Cringey BET Awards, Bad Debates, & Pride Month Parades

[@TheAmalaEkpunobi]

Guys, BET copyright claimed this episode and had it removed from KZbin until we clipped out Taraji P. Henson's skit and speech. Here are links to those videos on X: Skit with Kamala Harris x.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1807578327835689336 Project 2025 Speech x.com/THR/status/1807584621560770944

I will always find the irony in these celebrities, these multi-millionaires acting like they know how the average person, the average american is going through. I know people want representation and say these celebrities should speak on issues on their platforms. IN MY OPINION, they shouldn’t, they’re too out of touch with reality.

[@TheSpiderInUrWalls]

Literally… pride used to mean ‘you shouldn’t hate yourself for being gay. It is okay to like the same sex, and you shouldn’t be persecuted for that.’ Now people take it as ‘gay=good, straight=bad’. It’s ridiculous. Straight people and gay people are equal and always have been? I’ve always seen it that way, but some of my friends don’t, and are definitely biased towards LGBT+ people in music, in acting, and just in general

[@Jrav1120]

As a black gay man, I went to pride ONCE in college and I said NEVER AGAIN. The LGBT movement has become ALL OF THE THINGS PEOPLE WERE AGRAID OF. And I am truly ashamed of what the community is today. BEING GAY IS NOT A PERSONALITY

[@RainbowSludge]

Honestly, it is too much, when people are automatically associated with this type of degraded behavior JUST because they are gay. And I see the young people (the alphabet ones, not regular gay people) just running full speed into this. Like now they believe that that HAVE to be overtly sexual and kinky at all times if they are LGBTQ. But they just don’t. So much of that community looks down and judged if you aren’t that way. At least here in Portland. I am seen as some boring, conservative, prude because I don’t just let my tits out constantly.

Why do all the Pride Month parades have to have nearly naked men and women in leather prominently featured in the parade? This is true in LA and NYC and several other cities where I've seen the parades in person or online.

A fetish is NOT pride… I’m bi and this doesn’t represent us. Pride is about celebrating our rights and the freedoms we have gained in the world as LGBTQ people. Again this is NOT pride…

[@wjdeoliveira3809]

Fetishes also have nothing to do with being gay or bi or anything. Plenty of straight people have fetishes, plenty of gay people do not. In fact I think pride has gone off the deep end partly because it has been infiltrated by crazy straight people.

If it’s religious based reason, Title 7 should allow you to refuse. I’d hire a lawyer, for me a Christian one.

Grants Pass is my hometown. I have been living out of state to get my degree, and when I tell you my relief at hearing that the city has the chance to fix part of their homeless problem? I remember visiting last year and being shocked at how many homeless people and how few children there were at the parks and playgrounds I grew up on. They passed a bill that homeless people could sleep in parks to give them a place to go after sundown and before sunrise. I believe that homeless people should have a place to go, but this wasn't the right solution. One of my family members works with a service organization in town, and they have seen how there are many spots open in homeless shelters, but people aren't filling them because they would be required to be clean and sober to live in a shelter. The drug culture in Grants Pass is insane, and so many homeless people refuse to give up their drugs. I'm glad to know that they may be adjusting that law about homeless people in public spaces because it means my family and friends might be able to take their children to the beautiful parks again. Also it was way cool to hear Amala talk about my home!

Driving laws states that even if a pedestrian is in the wrong you are supposed to yield to pedestrian on crosswalk. That’s bad! And he had marijuana and without his medical marijuana card he also could have gotten in trouble. This cop was so chill and nice. And why? Well I think Taraji’s son from the camera footage was also very calm and not aggressive. He didn’t act in a way that would make an officer feel unsafe and thus more inclined to use more forceful means. He complied with instructions and remained calm and respectful. He even didn’t even give the son a citation but a warning.

Yup! Like the 100s of democrat think tank bs proposals....this is a conservative proposal by one right leaning think tank! There are 100 left leaning think tanks to one right leaning think tank - meaning 100 more dark money donors on the left vs on the right! It's disgusting what these people trying to pull!

I remember the Contract with America also drawn up by the Heritage foundation in the 90s. It was largely adopted and I can't remember one affect it had on me, my family or my community as blacks. The only difference was there was no social media influences to scare Dem voters about it.
