Dan Savage, Chill With Your Race Baiting [sic]
Dan Savage just won't give up pimping that thoroughly discredited meme about the Prop 8 loss in Ca-lee-forn-ia.
"I do know this, though: I'm done pretending that the handful of racist gay white men out there--and they're out there, and I think they're scum--are a bigger problem for African Americans, gay and straight, than the huge numbers of homophobic African Americans are for gay Americans, whatever their color.
"This will get my name scratched of the invite list of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, which is famous for its anti-racist-training seminars, but whatever. Finally, I'm searching for some exit poll data from California. I'll eat my shorts if gay and lesbian voters went for McCain at anything approaching the rate that black voters went for Prop 8."
Damn, just when we thought the drama over Prop 8 had subsided a bit, here comes Savage pouring gasoline on the smoldering embers..
___________________________________________________________________As I entitled this post, LET ME ADD SOME FAGGOTS* TO THE PILE, rather than let it extinguish or be extinguished by some do-gooder. It is about time to clearly clarify once and for all, and mayhaps even to do something about it, the apparent discrepancy between white racist homophobia and black racist homophobia, whether the racism be within or without the communities. (*check out the original definition of the word!)
