Man Arrested for Causing Trans Anxiety

The L Word and Queer As Folk come to mind and I don't even watch television

Queer as Folk has been off the air for 18 years

Actually it's growing up in a home without a father more than it is poverty.

Debunking the most pervasive myth about black fatherhood

Queer as Folk has been off the air for 18 years

Plenty of filth of the same type has replaced it since then. TV isn't even needed anymore. Kids can find it in their school classrooms now, even when parents object to it in front of school boards.

 

[RDKirk]

why don't you have something to say.

How about saying that those astonishing levels are only found for those living below the poverty line.

I would not say that because it is not true.

Middle class African AMerican's are not killing in any numbers grater than white middle class people. How about pointing out the simple fact that poverty is the problem not skin color.

The murder rate isn't the only thing I mentioned.

No, our issues are not a matter of poverty. Rather, we have a culture problem that contributes to continued poverty when it need not do so.

Debunking the most pervasive myth about black fatherhood

Participation is not the same thing as being in the home. And even mentorship programs don't resolve the problem.

This is what happens:

The single black mother has become convinced, "I don't need a man." That's what she tells her young son as well. What the boy sees is that his mother is doing "okay" without a man.

When his father comes to pick him up for a few hours, his father of course takes him out for a good time. What the boy sees is that his father, living solely for himself, is having a terrific life.

Boys learn from what they see. What the boy sees is that a mother alone does all right and a father alone does great. That's what he carries into his own adulthood.

At this point, the black urban community is about three generations into this cycle.

I'm just wondering why so many want homosexuals to repent and are silent on the sins of pride, greed, and adultery to name a few. I always thought that the best place to combat sin is in the church. I don't know if we can expect homosexuals to reform if we don't allow them in church. Many feel rejected by God's church and thereby, also by God. I'm not saying condone it just condone the people who struggle with it.

We are not silent on that. But if schools where trying to teach kids that being full of greed, and committing adultery were wonderful and normal and that they would help support such behaviors and we had hospitals and pediatrics who would provide whatever was necessary to them to help be that way, we might say something.

You know we've had gay people in our church. And they were accepted just st as they were. But the gospel and teaching didn't stop. Eventually people have to make a choice, follow Christ or follow sin.

Try a dictionary. It's not made up, it's in the English language dictionary.

So? It doesn't change what said one bit.

I'm sure most people hate things that destroy lives. I don't see how homosexuality destroys lives more than any other sin.

You are missing the point. Those things that are so destructive are not extolled as wonderful and virtuous. They are not taught to children as things that are great and they are not supported by teachers and hospitals. Drugs are not given to o Chrildren so they can better participate in those destructive behaviors. Life altering Surgeries are not given to the youth so they can do those destructive behaviors.

The content aspect of humor is not just about me.

Sure, there are a lot of emotional hangups that are common in humans. Enjoying off color humor doesn't require of a person anything more than not having those emotional hangups. People watch folks in movies get murdered for entertainment all the time. It just takes an ability to distinguish fantasy from reality to get over being offended by someone telling a joke. Folks who say that telling a ____ist joke makes you ____ist can't do that.

 

[Moral Orel]

that doesn't mean they are racist jokes

What do you think a racist joke is?

Debunking the most pervasive myth about black fatherhood

There is no indication that these people were killed because of their gender identity. Most are people of color. They are more often victims of homicide.BLM silent when confronted with data showing massive 2020 spike in Black murder victims

Reality invades?
If only we could keep the kids ignorant of such things!

 

[SilverBear]

I would not say that because it is not true.

Really?

Middle class African Americans commit violent crimes at the same rate as those in the lowest socioeconomic class? I'd loave to see some stats on that.

Yeah that is the myth. It doesn't hold up to the light of day though

 

[BPPLEE]

In your mind maybe

 

[RDKirk]

Yeah that is the myth. It doesn't hold up to the light of day though

I am black and I've been working directly with black youth for the last 25 years. I've also got a black son.

What you are protesting is that schools are presenting is that it's OK to be a member of a minority and that we should treat those who are those who are minorities just like everyone else. So you continue to compare and associate this minority with all sorts of bad people so that discrimination and hate against LGBT people can be acceptable. You give lip service to the idea that discrimination is bad and that you would NEVER condone that then turn around and say LGBT people are just like filthy liars, they are sick diseased people and that's why they are mutilating children. And now you've added that LGBT people are Nazi's...but you don't hate them.

You know we've had gay people in our church. And they were accepted just st as they were.

I don't believe you

So? It doesn't change what said one bit.

That is because what you said just isn't true

You are missing the point. Those things that are so destructive are not extolled as wonderful and virtuous. They are not taught to children as things that are great and they are not supported by teachers and hospitals. Drugs are not given to o Chrildren so they can better participate in those destructive behaviors. Life altering Surgeries are not given to the youth so they can do those destructive behaviors.

yep those sick evil gays only want to hurt and mutilate children....but we don't hate them

Its not hang-ups. Its s sign of normal human empathy. Pretty much everybody has a line somewhere about content thats not funny because of personal experience or because its genuinely mean to others - except for psychopaths.

Otoh I do think that people also respond to social mores about whats acceptable humor and what isnt. Those standards can sometimes be oppressive and inhibit people who would actually like to find the verboten joke funny.

did you show up for a few hours and take him out for a good time? No? Oh you were a parent. A black father involved with his kid, what a rare thing

For the last 6 years almost all late night comedy has been political and rarely is it funny

Queer as Folk has been off the air for 18 years

So there has been LGBTQ representation on television for a long time.

I think a lot of late nite political content isnt meant to be humor so much as quite serious but breezy commentary.

For me its dumb jokes that categorically arent funny. Stuff thats blunt and obvious.
