I am sick of gays and lesbians acting like they are persecuted.

[LoZoccolo]

If you are gay or lesbian and white, you have no absolutely no right to act like you are persecuted, because African Americans are more persecuted than you are.

1. yes because of course christians are REALLY persecuted

in the usa.


just like hindus in india.

or muslims in saudi arabia

[LoZoccolo]

3. Who said anything about Christians?

What are you talking about? Is this something from another thread?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. sorry if i was wrong...but was this not in response to all the

christian persecutions/not persecution threads?

if it wasnt i am sorry

[LoZoccolo]

11. Kind of, yeah.

But I think I make a point.

I'm a Sicilian American. Proud of it too - my nickname is in Italian. I would never pretend that I face the kind of persecution that African Americans do in this country, but there are still some unfair things I face. One of them is as much as I get involved in politics, I will probably never as long as I live be able to run for public office due to peoples' fears about organized crime. Like I said, this isn't the worst, but it's still unfair. And I think people have a right to complain about anything unfair that happens to them no matter how much or little.

16. if its true...sure you can

but honestly i do not believe christians in anyway are routinely and systematically persecuted in this country...thats my objection...

2. Oops. I saw the note at the end (microprint eludes me... :-) ).

Sorry for any unintentional hostility...

Will respond to the topic later. :-)

[LoZoccolo]

4. Ha ha!

You know I love you, man. :hug:

[Deja Q]

5. Likewise!

:hug: Definitely no hard feelings from me! (Well, if there was one, it'd only mean I'd be horny, but we all know DU frowns on sex threads, hehehehehe!)

[Kikosexy2]

7. Whoa....

Nelly!! I'm Latino and gay but let's not forget that no matter what color you are--and being gay--we're all subjected to persecution whether it's displayed in a big way or done subtlely. Maybe some done more to one racial group than others but still we gays get shitted on every now and then. So don't play the race card baby. Being gay isn't easy to begin with--especially when we're surrounded by those "moral values" voters who supported the evil Chimpo and his regime. Whatever got you ticked baby--calm down now--and here's a Christmas hug and smooches for you. We've got to stand together luv. Peace baby!

8. No. In Ohio, 20% of African-Americans voted for Bush due to gay marriage

When African-American ministers stop denouncing gay rights and marriage, then we will all be in the same boat. I am sick and tired of clergy persons of any denomination or race favoring denying rights to people because of their sexual orientation.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. on the flip side

dont african americans have a right to their bigotry...


i am not really sure if i am being serious or not!

[JohnKleeb]

12. 20%?! thats higher than the nat'l average

[David Dunham]

17. Correct. The OH GOP used anti-gay marriage ban to win 20% of black vote

The Republicans paid for ads by African-Americans in OH denouncing the anti-gay marriage ban. These ads ran on radio stations that had a predominantly African-American audience. Some African-American ministers also encouraged their congregations to vote anti-gay -- i.e., anti-gay marriage and anti-Democrat. Guess what? It worked. Exit polls show that 20% of African-Americans in Ohio voted for Bush.

[JohnKleeb]

18. thats a big shame

[noiretextatique]

21. exit polls...the same ones that showed kerry winning the election?

:eyes:

[noiretextatique]

22. sorry...this is bull

no way in hell bush got a 10% increase in AA votes (compared to the national average) on this issue. see the black commentator.com for an explanation of why this lie (and others) keep floating around. it's a cover for the theft, imho.

[David Dunham]

23. I recall that OH exit polls clearly had the 20% figure.

[sonicx]

26. i just looked. it's 16%

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2004/pages/results/states/OH/P/00/epolls.0.html

[noiretextatique]

27. right and 11% nationally...sorry i don't buy it

but it is a great way to convince people that bush actually won more support on this issue than he did.

[robbedvoter]

33. Yeah, why the blacks in Ohio so much more anti-gay than the blacks

in the rest of the country? Could it be....Diebold?

[JohnKleeb]

24. The highest Bush read got among the black vote I read in 2000

was 15% in Missouri, and he only got like 3% in Mississiphi.

[noiretextatique]

28. i have no doubt there are more conservative black people in conservative

parts of the country...stand to reason. i do take issue with the oft-repeated notion that black people are MORE homophobic than white people, for example. there is no way those 11 amendments could have passed without the support of white voters.

[JohnKleeb]

31. Well certainly

Those amendements would have passed because a majority of white voters supported them.

[sonicx]

15. It's odd. blacks are often very conservative, but still vote Democratic

that's how my mom is. My dad votes Republican, tho (he's a FOX/Rush bot)

[JohnKleeb]

20. Yeah Ive heard that, thats interesting

My grandparents and their family members are more cultural conservatives but are more economically progressive.

[noiretextatique]

19. where did you get those nunbers?

i don't believe them for a second...rw propaganda, if you ask me.

[Duncan Grant]

9. Why are you yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre?!

:spank: You're so bad! :evilgrin:

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. Where's "Hide Thread" when you need it?

If you ask me, this should be the LAST feature to go.

[Placebo]

25. But this thread is a joke.

[jonnyblitz]

36. don't be so sure. n/t

[LoZoccolo]

37. Yes, you cannot be sure...

...even though it says this at the bottom:

14. ha ha...

Not African America Christians.

[trumad]

29. Was this posted on edit?

NOTE: This entire post is sarcastic except for this warning. Please handle irony responsibly.

[LoZoccolo]

30. Not entirely.

I changed "this sentence" to "this warning" because I noticed there were indeed not one, but two sentences in the warning.

[trumad]

34. Then my bad...

I misread... I need my glasses...

tru

[Az]

32. I have a friend

that is a lesbian atheist african american. Can she complain?

[Lex]

35. The sarcasm is funny, except for when I think of Matthew Shepard

or Brandon Teena.
