Homophobia More Accepted Than Racism

Did that catch your attention? Well as a young gay black man, I have to talk about this.




Racism is alive and “well,” but in some aspects…really think about how subtle it may be at times. Because many, try to hide it. Racism has happened, IS happening, WILL continue to happen, but many racist are not upfront with it.

As more people denounce racism, plenty of racist know that if [openly] racist, it could cause backlash and not just from blacks, but from their fellow Caucasians. Whilst homophobia is still greatly accepted. You say something homophobic and a great number of people will rally behind, but because society has changed, if said person was to say something racist many would fear publicly agreeing with those racist views. It is a new day and they actually fear the consequences of their racism.

People AREN'T as scared as letting their homophobia show as people will let their racism show.

You can see it happening in the media multiple times. How many times have you heard about somebody saying some racist shit and they ass got EXPOSED. There is NO need to expose those homophobes because they’re open about their distaste for LGBT.

Most people in this day and age are conscious that racism is fucked up. While more are openly able to agree in unison that gays are “abomination.”

Racist are more likely [not saying All] to be subtle, lowkey and closeted. People will PROUDLY say they are against gay marriage or any kind of gay rights and shit.

But this also brings up the point that just because they don’t EXPRESS it, don’t mean that they aren't against you.
