I agree! Homophobia in the Black community isn't acceptable. I believe it springs from the belief that homosexuality is something only White people do. Black people, many of us, are rooted in the church. We had the Bible and its teachings pounded into our heads. Others feel that homosexual Black men are less than, not fully men. Black male images are centered our strength and masculinity. I think we have so many issues in our community stemming from the era of enslavembt, Jim Crow, and the war on drugs. My people are fucked up, but we're not doing enough to fix ourselves.
