Nigeria bans gay marriage, gay meetings -- Does so secretly

Are homosexuals enslaved?

Are they dying by the millions?

Isn't it true that many homosexuals currently occupy the highest strata of modern society, moreso than other "oppressed groups"?

Exactly.

Further evidence of the rampant nearsightedness all too prevalent when this topic is brought up.

We have very little compassion or unity as a society for truly oppressed factions and really desperate causes but we will frantically gobble up whatever fast food is placed on our plate by the media. This topic is a perfect example of that.

Threads about racial profiling, child labor, environmental destruction, incarceration disparity, neo-colonialism, draconian immigration policies etc. don't stand a chance with out peer group but mutter anything about "homosexual equality" and the uproar will be deafening.

You'll swear that "gay people" are being shackled en masse and forced to live a life of servitude, rather then living in posh enclaves like Beverly Hills and SoHo; often looking down on the same people championing "homosexual equality".


so what's the takeaway from this?

i need to wait my turn because the severity of the gay struggle isn't nearly as bad as the african-american struggle?

or until i endure beatings and enslavement, i don't deserve equality?
 
After reading this thread ive come to realize that this thread was never about gay rights. It was always about race. Everything always seems to come back to race.

and until we stop pushing our racial issues under the rug for the hottest issue of the day, we will never make any progress and will keep on roundabouting back to it.

The race issue been with us with the inception of this nation. We keep kicking the issue down the road putting the burden of solving race relations on the next generation or too far out in the future.

We need to stop being side tracked.

Once we better deal with people respectfully, i think we will be better equipped to deal with people on a sexual level.

Until then, the shock value of the message is gonna always take precedence over lgbt issues.

We have to learn how to get along first before we start dealing with sex.

Do you even realize how defeatist it is for one to describe themselves as a "model minority?"

Whose opinion are you searching to sway and be deemed an "intelligent immigrant?"

Whose blessing are you seeking to get and receive that pat on your head and be called a "model minority?"

And this Anton ain't it?
That's the point....!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't condoning that mentality, I was simply elucidating the fact that it exists.

Look up the term "model minority" before you get bent out of shape, I was being sarcastic. We really going to act like I haven't been facepalming Nigerians for the last 3 days.

Why does one injustice need to take priority over another and who said that we should only deal with one injustice at a time?

I'm not really saying that.

These things can happen simultaneously.

Media gives us this limited perception of only being to handle only so many events at a time.

We can tackle multiple injustices.



People have layers. When you start out with them on a sexual level, you step over multiple boundaries and straight into their personal space.

It's not a priority issue.
 
I didn't really mean you Wr. You've been making solid points.

I'm talking about the guys who say that a wrongdoing has to meet a specific set of parameters for it to have any level of importance.
 
I just don't understand y'all comparing the ****...I can't hide being black...gay people aren't enslaved and treated like animals....civil rights side is comparable but overall gays are not treated like blacks were or currently are

But it all comes full circle to white people always downplaying what blacks went through cause TA DA their great ******g relatives got blood on their hands

You stay with the ignorance and stay coming out the wrong side of your mouth lumping all white people together. Lol at you saying you can't understand why "y'all comparing the ****...." and then comparing it yourself

 . And no, my great ******g relatives don't have blood on their hands. They came from Belfast through NY and into Michigan in the mid 1800's. 

So gay people should hide being gay? 

I hate to break it to you, but there are many more white people that are pro racial equality and will stand and fight the fight with black people than will try and hold black people back.

No, What I'm saying is they can hide it and MANY have......Blacks couldn't hide being black to avoid the disrespect imposed to them by whites

and why can I not say white people? Blacks, Asians, Latino, and w/e else under the sun wasn't enslaving blacks in America......
laugh.gif
 it was majority white people.....it is what it is

Gay folks deserve their rights but it rubs me the wrong way when it's compared to what blacks went through (IN AMERICA) ......now nigeria and in arab countries they treat gays on that same level but in America? LOL get the hell outta here because that **** doesn't come close 

have passion and want the best for gays but chill w/ bringing my folks plight into it.........but it comes full circle with a group of people in a certain race always downplaying the oppression of black people in this country 

word to yall slowly erasing it from the history books in schools.......word to yall using one month to "educate" folks on it when that **** is as American History as any other **** that went on....the youth today are so oblivious to the contributions blacks made in this country and I'm pretty sure yall grown ***** are too

I could rant on and on....personally I'm at peace w/ my beliefs and not insecure about them.......
nthat.gif


and I'm far from anti-white..........i'm just anti-bs when I see it ......and since you track my post you should know I don't get involved w/ race **** until I see it played off on some "it's not that serious" ****

Lol right on cue with the "I can't hide being black" foolishness. Apparently the options of not being yourself is justification for hatred.
shut up

in America the gay discrimination doesn't come close to what blacks went through except on the civil rights level

yall can spin it however you want to but it's the damn truth

just wish yall used this passion in daily discussions in ya lives but instead you run online.......this is yalls safe haven (and when I say yall I'm speaking to the ignorant ones who don't know **** about black history except for MLK and Malcolm X)

roll.gif

Puts hole in logic
usually when people pull scenarios outta their *** to "prove" a point it means they lost

have fun behind your medium brotha
 
:lol: @ what's going on in here.


why folks always trying to compare the black plight to gay plight.


they're different mayne...


its always the same cats trying to downplay what brothers go through... :smh:


I'm black...


and I'll say this a million times.


let them gay dudes cook.


