thoughts & white supremacists?
 

much respect...

i posted this thread in another forum on greekchat and i thought that possibly this might also be a good place to post as well.

the other day i was watching an America Undercover on HBO entitled "Army of God" (something like that) it talked about this radical group of people who believe in "killing abortion doctors in an effort to save the babies"...in essence killing to preserve life...interesting oxymoron. in any case, one of the "heroes" of this group is a man who is also loved by white supremacists. i belive his name is phillip randolph *but don't quote me* he is the man who is accused of bombing abortion clinics as well as a gay bar and at the 1996 atlanta Olympics.

my question is...

i have seen many people on here give very negative, hateful, sickening responses in references to homosexuals. the "feeling" that is injected into some peoples words have been almost murderous. as we know words may often wound deeper than any bullet. in any case, does it ever cross ones mind when they write such hate speech as a black person against a homosexual. that these are the exact words, many times that a white supremacist would say?

understand that of course you are welcomed by white supremacists to abuse kill or maime homosexuals...but when they are all gone...you will be next.

i say this because its quite fascinating how an oppressed group will oppress another group.

but its not just homosexuals that we mimic the rhetoric of white supremacists when oppressing. we have verbal abuses for almost every other ethnic group, religious group, and one another. think about it...theres no need for white supremacists to call us niggers...we do it to ourselves.

i know many of you might use the bible to justify your hatred of homosexuals. and i can point you to some sites where white supremacists use the bible to show why we as black people and people of color are meant to be slaves or worse...dead.

i am posting this as an intellectual conversation...lets think about this topic and find some reasons why we continue the oppression of other groups.

peace,

Lastpoet, I really, really feel what you're saying. In my opinion, NO group has a right to oppress, degrade, threaten, etc. another group. My point is this: According to MY beliefs, I do not agree with homosexuality, but I don't HATE any homosexuals. I don't agree with bigotry (from ANY color or race), but I don't HATE people who practice it. I don't agree with abortions, but I don't HATE people for having them, performing them, or supporting them. Yes, everyone has a right to their opinions (that's what makes each and every one of us unique http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif ), but there is a way that one's opinion can be expressed without getting into outstanding conflict. What works for you or someone else may not work for me. It's just that simple. In a nutshell, I feel that issues such as homosexuality, abortions, racism, bigotry, and hatred is a PERSONAL THING. And it is something that would be between that person and his/her god.
