It seems like attitudes against LGBTQ stuff abound everyday in Africa.  I can point out the interview that we've gotten some yucks over.  And it's funny because they seem so backwards, and yet they are native black people and so we aren't supposed to be outraged.  So, whatever.  But, also, seems like american black people are homophobic as well, but just more mildly so.  But even liberals are supposed to be ok with this, because they are black.  It's like you can't talk about how crime is worse with black people on the news or their homophobic attitudes, because they have been victims in the past.  So now, they get a get-out-of-jail-free card to have the moral right to be this way, and white people aren't given the same thing.  

Liberal people logic makes you first calculate which group has been hurt worse in society:  gays or blacks?  If it's blacks, then there is no reason that we should hate on their attitudes.  We'll just try to listen to some rap in front of them or something to show that we like black culture.  I personally don't mind black culture, I just think that our acceptance of some things is kind of hypocritical because it's as if we are supposed to allow some people to be prejudiced but others cannot be.  

'Why are you gay?' Full interview featuring Pastor with full subtitles.

This will a interesting thread.

Calling svennoJ, Curl-6, and anybody else that wants to jump in.

I use vgchartz for my most controversial opinions.    

my suspicion is that nobody is going to want to say too much about this. but we will see. haha.

I can't say much about how things are in the US, but where I live (Brazil) when someone says something homophobic they get called out regardless of color. I mean, that's what I can see from my personal experience.

Was there a question in there somewhere?

And what do you base your assumptions on?

In general I don't like to group people together and trow them in a bucket with a sticker on it. Doesn't matter if it's about colour gender or what not.

So I'm not a fan of this bucket LGTBQABC+++ or something. It's like a gay person automatically lives in the same world as a transgender. So if not a fan of supporting under age sex hormone therapy, would somehow be also meaning having something against gay people because it's all LGBTQ issues. I find this nonsense.

About the topic at hand. I choose to not behave like a pastor waving fingers on other peoples culture and feel morally superior. Africa is a different continent. A huge one at that with plenty of different cultures within. There might be places that are homophobic, there might be places that are not. It's tricky to generalize when the place is so freaking huge.

I also don't understand what this 'black culture' is supposed to be. Does an Aboriginal have the same culture as a Zulu? Just because they both have dark skin?

Africa is notoriously homophobic because of their christianity/islamic influence, and also because 3rd world areas seem to be worse with this because they rely more on manual labor.  This manual labor stuff brings about a valuation of mental strength more than say Americans need, and so that's why they are worse over there.  I think that black people have taken these attitudes to a degree from their african descendants and thus we have their intolerance.  But nobody will say anything about it because of black people's historical legacy of oppression.   

1. No

2.  From history, anthropology, and my observations.   If you'd like a more specific answer, then give a me a more specific question.  Fair, no?

Okay

Says who?
