I wouldn't have believed this one if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. My jaw is still stuck to the keyboard.
The Abe Lincoln Black Republican Caucus, a group of "young Black gay, bisexual and 'down lo' males" has been protesting across the nation against gay marriage.
"It is an international disgrace and an affront to every Black man, woman and child in the United States for the Massachusetts' Supreme Court to start marriage for gays on the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education Decision," stated Don Sneed, the political mentor for the ALBRC and a member of the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS (Bush Appointee). "I am sick and tired of seeing the white gay rights movement continue to hijack the Black civil rights movement and make these situations one and the same," stated Anthony Falls, Chairman of the ALBRC and recently elected the first Black openly gay Republican Precinct Chairman in Texas.The group protested not only gay marriage, but what they called "unbridled racism" among white gays.
On last Saturday, at a huge rally held in the Oak Lawn area in support of Marriage for Gays and against the constitutional amendment for defense of marriage, the ALBRC staged a highly vocal and visible counter protest and demonstration against what it considers 30 years of unchecked and unbridled racism by the White gay community against Black gays and lesbians. The protest march was again taken through the heart of the Oak Lawn community to the astonishment and amazement of the local gay patrons and shopkeepers. The protesters were met with some racial slurs and threats.Seems like everyone is considering leaving the liberal plantation."We are not afraid of the white gay economic and political behemoth that continues to treat us like third class citizens and trash. It is the epitome of hypocrisy for White gays and lesbians to base their claims for rights to marry upon prejudice, discrimination and civil rights violations, when they are prejudiced, discriminatory and disrespectful of Black gay's and lesbian's human rights each and every day," stated Mr. Sneed. "The White gay community is one of America's last strongholds for White Supremacy. We will begin the dismantling of that stronghold today in downtown Dallas," stated Willie Beard, an ALBRC member.
I had no clue that such an organization existed in the black gay community. I am certainly familiar with white gay members of the GOP, and by extension groups like the Log Cabin Republicans, but this completely surprises me.
All I can say is ....
You go guys!!!!
gals?
it is about time.
Since we are the 4th to offer gay "marriage" they need to look at the other 3 disaisters, first!
My big question is:
Does this go on the "Just DAMN! " list, or the "Black Conservative" list?
Yes.
I can respect those who remain "in the closet." I can respect them even more if they admit it is wrong, even as they do it anyway. Anything else is out of the question.
Black Gay Republican?....Bwahahahahahahaha
Are there any subgroups like Black Gay Republicans with freckles or limps or left handed wood workers who watch birds and scuba dive?
One nice thing it should take much time to tally the vote in this Org
Black gay Republicans against gay marriage!!!
This is so awesome.
And you what? They have a really good point to make, and they should be heard.
You get no argument from me on that; I'm just flabbergasted that they exist!
my first reaction to this is to recall the bumper sticker:
NUKE A GAY WHALE FOR JESUS
That is an outrage. This country is a mess.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent miscellaneous ping list.
You have to understand Ginsburgs past, blacks sure do.
I am sick of hearing about this topic. Everyone is outraged; everyone is being discriminated against; straight people are evil; gay folk are virtuous. Now white gays are creeps and black gays are cool? Everything is an outrage.
What's next? Cats sleeping with dogs?
Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff.
Venkman: Exactly.
Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies. Rivers and seas boiling.
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness. Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave.
Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
"...when they are prejudiced, discriminatory and disrespectful of Black gay's and lesbian's human rights each and every day," stated Mr. Sneed."
Oh, and I thought the epitome of hypocrisy is when someone blames an entire group of people for something when he or she has probably not even met everyone in that group.
I wonder if the gay community -- whatever color -- knows how difficult it is for us straight, hard-working, folk to put up with their excuses for not doing anything with their lives and jobs, and allowing us to take up their slack. I'm sure that's a conspiracy too from us.
I'm utterly confused by this development.
Someone actually likes the designated hitter...AND artifical turf?!?!?!
I'm shocked. Shocked! Freaking shocked!
Hey, good one! Thanks!
Er,no, I mean I outraged!
Excellent! The perfect foil. But the media will no doubt "forget" about their abhorrence for race discrimination just long enough to push the gay agenda through.
Black gay victimology.. Ugh.. Ugh ..Ugh.. at least the est. 3 guys in this group are consistent,.
