What About Your Friends?

Tell me why me and Omar are discussing The Chipmunks? LOL he is a good conversationalist. Let me not put him out there, I brought up the munks. Alvin...Simon...Theodore!

I love my friends. They're being really supportive. Too bad tomorrow we're all checking out of these here dorms tomorrow. I'm really sad about that. Some people asked questions...gave some answers, didn't answer others. Tomorrow is going to suck so hard. It's gonna be emotional + I gotta move all my shit out and clean my dorm + I gotta do my laundry + I'm gonna donate most of my clothes to my favorite thrift store + I have to tell my mom about what happened + I have to tell my professors and who knows what else I'ma have to do.

A Look At "The Captain"

Warning: This shit is long and in depth. I highly encourage all of you to read it in its entirety, so take your time. You may need to make multiple visits, but I think the following is an important and relevant debate. This isn't about controversy or trying to attack someone. Some of you may say I'm going too far and shouldn't talk about someone else's blog, but I am opening up a necessary debate, which is something "The Captain" has done in the past as well, which is a good thing. Onto the post...

Every time I'm about to address a specific blogger, my blog friends get a tad hesitant. I don't think that should be the case. I think we need to hold ourselves accountable and look out for each other. Some people hate confrontation, but I think it's necessary. Confrontation and controversy make things happen. Think about if so many of our great leaders of the past hated confrontation...we'd still be on the plantation gettin fucked by master. As Trent Jackson would say "I'm not saying, I'm just saying"

Transphobia

Whenever I encounter someone who is vehemently homophobic, I have to ask "are they gay?" My question was soon answered after stumbling across the blog of The Captain. He left this comment on my post about discriminating against transgendered people in the gay community:

"I am strongly persuaded that those individuals that want to cross their gender from one to another have internal conflicts of acceptance and understanding. To a certain degree, I feel that is what we all go through in experiencing our own sexual orientation and coming into reality to what we are and what we created to do in the human life. Yes, people can be confused about these things and unable to figure them out. Unfortunately, we keep putting out the message that everything is OK. Being a homsexual is OK. Being a heterosexual is OK. Being a transgender is OK. There is too many variables here... and NOT everything is- OK! "

First of all, this comment is unclear and I need some clarification. So it is acceptable when heterosexuals and homosexuals go through "experiencing our own sexual orientation and coming into reality to what we are"... It's acceptable when heterosexuals and homosexuals go through that process, COME TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSION, and then continue on with their lives, BUT NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO come to the conclusion that they have an inner desire to be another gender?

This argument is flawed and needs more clarification if it is to stand up. Who are you? Are you a transgendered person? Did your God deem you in a position to discern whether or not these people are OK by your standards?

Or did your God tell you that you are a sinner and to basically shut the hell up about other people's "lifestyles"? I think the latter is more accurate.

Hypocrisy kills.

I already debated with Stone about this issue. I let the "debate" with him end in a whimper when all I got in return were barely comprehensible responses, manly gruntings, armpit scratching, and jargon. To continue with the debate would have been cruel and useless on my part. However, The Captain, I see you are very capable of commanding the English language, so I do hope you will engage me in furthering this conversation.

Because of the lack of clarity in that comment (the end of the comment, specifically), I'll have to move on to the posts on your blog to maybe gain some further insight.

I have a question many of your own readers are confused about: are you gay? You, as well as many others, may say it's none of my business. However, when you start a blog and make such broad statements (you want to ban gay marriage?), it does became a matter of everyone's "business". Blogging is open to the public, and the public has a right to ask such questions when such statements are made.

I'm just going to assume you are indeed gay. Many of your posts, the blogs you tend to read, the fact that you constantly say "we" when referring to the gay "lifestyle", and your ambiguous gender terms when referring to partners lead the reader to believe you are indeed gay or a "former" gay.

It is apparent that while you are gay yourself, you are extremely homophobic. In one post appropriately titled "I DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!" (me either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I was disturbed to read that you met a man who you thought was "very cool", but then after he got comfortable with you enough to be his true ("feminine-acting") self, you strongly disliked him!

" I can’t get with that at all and don’t know where it is coming from. "

Ask him, perhaps. Maybe he was raised around all women. Maybe he didn't have many male role models. Or perhaps, GASP, he is just exercising his right as a human being to be himself and be LOVED for it! Everyone deserves love. Does his limp wrist send you into convulsions? Does his lisp throw you into a series of seizures? This is sad too:

"Everything he did irritated me to the fullest. From the way he was smacking his lips talking, to crossing his legs like a woman, to switching with a bounce in his step like Madea, it was truly annoying. "

Why was it so annoying? I really want to know. Examine that and get back to me please! This sounds like a case of self-hatred and self-homophobia to me, but I will let you explain that one, if you so wish.

I see that I'm mentioned in this post. Aww how sweet, pookie, thanks, really I'm honored. However, it strikes me as odd that in this post you give praise to so many of these great bloggers...but they are all GAY. So are they really that great in your eyes if they live this sinful abominable lifestyle? How can you give credence to this great group of people when they are living the "gay lifestyle" you so despise and denigrate on a daily basis? How confusing.

In this post, entitled Tired (Me too, boo! Damn!), you make a list of things gone horribly wrong with the gay community which you so despise (yet love! yet hate! yet love! yet...) I would go through each item you listed, but this is already long enough. But let me just say that every single point you listed is true of ALL cultures, not just the gay community. Every single point you made can be said of the BLACK community. Is being black wrong too? Well, send me back to Africa, lynch me, and call me Kunta Kinte! Every African American community, gay or straight, has issues with every problem you listed (image, adultery, clubbing, working against ourselves, wanting to be accepted by mainstream society, and playing games)

BEING BLACK IS AN EVIL ABOMINATION AGAINST GOD! Hey, I'm just going by your logic!

The more I read through your blog, the more and more I get confused by you. Aren't you gay? Don't you love yourself? If not, don't you respect all those gay bloggers you converse with and gush over? Why are you so vehemently against them having the right to get married?

This post poses so many questions and I have many more, but I will stop now and allow you to give a rebuttal, if you so chose. Either way, there will be a part two as there is still more to address.

I encourage everyone to join in the debate, leave a comment, or send an e-mail (I do read them, even when my lazy ass doesn't respond).