No one is downplaying anything. People are simply pointing out the hypocrisy of a group of people who were oppressed, oppressing another group of people. An injustice is an injustice bro.

this. and cosigning fontaine. they need to stop focusing on the rainbow and focus on more important issues their society faces. same **** i say about the US too.
 
 
But why? What did they owe their enemies? ...I fail to understand why any blame (aside for using prisoners for a profit) The same people they have lived their whole lives despising? ..... 
Sums up racism, homophobia, and hate in general no?

What does anyone owe anyone but basic humanity?

If you can't condemn slavers, who can you condemn?

This is what this thread reminds me of. Saw this on Nightline 2 nights ago. They didn't post full video, but in the end, he sat down with "black militants" and ate and shook hands.

Fail to see what any of this has to do with homosexuals getting married.
laugh.gif
because it is mainstream news.

And we know that this is going to be a big issue with the Russian olympics and their ban on homosexual propaganda.

This is a precursor to what's the new issue to polarize allie and enemy lines around.
"We do not have a ban on non-traditional sexual relationships," said Putin in comments reported by Russian agencies. "We have a ban on the propaganda of homosexuality and paedophilia. I want to underline this. Propaganda among children. These are absolutely different things – a ban on something or a ban on the propaganda of that thing."

Putin also added that Russia was more liberal than some other countries, claiming that in certain US states homosexuality was still punishable by law.

"We are not forbidding anything and nobody is being grabbed off the street, and there is no punishment for such kinds of relations," said Putin. "You can feel relaxed and calm [in Russia], but leave children alone please," said Putin.
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/17/vladimir-putin-gay-winter-olympics-children

the fact that it is being used as a polarization method is inarguable. but looking past that, the fact that it's effecting people's lives should be the more important issue.

it's like people talk about this "gay agenda" thing and use it as a means to say it's okay if they're getting oppressed, we're stopping them from reaching their global takeover goals of 2014.

some of the Russians in power are using children as their means of pushing homophobia. kinda like how David Cameron banned porn and blocked a bunch of websites (non-pornographic) to "save the children". it is an empty gesture and it is an abuse of powers to promote certain ideals. this is supposed to be to protect children yet it's to the point over there that gay people have to have their own taxi service because they fear for their lives in public at night.

http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2013/oct/15/state-sponsored-homophobia-gay-rights
I just want to interject on this particular case, russia banning gay propaganda isn't what lead to an increase in homophobia or anti gay violence. Those types of things have been going on for a while now, the people/culture is not open to gays like American culture is. Only 16% of the Russian population is in favor of ACCEPTING homosexuality http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...-in-line-with-publics-views-on-homosexuality/

Don't look for the Russian gov to go against the population like that. If anything I could imagine it getting WORSE if the government switched it up, they got some groups of people out there that make our conservatives look like left wingers.
Stalin used to have gays rounded up and shot.

The Russian people didn't just wake up in 2013 and decide they wee against homophobia.  It's been endemic to the country and bred and cultured until it got to this point.

Putin isn't just going by what the peope want.  Russian 8 year old's don't get born hating gays.  It's been taught and encouraged for decades.  These laws aren't going to help that.

You could say the same about certain ethnic minorities that Russian polls show are "unfavorable."  These biases didn't come out of nowhere.

The people who keep making the "Gays can hide that they're gay" argument should look up "Browder v. Gayle".

It's the civil rights trial that led to the desegregation of buses.

One of the plaintiffs was an African American who was so fair skinned that they appeared Caucasian to the naked eye and could ride in the White section of buses without being troubled.

My point being, there are Black people who can hide that they are Black and blend in to White society.  Does that make their struggle any less legitimate?

Or do you have to be dark skinned for your fight to be real?  What if you're dark skinned and rich and have never personally suffered any social injustice?
 
 
Sums up racism, homophobia, and hate in general no?

If you can't condemn slavers, who can you condemn?
No, you are reaching. It's tribal warfare, nothing more nothing less.

So White man enslaves Black man, it's the greatest evil in human history.  Black man enslaves Black man and sells Black man to White man for profit and it's "just tribal warfare, nothing more nothing less"?

One form of slavery is ok, the other isn't?

Are you even listening to yourself?
