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!

[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

@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.

@DragonBlack1 Tell it!

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 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.

[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.

good on her

@Youngeldest

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

@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.

[TheThordir]

@mykole84

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

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.
