Reply to "Black and white in America"

As a gay white man who has been involved in an interacial relationship for over five years, I can attest that yes, there is racism in the gay scene as well as the goth, fetish, bi, freaky deaky set. Basically, its an all pervavise situation here in the States. This relationship has been an eye opener for me as to the sense of entitlement we whites have and take for granted on a daily basis. Simple things like hailing a cab or walking into a high end store become an issue when you are not of a certain hue, and I have gotten my share of attitude from both whites and blacks. Try walking into an all black gay bar like say, "One Potato" with your black lover if you want to hear some bitchy threats. It's sad but unfortunately there is no easy answer.
