Why are we still reading this? SOBaldwin has spewed some of the most hateful racism and divisive language regarding sexual orientation that I have ever read.
Frightfully clever? Not at all. Militant, inflammatory, loud, ugly. Identity politics is the malady that creates and sustains inequality. SOBaldwin mistakes it for the solution to the very problem that it creates, and reinforces negative stereotypes of everything that he identifies with. Ignore him.
Baldwin: Black/Queer Racism/Heterophobia, 06–21–17
You (SOB) wrote, “Aiden Scot Frost: You have it ALL the way fucked up. My audience is black/queer people. My audience is not anyone who thinks of themselves as white or aligned with Whiteness.”
Well, I was born Caucasian, and I won’t apologize for that. I am probably the least threatening to your “cause” of any “white people”/people “aligned with whiteness” whom you have ever met. Colossus, The End Up, Zelo, W. Dance Nishi-Azabu, Tokyo, etc. If you are old enough, you may well have paid to attend my dance performances at mixed and gay clubs on the west coast and in Asia.
You do not speak for African-Americans or “queer” people. Your rhetoric is no less offensive than that of the KKK or the Third Reich.
Aside from your extremely offensive and obtuse racism/heterophobia, rage, and hostility, I don’t see much here. You will accomplish nothing.
Baldwin: “Let bigots die”, 06–21–17
And finally, how is it that you expect to be taken seriously when you say, “Let bigots die”, when you yourself project such obtuse bigotry? If I found you in grave danger, I would do everything in my power to protect you. In fact, I have saved several lives, and it never occurred to me that any of them might be unworthy of my efforts. You use the terms, “old white man”, “white fucks”, and several other blatantly racist and otherwise bigoted expressions. Do you not consider yourself to be a bigot?
You will never defeat racism with racism, and you certainly won’t defeat homophobia with heterophobia.
