I've read many topics in this forum and others from blacks wondering why do they seem to be at the lowest echelon, barely on that sadly enough, of the gay community. Why they are so alienated within the community, why cant one view them as simply a human being with a big heart and a lot to put forward and to offer into a positive relationship therefore becoming a partner. Why some dont want anything to do with them not even on a friendship level. Why they are casted as unattractive, unworthy and undesirable. Ive spoken with many gay black men and some women whose experiences in the community and the gay lifestyle as a whole are similar, that being of a sense of never ending loneliness, a sense of hopelessness one claiming when hanging out in a group of nonblack friends, the nonblacks are constantly being acknowledged by others, have frequent dates, relationships and what not but none of that coming their way, at the very least those encounters for them rarely occurs but often they are made to feeling invisible, others acknowledging them only when they have a fetish towards them, "the big black dick" using them as temporary toys and quickly and out of the blue moving on to the next toy, or momentary sexual interests, I here often black gay individuals who frequent social sites and those set up for dating get fewer to no responses from others and commonly seeing on nonblacks and even some other blacks profile pages for that matter, "no blacks", "not into blacks, just a preference". Basically why are they outcasted from the community only because they were born black.
In the gay community particularly in america, a friend tried to put into perspective that in the united states as a whole, blacks are viewed as socially unacceptable, being looked down on as less then human, have the worst schools, subpar health care systems, mistreated often by police, so many negatives, they are born into a society in which really they dont have a chance. People learn here from an early age, you dont mingle with or mix with blacks. Blacks arent really included or truly welcomed in many venues of lifestyles or organizations here. But I will contradict what my friend has said here for a second, in the straight world, blacks dont really seem to have a huge problem in finding dates or relationships with others. It is a huge issue and a set standard in the gay community. Why is that?? I believe that it goes deeper then learned values from family and society as a whole. It seems to be deeply ingrained even seemingly biologically so in many gay men to look upon their fellow african or black men as and I'm going to be vivid here, repulsive, undesirable, unworthy for anything. What draws me to that conclusion is notice you here alot of nonblack men say to blacks who approach them on the prospects of a relationship, "you are a good guy and all but i dont do blacks" , " I'm not attracted to black men", another common saying that really leads me to wonder on the biological part is ," I cant get myself to do it", as far as even considering a black as a partner. Hmmm, I cant get myself to do it. Is it indeed a biological aspect in many gays to outcast blacks just like biologically they have an undesire for women as a sex or relationship partner. Could they have truly been "born that way". The level of racism and the negative outlooks towards blacks particularly are too wide spread, automatic and way too prevalent to not make one wonder. These scenes arent isolated incidences by no means, happening here or there, this behavior is a set standard. You can have a well built handsome, good head on his shoulders, good hearted black man in a group with a so so looking white or latin dude. Who are most guys going to go for, the white or the latin dude many times over the black one. No matter how handsome you are as black, you dont stand a high chance. Now at 4 in the morning when one is feeling particularly horny, have some drinks in them, they may go for the black guy, but once the sun rises, that black dude has to disappear and from that point quickly turned on and ignored and forgotten about while on the other hand things with the white or latin dude have a more realistic potential of carrying on and even evolving into a relationship.
Its evident that many blacks really dont have a realistic chance of really enjoying their lives and feeling apart of the gay community and the outlook of the future seems very grim for any changes. One thing some friends pointed out and I know I mentioned this earlier that on some social sites on guy's profiles, the "no blacks" thing is starting to disappear, its concluded by some that "ok", its a little rude to place that in our ads so does this mean a change is somewhat occuring, not even quite, the new standard is, if a black responds, just ignore them. Gay media, which plays a part of potentially shaping ones mind by shining white, latin and asian guys across publications and internet sites, some for example adam4adam are featuring blacks in ads and what not, but that does very little to nothing to shape nonblacks opinions. I'am not saying for one minute, things are not completely impossible, there are nonblacks out there that would give you a chance but positive experiences and connections are far and few between.
Solutions, its easy to say that blacks should start looking upon each for happiness in this lifestyle, but many have been caught up with the same twisted logic that blacks are unacceptable which is mind boggling as hell because they themselves are black, again is it truly biological even though its twisted that they themselves are part of the race being outcasted. However when over 90% of others dont want you and one is constantly hearing themselves casted in negative ways, unless your a strong willed individual, its hard to truly see any value on one's self or others like them which should be even more of a reason to pull together, but it doesn't happen. Its sad to see some black guys hanging around white or other nonblack guys truly feeling like they are apart of the group with the full benefits and opportunities the others have, now I'm not saying completely these individuals may not truly be their friends, but although laughs and drinks are shared amongst one another, there definitely is a wall there that wont and cant be crossed or broken, its a wall harder then any natural element on earth, higher than the highest mountain on earth. That wall is the black skin of the individual in the group. What lies on the other side of that wall are feelings, one's heart and a positive potential to make one happy, basically a genuine worthy and good individual. But unfortunately many wont attempt to break or climb that wall because what lies one the other side doesn't and could never really matter. As of now, that wall still stands high and strong and unfortunately realistically, that wall will continue to stand.
