Black People : Lee Daniels at an HIV center; "So many Black woman, I thought I walked into a welfare office"

[chuck]

Do we hope to just be liked, or risk being disliked, i. e., if and when we tell the truth TO THE MASSES about how backward are some of their personal choices, and them exibiting outright ignorance ad naseum about their health risk choices?

This isn't just about the stigma of coming out:

Is it about presuming/assuming it's a risk free one, without any consequences above and beyond that person's immediate partner...

One the downsides (pun not intended) of what is the popular misconception of personal 'freedom' in the states...

I. e., the phenomenon of some blacks being among the gblt subculture, is yet again ignorance is not 'bliss'...

Yes, some relief has come via improved drugs, but AIDS/HIV crisis continue to plague us all, and one black celeb's talk show segments hardly made the lifestyle acceptable to me!

“I walked into the Gay Men’s Health Crisis (GMHC) center and I expected to see a room full of gay men. Well, there are nothing but women there. And the reason why women are there–black women with kids–I thought I had walked into the welfare office. They service black women with AIDS. Why? Because black men can’t come out. Why? Because you simply can’t do it.”

Beware cautious etc., i. e., or you're be accused to typecasting too, A. C.

And what do our black health providers etc. propose to do about this crap?!?

We can only continue to blame white/racism/the system/etc. for so much!!

FYI

We leave ourselves open to the lunacy of the white haters if we pretend this isn't an issue/problem/etc. at all!

Just know when you're being baited, and don't bite!

FYI...

Just what level of faith or trust do you have, i. e., such folk can and will be able/willing/etc. to face up to their own shortcomings, go on to change their backward and stupid behavior, etc.?

I continue to feel and think some folks attitudes/viewpoints/etc. reflect you and their own defeatism ad naseum...

Do where would you lead us next?
