Everyone’s giving him his deserved props but if he was around today, y’all and y’all’s supreme leader Mullah Nasheed would all be calling him a bussy boy and part of the LGBT agenda to destroy Black masculinity and all that bullshyt.

:russ:

nah Baldwin was different. he kept it Black 1st not Rainbow 1st.

That is not true at all. Again, if they are truly pro black we welcome them. The same way we welcome James Baldwin's works right now in 2021. The same way we welcome Luther, Frank Ocean, Little Richard.
Frank Ocean? Are you kidding me? He got flamed here when he came out. Luther and Little Richard never came out publicly about their sexual orientation, so I’m not sure why you mentioned them.

Not all gays are the same

this man here is great and accomplished great things

He wasn’t waltzing around in gimp outfits during pride parades
And he wasn't being pimped out like the black people today are being used by the agenda.

Yeah but if he was alive today he would come out and y’all would clown him and make stupid bussy jokes and ignore everything he had to say cause he was gay.

You keep repeating yourself and you want to believe it but it's not true. Yes we will crack jokes but so what, you are equating hurting feelings with white supremacy.

I think Umar is a clown 50 percent of the time and he gets cracked on too.

Langston Hughes was also gay. It was never made the main focus of his story. Most Black people back then had pride, class, and decorum. They kept their personal lives where it belonged at home because they knew and understood the assignment and the work was for the community as a whole.
Word and shout out to Langston Hughes. It's like people forget that people like to be black second in everything now aways

All this Pride shyt didn't start happening until these gay groups realized they could get money and attention for being gay. Before that it didn't matter who you were fukking cuz there was no money or agenda attached to it.
