Exactly. What’s more offensive than anything the mother’s said or done is a lack of appreciation and acknowledgment of cultural nuances on this thread by people who are supposed to be some of the most anti-racist people on this forum. Most black children come from the most loving homes but the situational cultural context is by-and-large a bit different and certain values (especially as far as active religion goes) are held more conservatively and intensely so black people generally are far more likely to be homophobic and anti-gay than white people and everyone knows that deep down. I’m not saying it applies to the vast, vast majority of black parents or that it might not need challenging on a cultural level (I’m not getting into that) but there’s no point naively pretending that two Jamaican parents or a family of strict Deeper Life Bible Church members are going to be about the LGBT propaganda like that. It’s a bit different with second-gen./millennial folk but you can’t force that type of ideology or practice unquestionably on the typical first-generation black family to accept for their kids. You just can’t and that’s that. It doesn’t make the parents bad or thoroughly-bigoted people. It makes them people who hold different cultural and religious values.
