San Francisco's Slavery Reparations Package Is As Gay As MLK's Civil Rights Movement

San Francisco's plans to pay black residents slavery reparations have as much to do with gays as Martin Luther King's Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 60s. 

If water is wet and fire is hot, is being black gay? Or is being gay black? However you want to spin it, black and LGBT cultures are like siamese twins.

Did you watch the NAACP Image Awards? I wouldn't blame you if you didn't. If you did, you saw how Gabrielle and Dwayne Union prostituted their 15-year-old son in front of the world as Zaya, a "transgender" who came out of the closet at age 12.

The entire show was a footsy fest between black Hollywood and the LGBT Alphabet Mob. Queen Latifah, a 52-year-old lesbian, hosted the show. Nicco Annan, a gay actor, won the award for Best Actor for his role in P-Valley, a drama series that follows the lives of employees at a fictional strip club called The Pynk. (Yes, the "P" stands for "pussy".) Brittney Griner, the WNBA player who tried to smuggle cannabis oil into Russia and was released in exchange for one of the world's deadliest terrorists, received a roaring round of applause as she took the stage with her wife.

The only thing that could have made the show an even bigger LGBT extravaganza is if it was held in San Francisco instead of Pasadena. San Fran is the gay mecca, after all. The city's NFL team, the 49ers, was named after the men who flooded the area in 1849 in what would later be called The Gold Rush. They left their wives and children at home for months. Many engaged in homosexual activities with each other in the mining camps. Gay Armed Forces members who were given "blue discharges" populated the area in the early 1900s. Currently, over 6% of San Francisco's population identifies as LGBT, higher than any other American city.

The San Francisco Human Rights Commission's Reparations Advisory Committee has released a plan detailing how the city will pay eligible blacks for injustices of generations past.

In the report, the committee says it will pay $5 million to blacks who satisfy specific eligibility requirements.

Conservative media rightly criticizes that the $5 million price tag was seemingly pulled out of thin air. In an interview, Committee chairman Eric McDonnell told The Washington Post, "There wasn't a math formula. It was a journey for the committee towards what could represent a significant enough investment in families to put them on this path to economic well-being, growth and vitality that chattel slavery and all the policies that flowed from it destroyed."

I noticed something else in the committee's proposal.

"Black LGBTQ Americans also suffer from adverse health conditions at higher rates than other demographics. Within the American West, the Black queer community is more likely to be uninsured, and are more likely to be diagnosed with depression, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and cancer. Additionally, a study in 2021 found that Black transgender women in the San Francisco Bay Area are at higher risk of suffering from hate crimes, because of the intersectional effects of transphobia and racism. This demographic has a higher likelihood to be the victim of battery with a weapon, compared to white transgender women who participated in the study."

What do black queers not having health insurance and hate crimes against black "transgender" women have to do with slavery reparation payouts?

Nothing.

But it is part and parcel of how LGBT activists have piggybacked off of black civil rights movements.

San Francisco State University history professor Marc Stein recalls that early LGBT activists adopted many of the same strategies civil rights activists used. The two movements were separate entities with considerable overlap. "Influence can be the influence of ideas, and specifically, ideologies, influence of strategies. Influence can also come in the form of people who move between movements, or who are engaged in multiple movements, and we do have examples of that in the early LGBT movement."

Eric Cervini, an LGBT historian, says, "Every single element of what we know of as Pride and gay rights and, especially, the pre-Stonewall homophile [the preferred adjective at the time] movement, was borrowed from the Black Freedom Movement. Frank Kameny's primary role, what made him so brilliant but also complex of a historical figure, was that he served primarily as a Xerox machine copying different elements of the Black Freedom Movement and applying that to a previously nonmilitant, nonprotesting movement."

Frank Kameny, an Ashkenazi Jew, played a crucial role in the American gay rights movement.

Martin Luther King Jr. was heavily influenced by two gay men. Bayard Rustin stood next to King as he recited his "I Have A Dream" speech. Rustin helped organize marches and introduced King to Mahatma Gandhi's teachings, inspiring MLK's peaceful protest approach. The poetic works of Langston Hughes could be found interlaced throughout King's sermons. Historians believe King's "Dream" speech was inspired by Hughes' "I Dream a World" poem. Cynics claim King's speech was an exercise of plagiarism of Hughes' work.

Furthermore, former Atlanta Mayor and close MLK understudy Andrew Young instituted the first Pride Week in 1985. Reverend Jesse Jackson has repeatedly likened the push for gay marriage to the plight to end slavery. Jackson founded the National Rainbow Coalition, which fought for equal rights for blacks, women, and homosexuals. It merged with Operation PUSH, another black liberation organization, to form the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition.

LGBT doctrine is antithetical to the Bible. So was King.

When King attended Crozer Theological Seminary from 1948-51, he wrote several papers doubting the omnipresent power of Jesus Christ. In his essay The Humanity and Divinity of Jesus, King writes, "...we may notice that Jesus was by no means omniscient. His knowledge was essentially limited by human conditions...The orthodox attempt to explain the divinity of Jesus in terms of an inherent metaphysical substance within him seems to me quite inadequate. To say that Christ … is divine in an ontological sense is actually harmful and detrimental."

In another paper, King doubts Jesus' virgin birth: "To begin with, the earliest written documents in the New Testament make no mention of the virgin birth. Moreover, the Gospel of Mark, the most primitive and authentic of the four, gives not the slightest suggestion of the virgin birth."

Later, he cast doubt on the Resurrection: "The last doctrine in our discussion deals with the resurrection story. This doctrine, upon which the Easter Faith rests, symbolizes the ultimate Christian conviction: that Christ conquered death. From a literary, historical, and philosophical point of view this doctrine raises many questions. In fact the external evidence for the authenticity of this doctrine is found wanting. But here again the external evidence is not the most important thing, for it in itself fails to tell us precisely the thing we most want to know: What experiences of early Christians lead to the formulation of the doctrine?"

Martin Luther King Jr. either did not believe in Christianity or, at the very least, acknowledged it incredulously. So it should be no surprise that a movement that spits in the face of Christianity latched on to King.

The LGBT Alphabet Mob is using the same leech-like tactics today. They hop on the backs of blacks and yell, "Giddy Up!" Gay activists rode Barack Obama, America's first gay president, into The White House. Black Lives Matter was started by three Marxist women, two of whom are lesbians. Organizers used the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbury, and Breonna Taylor to push the LGBT agenda, leading to the passing and cultural acceptance of the Marriage Equality Act. 

The slavery reparations movement is already fueled by narcissism and an absence of critical thought. It's why it will inevitably be co-opted by the Alphabet Mob.
