'Equality' Is Becoming A Dirty Word

When we in the African American TBLG community hear the word 'equality', it is starting to get the same connotation in our minds when we hear the word 'queer'. It conjures up in our minds 'just like you' melanin free images about well to do gay people pushed to the media and an agenda focused on 'all marriage all the time'.
  .
As far as many of us in the African descended TBLG community are concerned, 'equality' is beginning to mean that you vanilla GL peeps want to sip your appletinis and be equal to the conservative people who oppress you.  We see 'equality' as you fighting for the white privilege you lost when you came out as gay,.lesbian or trans and wanting the 'special right' to discriminate against others.

You may be fuming at what Moni just wrote, but you peeps constantly give me and other non-white TBLG peeps Mount Everest sized piles of evidence that contribute to that viewpoint.

The radical lesbian powered Brennan -Hungerford paper submitted to the UN Entity for Gender Equity and the Empowerment of Women seeking to deny transwomen human rights coverage, the racism aimed at African Americans inside the community combined with senior leadership ranks in professional gay orgs that are whiter than the Republican party ranks do nothing to dispel that perception.  . 

It's also a mystery to African descended POC's why you spend disproportionately far more time railing about, denigrating and disrespecting the African American president that's trying to get your political agenda adopted and ensconced into law than the predominately white Republican Party that spends every waking moment disrespecting you and opposing your civil rights?

Hey, don't get mad because I'm not passing out white chocolate candy bars to candy coat this truth tellin' session.  This is a sound the alarm reality check post.

The 'Equality' brand is in serious danger of becoming a dirty word like 'queer' already is to much of the African descended trans and SGL community.      

If that's not the impression you wish to give when you say the word 'equality', then to paraphrase and add to Parliament-Funkadelic's original words, if you don't like the effects, don't produce the cause that's driving the perception in chocolate TBLG world in the first place.
