Soapbox moment... I find it so sad that the black community is so self-hating. For the last time you can't claim #BlackLivesMatter but then exclude BLACK women & BLACK members of the LGBTQ community. It makes no sense that as a whole, we as a people are still so misogynistic and homophobic. You can't love one and hate the other. It is so disheartening to know that this hate runs so deep that our people have become comfortable with ignoring the issues being faced by Black women and the Black LGBTQ community. It's even worse that this hate has caused members of both of these groups to promote the oppression of their own... living in fear, ridiculing others for living in their truth, criticizing those who decide to live outside of "the box", not supporting the work done by members of the very same community that they themselves belong to. It's crazy to me that we are not focusing on the bigger picture at hand, but I guess that is kind of hard to do when certain members of the Black community are fighting for privilege instead of equality. Be ashamed. Yes, I said that.
