Rev. Sekou to Black Clergy: 'Don't Pimp This'

[javacoder411]

I didn't know that a preacher was allowed to say the word "fucking".

Hello,

My name is Anthony Coleman and I am 18 years old. I really want to become a preacher and start my own church. I was watching your video when you were preaching on the streets and I was wondering if you did that often? and if you did, I was wondering if I could join you in spreading the Good News? God bless you.

You think Im a Bigot because I dont believe you should discriminate? Gays come in EVERY color. We are the most diverse minority. Being gay is not a "white" male thing. Black men are spreading AIDS at an alarming rate...because people like you dont think gays are black. Its called "down low"! The thing with gays...we really dont see color because there are black gays, red gays, yellow gays, and purple gays...we come in all colors, all shapes, all sized, and all degrees of gayness.

You've taken everything I've said out of context. I said quit blaming black people for these problems, because this is not a race argument. I see you got real jumpy when I mentioned racism in the gay community among white male gays. I know gays come in all colors, silly ass and so does bigotry and discrimination! That was my point so stop placing the blame on black people, when that's not the problem!

My brother and cousin are black gay males, so don't preach that bullshit to me.

AIDS is rampant in the gay community period, not just black men doing it. You are a racist and you've made it obvious. And because you are just that you have no reason to point the finger at others for being prejudice when you are clearly cut from the same mold.

If you're so colorblind, you wouldn't need to use race or color to justify your perspective.

I am not blaming black people. I drew a conclusion that black people should recognize discrimination, themselves having been discriminated against also often having "scripture" used to justify it. I can also tell you I have had a black and a hispanic BF before I settled down. I have seen first hand discimination on race too. I am saying ALL of it is bad! But why do many feel more comfortable with violence than same sex couples?

[Sepia1789]

Most of what you said makes a lot more sense than before, however,  why should it be black people, out of all the people of color in this country who are discriminated against, be the one obligated to support homosexuals? Is the discrimination you face as a homosexual male the problem of black people or close minded people in general?

Asians, Natives, and Latinos know what it's like to be discriminated against, but why did you urn this into a race issue? Gay is not a race issue.

[Sepia1789]

The fact that anyone suffers discrimination comes from the same frame of mind which is superiority. The fact that you're gay and I'm a straight multiracial female are two completely different subjects.

So, by your definition of me being racial minority I should walk hand and with homosexual rights, because I know discrimination based on my color? Do you realize how insulting and fallacious that sounds?

[Sepia1789]

If you want me and other people to see your point of view you can't hand me a Queen and tell me it's a Spade. If discrimination is horrible, regardless of who is tossing it around, say it, but don't add something irrevelant to the argument to justify your point.

I can't say why people are comfortable using violence than same sex couples, except an intolerance of people who they think are "different." The fact that they feel that way about you and others is their problem not yours.

Homosexuality is a sin and must be addressed.

Gay marriage is wrong.

However adultery is a sin as well.

All the churches need to be cleaned up.

[neenerpuss]

The thing the black community needs to ask itself...Is why are you more uncomfortable with 2 men holding hands than the girl with 4 baby daddies? Why are you more comfortable with warfare and gangs than 2 people loving and caring for each other?

MARRIAGE EQUALITY NOW!

You're generalizing an entire race to supplement your illogical comparisons. Why do you feel the need to single out black people, say what the problems are, but don't do anything about it? What are you doing to help the situation, respectively? Worry about the issues and problems of your own community before you stigmatize someone else's.

[neenerpuss]

My community is not standing in the way of your civil liberties. My community's biggest problem is hypocritical minorities who don't see the same abuse suffered by them...they chose to inflict on others.

[Sepia1789]

There's a fine line between offending and insulting a racial minority opposed to enlightening them. Saying what the black community needs to do isn't one of those things to get people understanding you.

The problem are peoples frame of minds, not their skin color or race. So don't even take it there with a race example. Enlighten people based on facts and not the same kind of discrimination you say others are perpetuating.

[neenerpuss]

So what you are saying discrimination against us is acceptable, but discrimination against you is not???

I think you are blind to the "frame of minds" that discriminate against you. Discimination is Discrimination...it knows no bounds!

MARRIAGE EQUALITY NOW!
