while i dont have enough time or energy to explain to you why using that term is offensive, i will save my breath and tell you this: address them as black people, black americans, or african americans. if you are unable to use any of these terms or you continue to call them "blacks" after reading this, then you are the problem.
while i see your point, i must point out the flaws in your argument. you mentioned that you are gay. why support donald trump if he continues to oppose the equality act? you said that the issue lies with the people, not the leaders. but don't you think the people would stop discriminating if they had a better leader? also, trump's administration also attacked the Affordable Care Act's LGBTQ nondiscrimination protection. and although this rule has been put on hold due to a federal court stay, if approved, it could allow doctors and insurance companies to refuse care to LGBTQ people. im sorry, how is this not homophobic? this rule would literally give health care workers the RIGHT to discriminate against gay people. the trump administration might as well be posting a sign outside of the White House saying "I hate gays!!" Many homophobic doctors will pounce on this opportunity to discriminate against gay people, or possible even refuse their service. Its honestly sad to see gay people supporting trump. its kind of like gay people saying "oh yeah, im all for conversion therapy!!" the irony is hilarious. donald trump and other conservatives in power will not stop at their attempt to chip away at the rights of gay and LQBTQ+ people. it is up to us, the voters, to stop him. me and you, we could make a difference. you just have to be willing to look at things from a different perspective. also, im curious. what **** has donald trump gotten done while in office to considerably improve the lives of ALL americans? and when i say all, i dont mean the rich, white upper class. i mean black people, brown people, asians, middle eastern people, gay people, trans people, queer people, indigenous people, and non-binary people.
also, i would like you to elaborate on which of bidens policies you say that he tiptoed around. be specific and use examples. dont worry, i wont be insulted.

auctully he supppots gay and callingsome one black is ok does it make me racist no does onwoing 3 conforedoarte flags foe just my romm make me racist no
@8ML2ZY44yrs4Y
I believe I have lost brain cells trying to comprehend what that sentence said. On the other hand I also believe that owning a confederate flag does make you racist. Another also, if Trump stays in office with Amy Coney Barret then us in the LGBTQ will loose our rights for adoption, marriage, healthcare, and doing military service.
@96FDL422yrs2Y
ooh babe no. Not the confederate flags 🤦♀️
@8N5QR5RRepublican4yrs4Y
I totally believe that and I myself has to fix that because I do say blacks. After reading this persons comment I should use it as african american because they should not be called blacks but as their real name because we should be proud to call them african american. They deserve to be recognized as such.
@9HSK5NS5mos5MO
Is African-American a race? If so, what do you call black Canadians/Britons/Germans etc? The hyphen should be the key there, any hyphenation divides, not unites.
@8PRSDMFRepublican3yrs3Y
are you black? if you arent, then stop getting offended for another race if you are, good for u
I'm not black, and I don't get offended for them, I make statements when something is racist or unjust.
@9856FRTRepublican 1yr1Y
I am black, and I don't think the term is "racist". When you try to say that something is offensive without being in the group you claim it offends, it is quite patronizing.
@8PRSDMFRepublican3yrs3Y
yes that's the thing nothing is racist or unjust about this you [) ick head
@9KZ5WSP3mos3MO
what does this have to do with anything?
@9LHWLNV2mos2MO
C'mon, calling someone black is not racist or offensive.
@9MK3K3H3wks3W
Work on your grammar before you criticize somebody's opinion, *****
@9KV589L3mos3MO
thats crazy, no comment on the use of the word gays? its the same thing smh
@9HFK27X6mos6MO
Shut up the term blacks in refered to as skin color just as if a black man was to call a group of white people the whites, there should be no issue in a color.
