being homophonic. Just like these Trump supporters saying, calling me out on my racism is racist, as they call you a nigger. Man I'm telling you, these Black dudes operate out of the white supremacist play book 'victimhood' chapter.

Living a few blocks away from that mess, I heard about this on the radio this afternoon.
So good for them, but also boo to them and Lori Lightfoot for allowing this three day super spreader event to take place regardless of Da Baby.
There are no heroes in America….
I'm coming in late to this convo. But DaBaby deserves everything that's coming to him. Not only was his first comment absolutely ridiculous (which he could've actually weathered the storm), he doubled down on the bullshit, and now is so blatantly offering a fake ass apology. Fck you bro.
*aside* i'm so hurt (but not really) bc the he coulda got every piece of..nvm….point is, I would've been fully verse with him hahaha
