SKANK 14,288 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 24 minutes ago, Matangi said: Also this ridiculously racist tweet... I believe Boy George is refencing a New York Times article which lays out why Pete is having trouble courting African American voters, specifically in South Carolina. Homophobia, most certainly, being one major reason. Joe Darby, a pastor and Charleston-area NAACP leader, said, “It’s a heavy lift in the black church. Just as nobody who is racist likes to say, ‘I’m a racist,’ nobody who is homophobic in the black community likes to say, ‘I’m homophobic.’” Here is the the story, in case you want to have something more nuanced then “racist” to scream. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2019/10/27/us/politics/pete-buttigieg-south-carolina.amp.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marilyn MonHoe 9,937 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 18 minutes ago, derpmonster said: He's stereotyping, saying that black voters somehow have an issue with Pete Buttigieg being gay presumably because he has low support among black voters? Like, it could be any reason. The reason could be he handled the firing of a black officer in his city very poorly But boy george tried to change the narrative to "blacks are homophobic, that's why they don't like pete" What Boy George doesn’t know is that older white people also have a problem with gay people, it’s not just older black people. Saying that black people are homophobic is an old racist trope that ignores the history of black activism to ensure LGBT equality in America including the passing of gay marriage. There was a study done in 2017 by the Public Religion Research Institute that showed that black Americans, out of any other race, perceived LGBT discrimination. Black Americans are more likely than any other racial or ethnic group to perceive discrimination against gay, lesbian or transgender people. Nearly three-quarters of black Americans say gay and lesbian (73%) and transgender people (72%) face a lot of discrimination; roughly two-thirds of Hispanics say gay and lesbian (66%) and transgender individuals (67%) encounter discrimination; more than six in ten mixed-race Americans believe gay and lesbian (61%) and transgender people (67%) face discrimination; and a majority of white Americans perceive significant discrimination against gay and lesbian (54%) and transgender people (59%). Notably, fewer than half (49%) of Asian-Pacific Islander (API) Americans believe gay and lesbian people face a great deal of bias, while 55% of API Americans say the same of transgender people. https://www.prri.org/research/americans-views-discrimination-immigrants-blacks-lgbt-sex-marriage-immigration-reform/ Sorry Derpmonster for the long rant . Obviously it wasn’t directed at you, just those who believe in that inherently racist rhetoric that black people such as myself have to deal with.

Bolkins 4,125 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 He’s had it in for Gaga for years. I don’t know where it’s come from as they’re kinda cut from the same cloth, but as far as I’m aware I don’t think Gaga has ever blown smoke up his arse and maybe that’s why Not the bore worms!

Hades 27,980 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 22 minutes ago, Dutch said: He has been a hater for so long. He's probably friends with Perez or a Madonna stan. Don't give the old closed minded gay the attention he so deeply desires to. ''Boy George believes Madonna still “hates” him after they started feuding back in the 1980s.'' Yeah i don't think so. He accused Madonna of being part of a homophobic relegion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i don't think so. He accused Madonna of being part of a homophobic relegion. NNN, I thought to myself, he either stans Madonna or he has a feud with ha... I guess that second thought was the right one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glamourpuss 29,062 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 First of all, it's stupid humour. It's not well thought out and shows he lacks originality. Secondly, it's jealousy that causes people to behave this way. Thirdly, karma karma karma chameleon. (It's gonna come back to bite him in the ass).
