“He stated that he was a racist and he did like black people but did not like n——-s,”

In 2015, Turner was found of violating that law when he, upset with his black neighbors, hung an effigy of a black man from a tree on his front lawn—in clear view of the street.

No one’s saying he’s not entitled to his opinion. I think the purpose of the article is to highlight that this is the sort of backwards thinking and negativity that unnecessarily perpetuates homophobia in our community.

I never comment on the root. This is my actual first time doing this and I just wanted to say that you encapsulated exactly what I wanted to say about this tweet. Thank you for this. Thank you for encapsulating the toxicity I see around me and hell, as a Black man, in me. - Black and Queer

You are disqualified from admonishing anyone when your neck is full of scribble, your teeth are faux gold, your earrings are fake diamonds or, if real, mined by real strong black boys (gay and straight btw) and you publically question whether one should “pull out or not”.

The Bible should be discarded.

Some of us just want to watch NBA League Pass and eat chips.

Same. I remember years ago watching some documentary film called Tough Guise, and it basically spoke about boys being constantly told what being a man is and not showing emotions is problematic. I don’t know if it holds up, but I always remembered it leaving a mark in my mind:

The only thing I would disagree with from this wonderful piece is that toxic Black masculinity is “unemotional”. I would say masculinity, especially toxic Black masculinity is a state of being hyper emotional. We just are conditioned to bottle that emotion and pretend it doesn’t exist.

I am going to let you in on a little secret. Men like Nipsey are often the bossiest bottoms. All the recklessness, grills, tattoos, beards, pitbulls and Jordans are just a front. They bottom so hard, and so well.

I just can’t with this nigga Nipsey. He grew up in the same neighborhood as me, got fucked with relentlessly coming up because of how he looked but instead of pushing back against that bullshit, this dumb motherfucker reinforces it. Ermias, and his brother Sam, has needed his ass checked for years now. He’s just an…

Can we cancel all rappers with homophobic lyrics and statements? Not just the flops with unibrows and bad neck tattoos.

Far as I can tell, the gay agenda is a secret plan by gay people to turn everyone gay, and the way they will accomplish this is by...I dont know, asking that they get treated as fully fledged human beings with rights that shouldn’t be based on sexuality. Or something.

Look within. Until we do away with toxic black masculinity, we are always going to have problems in the black community.

The Gay Agenda:

Guys like Mr. Hussle always strike me as deeply closeted whenever they start the “gay agenda” nonsense.

Nipsey Hussle’s (lawl btw because that’s a pretty gay street name but I guess nobody told him as a joke) original post reads dangerously close to the kind of aggressively misspelled, vaguely-pro-God, randomly capitalized, angry posts I see in the Briebart’s comments section fervently explaining why the walking sac of…

Love the article. I, too, am sick of homophobia in our community. I have two daughters and a son. I teach all to love themselves and their neighbors, regardless of color, religion, sexual preference, income, etc. Treat others how you want to be treated. Live and let live. Now, I also teach them to stand up to others…
