Sure, but a white man posing as a gay black man his Twitter account with his picture is bizarre. Personally I think white people should consider not trying to speak to experiences they have never even come close to having.

It’s not bizarre. He has an alt account he uses to troll with and forgot to sign into that one. Stupid yes, bizarre no

The goal post moves every time. Any time fascists have sufficient power against the out group, the in group gets smaller so they have enough scary opponents to fuel the outrage. Also why as things improve, they find the newest weak link punching bag. It's important to protect that weak link they find because many of us are only a few rungs up the ladder of acceptable to them. We let our brothers and sisters get crushed and we're next.

Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group So when that cage is done with them and you're still poor, it come for you The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (oops)

It is stupid and bizarre to me. I believe he was a state legislator for Lehigh county area. Totally inappropriate behavior. Unbecoming of a public servant.

There are plenty of public servants who participate in conduct unbecoming on a daily basis. I can only wish that the law applied equally to them.

Personally, I don't think anybody should be trying to speak to experiences they have never come close to having.

"Yes, but" statements are not counter-arguments.

Sure it is possible. But this post is not about a gay black man, it is about a white man posing as a gay black man. Trying to stay on point and not stray into non relevant hypothetical statements. Unfortunately people stray into areas they have no business. In fact the majority of social issues are generally people out of their depth of knowledge and understanding trying to impose the so called personal judgement.

I am sorry. I am confused. I responded to a post that said:
> In the past, I saw a right-wing Reddit account that said something about being a gay black man.
> Went back in their comments a bit, and they talked about having a wife and kids.
with:
> I am sure it is possible to be a gay black man and at the same time be married with kids.
My response was to a comment, not to the original post. The comment set the context for my reply.

What if that’s what he identifies as ?don’t ya ?

He only "identifies as" when he's trolling white people while pretending to be a gay black man who looks like a white dude.

I'd say that the color of the person's skin shouldn't have anything to do with your statement. It's so true that you only ended up detracting from a wonderful point. Thanks, I wish more people understood the limits of their own experiences. ❤️
