I absolutely think gay people are similarly oppressed as black people, which I've elaborated in detail here. If you want to deconstruct my argument, you're free to do so, but so far you haven't. Just saying something is not comparable without providing valid reasons and counter arguments doesn't really cut it.

Also, I don't care if you're offended by the f-word. Like a black person doesn't care if a white person is offended by the n-word. You are not the target of that word. If you have enough respect as a white person towards black people to understand the use of the n-word is not allowed in any situation or context, which you've gone out of your way to prove on these boards, you should have the decency to do the same with a word that has the same impact on a certain group of people you don't belong to. Again, empathy and respect. The only reason I can think of that you're not doing it is as stated above.

Point me to the exact cases where I continuously try to knock down poc down a peg? If this is still about the Nicky M. vs. Cardi B thread, I've explained over and over that was over two trashy people in a dumb beef. Poc can be dumb and trashy, sorry, they are not exempt from criticism on that level.

Just because I think you're not very well suited to be a mod (case in point is your continuous inflammatory behavior WHICH EVERYONE ACKNOWELDGES) isn't a legitimate excuse for you to try and paint me as a racist, dude. Seriously.

True dat. It's your racist statements that legitimize my posts.

hold up

About comparing gay discrimination to racism: it's fundamentally invalid, since it's a very different kind of discrimination, so its manifestations and history are also very different. Racism is similar to sexism in that it has directly to do with power structures; black people and women had to serve, and trying to justify that is why both suffer from the stereotype of being intellectually incapable. Homophobia is very different; gays haven't been a serving class, the world just pretended they didn't exist mostly (the origin of homophobia may have to do with power in the sense of the threat of sexual freedom and enjoyment uprooting power structures, but that's very indirect). So for instance the fact that being black doesn't have an explicit death penalty in some countries and being gay does, just means homophobia is a kind of discrimination where a group's existence is attempted to be erased (not the existence of the actual people because people are valuable; just their sexuality. Those capital punishments are meant to shut gay people up); the existence of black people can't be erased because you can't really hide skin colour, so racists try to keep them in a serving position instead, with the accordingly different laws etc. That's the bleak reality, but it doesn't mean gay people are more oppressed.
And even if gay people were discriminated more heavily, that doesn't mean the corresponding slurs are worse than n*****. That depends on the history and connotation of the particular word, which is what makes n***** much worse. And for the record, I don't condone the use of f***** either and I think trying to find excuses for using it is weaksauce
