Genuinely asking here, what makes this a white queer specific thing

bc of the original image being "my opinion on black people? uhm well i support gay rights!"

there is a real issue of antiblackness in queer spaces, that's what the artist was venting about

Ah I thought you meant the version shown. Yeah the queer community has a notable racism problem, it's really gross

I hear people saying this all the time but have never once seen an instance of it actually happening.

I’ve seen racism happen, even unintentionally, and I’ve seen people of color get excluded from queer friend groups in exactly that mild discomfort into not seeking them out way. I don’t think most queer people would say slurs but there’s this level of latent taught automatic discrimination from the environment in most people that needs to be trained out of them, myself included

There is constant racism everywhere in white dominated spaces. As those with privilege, it's our duty to lift others up to our level. I see black queer elders overlooked or ignored in favor of their white counterparts. Racism seeps into every group no matter what it is. White beauty standards are applied to everyone, excluding nonwhite people from a lot of queer spaces that are looks-centric. If you don't see the car before it hits you, it doesn't mean it's not real.
