Now That's Ridiculous

Someone writes:

"One also needs to look at Caribbean culture to understand why artists such as Sizzla speak out against homesexuality. In history many slaves and their descendants were sodomized by the masters, it is something that degraded the people and was used to abuse the males. It is also an act that degrades the Black family on top of the other psychological trauma inflicted upon people of color throughout time such as the separation of the family unit for profit."

Hey, how about the many, many women who were RAPED by their slavemasters? I don't see of movement of Jamaican women asking to punish all men who engage in heterosexual sex? How are consenting adults who happen to be homosexual possibly to blame for brutality against slaves in Jamaica? Your reason for defending Sizzla's hate is almost as lame as his hating on homosexuals!

If I was going to draw any lessons from slavery, I think one would be that all people deserve to be treated EQUAL. If you are a rastahead, I'm sure you've been discriminated against in some way. How would you feel if famous people started calling for YOU to be killed just because you've got dreads? Or smoke weed? Or do something else? Since you wouldn't like that, how can you possibly defend anyone who wants to oppress other people who are not oppressing YOU or anyone else?
