MEXICO CITY, June 3 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - With protests over racial injustice continuing to roil the United States, "Queer Eye" star Karamo Brown has called on LGBT+ people to recognize the racism and transphobia in the community, and remember the radical roots of the gay rights movement.
Brown, the culture expert on Netflix's reality makeover show which begins its fifth season on Friday, said white gay men in particular need to recognize how they have benefited from racial injustice.
"There's a lot of racism that exists in the LGBT community," Brown, 39, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
"The things I've seen outside (in society) I've only seen perpetuated in the LGBT community. Yeah, you might have had a struggle because you're gay, but white privilege still exists."
Brown is the only black cast member on the show which sees the Fab Five transform the lives of a different "hero" each episode, through everything from haircuts to home renovation.
Brown's tearful one-on-one conversations are often the emotional heart of the show.
As proof of the racism still inherent in the gay community, Brown pointed to the negative reaction from gay men on social media to moves from dating apps including Grindr this week to remove ethnicity filters in a bid to tackle racism.
"White gay men were like 'this is wrong, I should have the right to be like I don't want blacks, I don't want Asians,'" Brown said. "If you inherently don't understand why that is wrong, as a gay person ... then you need to check yourself."
The killing of an unarmed black man in Minneapolis last week has drawn renewed focus to racism and police brutality in the United States, with protests arising in cities across the country over the death of George Floyd in police custody.
But for Brown the scenes playing out across the United States in recent weeks are nothing new.
"Growing up as a black man in America with immigrant parents raising two black sons, this is a constant conversation that I've been having," he said.
"These are constant things that I've seen with my friends and family members being harassed by police, being brutalized by police."
With June marking the start of the annual Pride month, when many gay and trans people commemorate riots against police brutality in 1969 in New York City, Brown called on the LGBT+ community to recall the protest-driven roots of the celebration.
"Protests are always part of Pride. It's just they get overshadowed by boys and girls with rainbows painted on their faces," he said.
King wait
I'm sure NY is somewhere stanning
I got nothing from this.
Who cares?
If they don't want blacks or Asians then they don't want blacks or Asians
No amount of kumbaying will change that
This damns BLM snow kings

When I read the thread title I thought he was talking about actual racism, instead it's just another black ok? pushing his agenda. All of this whining about preferences is what makes these white fags feel superior :disgusted:

I mean I get it but this week we've seen multiple examples of racism from white gays that had nothing to do with their sexual preferences.
One gay went viral for racism and he basically said he does fuck black men but only for their big dicks
Like Maybe it's because I prefer black men but It's kinda annoying how most of these Gays of color only site racism cause somebody won't fuck em

Thats actually not a terrible thing to say. What IS terrible is him calling his friend a nigger.
Fucking someone solely on fantasy is not bad. at all.

Not racism being foreplay. Whoa
& yeah, white gays probably don't want to fuck minorities because they're racist but that's a completely different issue from the kind of racism that affects people's lives. Like, niggas are dying and the nation is in an uproar and you're worried about being rejected by white men on dating apps? :disgusted:
:plzstop:
Its their sexual fantasy to be take control of by some nigger dick. Like... :disgusted: who cares.
there are bigger fish to fry
Lol

Can't stand them.
"The Delectable Negro" covers all of this, the fetishisation of black bodies is just another extension of racism whether it's "fantasy" or not :plzstop:
As long as they get off it's okay!
