CNN Official Interview: Wanda Sykes: Harder being gay than black

[OnyxianHeart]

Wanda Sykes, of all of the silly things I've seen you do and perform, my respect has never been greater for you. Power forward, beautiful. You speak a powerful word, unpopular though it may be.

[bluegrassreb1]

comparing being black against gays is rediculous!!!

Blacks are people! Just a differant color, and totally equal to any other race. But gay? that is wrong according to the BIBLE. so if you want to be a JUDGE, go ahead and say that gays are ok. but never forget what the REAL JUDGE has already said about this matter! if u got a problem with it , talk to God about it.

[StarcallerSpencer]

@bluegrassreb1 I'm both gay and black and comparing them are not ridiculous. Both are reasons I get discriminated against on a regular basis from the rest of my life.So with all DUE respect fuck you and your bible. Your bible still doesn't tell you what it's like being on the receiving end of your bullshit and bullshit it is. You don't know the first thing about what your talking about. I suggest you go take an epistemology course. Stop condemning gays cause you already condemned yourself.

[TheMabes69]

good on her

[DunklenHerzen]

Bunch of idiotic comments on here but ignorance is taught. Please educate yourself. Change for the better of society.

[Letloose15]

I love how straight people think they know all about gay rights and whether the LGBT community deserves them or not.

[Youngeldest]

Wanda sykes is ignorant. She obviously wants to be white. She's a sell out ! Im Gonna call her an AUNTIE TOMasina... lmao..Like an UNCLE TOM for those of you whom didn't understand the jk xD.

[TheThordir]

@Youngeldest

Good for you, keep justifying the racist, stereotypical view that African-Americans are ignorant.

[Youngeldest]

@TheThordir I wont even bother going in depth with you. Clearly your an internet tough guy, you feel better about yourself by putting others down so i wont give you the satisfaction that your life is lacking. Have a great day and life..... And stop harrasing others for having different views and opinions than you.

[screwface1011]

GIT THE FUCK OUTTA HERE......if you keep you mouth closed no one will know your gay but you can't hide your skin color. Wanda Dykes is a coon.

[Waluigi101]

@screwface1011 And you end up living a lie, hearing people around you spew homophobia consistently. Fucking twat.

[3dtheoutlaw]

IM BLACK, GAY AND MUSLIM-----CHECK OUT MY VIDEO CALLED --WORLD PEACE

[mykole84]

this is bs. blacks got it worse especially black males who have the worse indicators of all americans on nearly everything from being locked up, harrassed, higher death rate, less healthcare, less positive media publicity. what happen is blacks r no longer called ni&&ers but we are still b treated like one. i will say they should be given the right to marry but marriage laws should be change especially divorce laws which are too sexist against males.

[MrCogicson1]

@mykole84 Listen to what she said...she's equating homosexuality with identity or apart of who you are not simply what is done. She said they don't stop me from being black but they are as it relates to being gay. That's her perspective..ain't nothing to really dispute. I understand her perspective and i feel her.

[Waluigi101]

@mykole84 Higher death rates, jailing, etc. is a result of more crimes being committed AS A RESULT of economic status and environments creating such situations, so that is more a reflection on your social standing(a higher class black person won't have comparable records). Healthcare is not differentiated, that's an ass pull. :/ And you think that blacks are more harassed and given a more negative media view than gays? Please look at the shit that's still being released on gays by the news.

[TheThordir]

@mykole84

Meanwhile, lgbt people have been discriminated for two thousand years because of the rise of Christianity and Islam, the best examples of how religion can be a kanker for this species.

[mykole84]

religion dont discriminate against gays, people do. people used christianity and islam to enslave blacks, u cant blame that on religion, its idiots using it. dont blame the relgion, blame the person. its like saying all black men are bad because a black man is bad. the one man who happen to be black is bad but not because he is black but because he is bad. u get my point.

[TheThordir]

@mykole84

Tell that to the millions killed because of this superstitious nonsense.

[TheThordir]

@mykole84

And religion is not race. You make the same stupid mistake some PC people do when they think that being concerned with the well-being of the country when hordes of theocratic Muslims want to impose sharia is racism.

[Jellisist]

Look, you can see her strings @ 1:38.



[sosterday123]

Anyone who dislikes this is straight and hasnt looked at the history of this.

1st she is black and grew up in the Civil Rights aria in the 60s & 70s

2nd she is gay a movent that is still going on to this day.

[Jellisist]

@sosterday123 I dont know if I would call this a gay movement, more a gay imposition. The gay minority rule the straight majority in Amerikkka...Can we say Pop. control?

[PaulaAbdulRoxxxx6]

where can i find all of this?

[MrMustang13]

this is stupid. keep it in your own homes!

[FixThisSchool]

@MrMustang13 Then stop making laws intruding into ours you hypocritical fuck.

[MrMustang13]

@FixThisSchool that doesnt make sense you oversensative bitch

[gettinmonee]

awful

[DragonBlack1]

I love seeing all the comments from str8 people on this issue. she's gay AND black (just like me). We've lived both lives, we've felt discrimination on both issues. So if you haven't dealt with one or both, STFU!

[OnyxianHeart]

@DragonBlack1 Tell it!

[enriquemartineziii2]

fail



[live4pce]

im a black lesbian i agree with wanda. i cant get married as a lesbian, but if i were str8 i could. being black today is much easier than it was in times past obviously. not to say that black people dont still struggle, but as a black gay person i cant even go to my own "black church" without being hated on. black people can go to court and fight if they feel they are being discriminated against because of race, but as a gay person its not the same. you are not equal.

[2JOHNNYT]

Wanda U mean 2 say it's even harder being, BLACK, GAY, &....FUGLY!

[Duobitdezo]

Wanda is a fucking moron! She's doing like the GOP, saying something stupid then backpeddeling. KKK spent millions to stop us from enjoying being black she needs to re-educate herself.

[DragonBlack1]

@Duobitdezo the KKK is a terrorist organization. I don't think she was including them. She's referring to legitimate groups with actual political influence. I don't think she articulated it very well though.

[spikedardens]

@Duobitdezo if you listened, she said "at this point in time." No one takes KKK seriously TODAY.

[Mr123Gibson]

@Duobitdezo  SHE SAID IN THE PRESENT

[HeroinSammich]

@Duobitdezo She said that she feels it's harder to be a homosexual NOW in THIS MOMENT, she did not say that she felt it's equal to Black suffrage in history.

[keemysoodreamy23]

I just know that it's harder for me to look at that nose~

[InuzukaCds]

CNN is such a joke!

[Coffeeisnecessary]

@InuzukaCds I know! A BBC newsanchor, and they put a wig on Don Lemon!

[live4pce]

@InuzukaCds yet you took the time to click and watch and even better....left a comment lol

[muwuhu]

She has a point though. We're not about to have a gay president, but we do have a black president.

[ForcedAgenda]

...by the way, great news coverage of a very important topic. It might save us all from the the global economic collapse, real estate collapse, food shortages, government tyranny and gas prices while also providing jobs in America. Good job CNN.

[spikedardens]

@ForcedAgenda Its only an important topic because there bigots. If it weren't for them, you're right, this would be a non-issue.

[ForcedAgenda]

No if she was only a gay, black woman who's also a Muslim terrorist, she'd be the most feared person in the world

[3dtheoutlaw]

@ForcedAgenda ..................why would somebody be scared of a gay black muslim-------check out my video--WORLD PEACE

[imask8r]

just plain dumb.
