white privledge

I did a video on my youtube channel(youtube.com/thefacegyrl) about this same crap once. It was about how white women are exotic dancers and escorts, but sistahs are strippers and hoes. That mess really irks me. As it applies to the GLBT community well, the divide is even deeper and more apparent.The best example I can give is my girl; Ellen Degeneres(sp?). Here you have a totally out caucasian woman with one of the top rated daytime talk shows on t.v. This woman has viewers and fans of every nationality and background there is. She has accomplished this all while being openly gay, yet also so very popular, that her "marraige" to her partner was plastered across the pages of People magazine. Fucking People magazine! Can somebody please name one openly gay, major mainstream personality of color. Any color. Other than white...don't worry, I'll wait. Still waiting. In the black gay community there is very little love once one comes out of the closet. Not nearly the support that is neccessary to navigate being young, black and gay in hollywood.It's sad and ignorant. Not that I have anything against Ellen, cuz I luvs me some her, It just bothers me when I think of the opportunities that I fight tooth and nail for that I KNOW would come more freely if I were just of the right "persuasion". I'm just saying.

I could rant and rave about me all day. I am one of my favorite subjects. Soon I'll be one of yours too.
