Didn't mean to offend you if YOU yourself are gay, or "emo" as you might say
I read all your comments and I have a question: would you have a problem with a rapper who who carried himself like a Black Thought or someone, made good music, but was openly gay? Is that a better role modal than someone like Kanye who is not gay but is feminine?
That's a good question champ. Truth be told I would have somewhat of an issue with both, but I would have more of an issue with a guy like Kanye given your example of him being feminine and not gay. Reason being a guy like Kanye has more of an influence on the youth, and to me we have too many young dudes acting like punks, with the feminine behavior and it's disturbing to say the least. Even if they declare themselves not to be gay, they look and sound the part to be flaming which is what I take issue with. Too many young black dudes are getting their "Men on Film" from In Living Color on these days. When I say young dudes I'm referring to 21 and younger.
For the other example you provided, Black Thought is a bit older and doesn't have the same effect on black youth like Kanye does. If a guy like Black Thought or someone his age is gay they most likely are more comfortable or more assured that they are gay versus a young guy that's maybe 16 or so that's displaying feminine behavior or thinks of himself to be gay as they are discovering themselves as a person.
Whether folks want to admit or not this is a major issue in the black community, be it either feminine behavior among men or gays. Reason being is this is the future head of the black family/household and they are disappearing day by day. I know other races may not see it as such or may not have this same issue but speaking as a black man I find this to be something that is destroying the black family. We either have blacks males going to jail or even route to being incarcerated, dead, or gay........and this is all before the age of 21. Does anybody else find that alarming besides myself?? We see the numbers and we see the results. Also, for any black females that are reading this post you might want to chime in as well because as alot of black females say when they get older as they are trying to find a black man to settle down with they can't seem to find any. That's most likely do to them being in jail or on their way, dead, or gay as I stated earlier.
