Another Article suggest that White Gay Men are "natural allies" to Black Women

The Dear White Gays story continues with another response to the article.

This time it's from Steve Friess, who wants White Gay men and Black women to be allies.

He states:

Last week, that alliance came under attack by misguided University of Mississippi senior Sierra Mannie, who believed she was defending black women from cultural theft by launching an assault on white gays who, to her mind, behave too black. She zinged, “You are not a black woman, and you do not get to claim either blackness or womanhood. It is not yours. It is not for you.”

Others have already burned the piece down to its homo-ignorant nub, noting that Mannie writes cluelessly and obscenely about the nature and challenges of being gay. Her fire is fueled by some undeniably racist interactions, a supposed epidemic of white gay men who actually wish to be called by stereotypically black names and anoint themselves “strong black women.” It’s difficult to dispute that such behavior is weird and offensive, but it’s illogical to suggest all gay white men are “thieves” on that anecdotal basis alone.

While I appreciate his attempt on the matter, he could've kept this.

She wasn't claiming that all White men were thieves nor was she trying create a rift. Steve tries diss her work, however he wasn't too great in his response either. And real talk, why would we believe White gay men will be great allies for Black women, when they are not the best allies for Black gay men?

My Take on the "Dear White Gays" Article

Sierra Mannie struck a nerve with many White Gay men over her TIME.com post. If you haven't heard about it, here's the quick and dirty: She wants White Gay men to stop fooling around with Black women culture.

After reading it, engaging in convo/arguments, re-reading... I think I see where she's coming from. First, I will say that her approach was a bit 'young'. You can tell she's hasn't had a lot of experience on the topic, but it still doesn't negate the point.

There is an issue here. Some white gay men feel that they have to turn it up to talk to a Black woman. I've seen it a lot, especially during my former job. My boss is a Black woman and when White gays talk to her, they turn up the "Blackish Mannerisms." I guess in their minds, they are connecting with her, laying down the red carpet so to say.

And while they mean no harm at all, they have no idea that it's a bit insulting to Black women. I believe you shouldn't have to change your overall demeanor when you're meeting or talking to someone of another race or culture. Sure, there are some things to pay more attention to, but you don't have go down Stereotype Dr. to do so.

So, White Gay men, when you meet a sista don't put your hand on your hip, smack your lips, roll your head and serve your best Nene Leakes drag. Just talk to her like a normal everyday person. She may be fabulous, but she is also human.

My List of the Top Black Heroines in Comics

The number of Black Super Heroes are growing. New and exciting stories that include Black comic book characters are becoming the norm, but sadly, our Black super heroines are still few and far between.

So I wanted to take this time to recognize some of my favorite Black Super Women after the jump

Kenan Thompson Blames SNL Diversity Problem on Talent-less Black Comediennes

I am really bothered by Kenan Thompson's statement on why SNL doesn't have any Black women in their cast.

Wait, let me back up for a second and tell you the T. In a TV Guide interview, Kenan said this was the reason why SNL hasn't cast a Black comedienne:

"It's just a tough part of the business. Like in auditions, they just never find ones that are ready."

Really? Is that what we are saying now?
You can't tell me there are no funny Black comediennes. It's disheartening to hear him say this. It's almost like Kenan was put out there to sell some Foolishness Water to the masses. Well, I ain't buying and neither are other folks.

If they aren't finding anyone, then they should keep looking until they do. Hell, why don't Kenan jump in and help!

For 38 years, SNL has had 4 Black women in their cast... That's unacceptable! They can find funny women of color and they need to stop with the excuses and get their act together.

Yes, there are Black 'Final Girls' in Horror Films

Let's take a look after the jump, shall we?

13 Messages Tyler Perry's Movies send to Black Women

Tyler Perry's films are for the dogs and the messages in these films are the worst, especially to Black Women. I have created a list of reasons why his messages are no good, out of date and very insulting to all Black Women.

2. Dark skinned men are mean and full of rage.
3. Most of you will end up single, drug addicted and a mother of kids with 3 different daddies.
4. If you go to church you will always have a good man.
5. Or if you don't go or stray away from the church, you will be an adulterer.
6. Pray hard enough and a good man will come.
7. If you want to be successful, you have to be cold and bougie.
8. Every Black man has a criminal past.
9. You have 8 out of 10 chances of being in a relationship with the wrong person for years.
10. A Man will always save the day.
11. If you are a Dark skinned woman more bad things will happen to you.
12. You can never trust another Black woman.   
13. You have to be Christian if you want a good life.

Interesting Quote: Courtland Milloy

If ever there was a case for unvarnished sex education in public schools, the ongoing AIDS epidemic in black America ought to be it. Instead of education, what we get more often than not is homophobic nonsense from the pulpits of our black churches.
