I was trying my absolute best not to say anything about this. I was just gonna let it go and leave it alone but it seems like every time I go online, on blogs, on MySpace, on YouTube, on message boards, when I open my email I see it, people I know even ask me about it, it's all over the black gay circuit right now. As much as not saying anything would me more a part of the solution than the problem I just really need this question answered so I'm gonna make this one quick. Could somebody tell me why the fuck do we as gay people care so much about this B2K, Raz B, Chris Stokes bullshit?
Yes why, why should I waste my precious gay time even thinking about this shit? What, because someone allegedly got fucked in the ass it's all of a sudden a gay issue, what manner of bullshit is that? When are we gonna learn that as proud gay people that are lives are defined by more than sex acts and that every time a dude sticks his dick in another dudes ass doesn't mean that we have to come a'runnin'. I've said this before (in this post) and even though people argued me down for saying it I still stand by it. Homosexual acts and being gay are two different things. Period. This whole Raz B mess is not a gay issue, it's a crime issue that should be discussed by a jury in a court of law. And then we wonder why people always associate the gays with child molestation, maybe we should stop associating ourselves with it first. We as black gay people should have given the same cold shoulder to this mess that mainstream media has given it.
Four days ago when I was directed to this video I was disgusted by Raz B's comments that he's not gay, that he's a real man. Whether he's gay or not, who the fuck is he to say that a gay man is any less of a man than a straight man? All of this after he played the role of a gay man on the LOGO series "Noah's Ark". Nobody ever seemed to bring up that point. That should have been the end of him with us right there. I know he totally fucked up with me right there. The fact that after that statement this thing was still all the buzz in the online black gay community astonishes me. We don't have anything else to talk about? He's not gay and he just insulted us to our faces, why are we giving him any coverage?
Instead of getting MySpace bulletins on that shit I wish somebody would have told me that they were airing another piece on Rashawn Brazell's murder America's Most Wanted last Saturday night. I tuned in on pure happenstance and only saw the last minute of it. I wish I could've seen the whole thing. Many of us, like me, especially us here in New York have seen the missing person posters but never knew any of the gruesome details of the crime. Maybe something shown in that piece would have clicked with someone and they could have called in with a clue or something. That broadcast was something I wish I was alerted about rather than having been beat over the head with this other bullshit for the last four days.
Now there's supposed to be some video of Raz B recanting his statement. All of this after the gays have been going off over it for the last four days... figures. One day we'll learn.

PS: And if one gay person tells me that they watched Raz B's reality show or whatever the fuck he's trying to do with his washed up career I'm gonna go the hell off! Be warned.
