I sure wish soc.motss could be a more positive influence in my life ...

I am SO tired of reading the deluge of bitchy remarks here.  I'm really tired  
of it.  I guess if that's what some of you feed off of, then so be it.

This newsgroup supposedly promotes a society of people who love members of the  
same sex.  I think if it continues the way it's going, it should be renamed  
continuous.catfight.  Just the elitist airs some of us put on is enough to turn  
plenty of Black or other people of color away because they just don't want to  
hear White people squawking over who is the best icon and who is more  
well-known and who should be remembered the longest.  Things that are all so  
obviously objective and hopelessly immaterial.  Life is too short.

.. and maybe that's why I took what John said out of context.  I personally  
don't want to wade through all the hissy fits just to find a positive,  
uplifting and productive post that may contain information relevant to a Black  
man.  I propose that if soc.motss is, in the eternal words of James Brown  
(almost), A White Man's World, another newsgroup should exist that recognizes  
ALL gay people - NOT just the more intellectual, NOT just the (supposedly) more  
articulate, and definitely NOT just focusing on the desires of ONE race of  
people.  A newsgroup that allows people to say something stupid once in a while  
without being relentlessly clobbered into never posting anything ever again.

Now, don't mistake this post for me saying "Can't we all just get along?"  
because I feel that that's bullshit.  I don't want to get along with you if  
you, as a White person, think that you're better than me and think that you are  
doing something for me by "gettin' along" with me.  And that goes double for  
you all because most of you are Gay.  I go to a historically White college and  
I see the kids who will be you in 8-10 years.  They are ignorant, but when  
approached with the proper information, they become "tolerant" because they  
feel like it's the fashionable thing to do.  Meanwhile, their views don't  
change; my views just become "tolerable" to them.  Then they think that they're  
doing the world a big favor by "tolerating" me.  I'm never really accepted, but  
their "tolerance" deceives you into thinking that I am.

Over the last couple of months, my hatred for the average White person has been  
quite difficult to handle.  My rage continues to grow astronomically, because I  
know that race relations in this country are either going nowhere or getting  
worse.  Last night, I beat up a white boy with a baseball bat because he said  
to me, "Hey Black Boy, suck my dick!"  I swore to God, I was going to kill him,  
because I didn't let the bat stop.  I keep swinging trying to swing it all the  
way through him.  I may be end up getting kicked out because of it, but I'm not  
worried.  I warned the RA that this would happen, but he chose not to do  
anything.  He shouldn't have left it up to me ...

I'm not expecting you to patron me exclusively, but if I feel that the only way  
I can exist here on soc.motss is by never posting anything of value or  
importance while simultaneously wading through the usual White diatribes, I  
won't have a very nice attitude when I do.
