Black Lives Matter activist Deray Mckesson opens up about being Gay and Black

#BlackQueensMatter

Ah, the ubiqiutous "trans womyn of colour".

Brutha is a hero, and handsome.

Poor thang.

Why doesn't he just open up about wanting his own TV show?

My hero

he's cute

very hot bro. and bright

Why does he always wear that down vest?

The vest is his signature trademark.

Faggot race baiter!

r11 fuck off developmentally delayed nazi rapist

Instagramma.

Smart and charming guy. Thx for sharing, OP.

So have he and Jussie Smollett fucked? Who was the top?

Is Deray pals with Laverne Cox?

he never smiles

He has a psycho look and has been taking advantage of Michael Brown's death since last year. He sends people to protest various white rich people events around St Louis and then posts their videos on twitter and vine.

This guy is very radical. He's gonna destroy capitalism.

He's gonna be there in the end throwing his Dorito rainbow darts at the big bankers.

The revolution will be tweeted!....and ignored.

The homocons have found a new thread to troll.

For 30 years I have noticed that the police kill black people and are never punished for the murders. It only made me hate cops and despise the injustice. I never grieve for a dead cop.

By the way I am white and I can recognize injustice when I see it.

He was just arrested by the po po in Louisiana but Beyoncé posted his bail. Drama queen

does he address the pervasive homophobia in the black community?

These articles remind me gay Muslims reconciling the fact that they are Muslim and gay. The majority of these groups don't care, they just want gays dead.

R25 clearly didn't watch the video.

Is he dating Jack Dorsey?

Gross.

BLM ... What do they want? I get that they want police brutality to end, but do they have a plan? As a movement it seems unfocused, reactionary and all over the map. Now the protestors are egging on police, and if any black suspect gets shot in any part of the U.S. under any circumstances then it's another protest? Just posting shit to Twitter and throwing shit at police is not a plan.

Soros

Deray is really cute. I'd let him fuck me.

If he would man up and say once and for all that the narrative of "Hands Up Don't Shoot" from the Mike Brown Ferguson thing I would respet the hell out of him. It would show me that they are keeping it 100.

If they lie about HUDS, what else are they lying about? Yes, it was a catchy slogan, and IF it had been true, there wouldn't be a dead Mike Brown. But it appears that he prefers a good slogan to honesty, and he knows that many of his low info followers don't even realize that it never happened as was first reported.

As Jeh Johnson and Bill Bratton said today, comply with the cops PERIOD. Pursue your grievances later. You know, like MOST white folks do.

That cunt who has said he thinks of himself as a god....George Soros.

R23 do you want an award now or something. Shut up queen!

But what is BLM actually doing to combat racism in the police force and to combat police brutality? Inciting race wars like they're doing now is solving NOTHING!! Getting people to hate cops isn't solving anything. Calling every white bitch out on their "privilege" on social media isn't solving anything. That's NOT activism.

Meet with politicians, lawmakers, police commissioners etc.. Try to get some initiatives and programs in place concerning the hiring of police officers and ethics

R36, of course they're not going to bother talking to politicians and commissioners - they want all police and prisons abolished, full stop.

Yeah, good luck with that.

He is hot, I hope nothing bad happens to him.

Does he have the AIDS ..is that what the padded vest is about?

Anybody had him? Very interesting dude. Crazy, but interesting.

Their plan is Allah and the end of gay people EVERYWHERE, R30!

....

He is very articulate.

When will gay lives matter, Deray?

He's allegedly dating the Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey.

Well, if not R45 they're giving a good impression of it. Perhaps, that would be too honest for them.

So he's a Capitalist pig dog lackey then? What a whore

How is it that there are not DOZENS of threads about Deray McKesson? He is a pivotal Black Lives Matter member and a prolific Twitterer.

And he is GAY. Not bi, but GAY. Where's the love?

[quote]He is a pivotal Black Lives Matter member and a prolific Twitterer

And that's a good thing?

I love and follow and communicate with Deray. He is a leader for our times though most of DL won't embrace the BLM movement. McKesson is not our only leader and he is a bit obsessively involved with social media even for me. But people would be wise to follow him. A brilliant, perfectly spoken man, wise, measured and WOKE. He will draw your attention to important matters AND say things that may excite white gays and all men and women to think and act. If he weren't so associated with BLM his credentials and dedication, history and vision would be more fully embraced. Truth is most DL members are just too old and prejudiced to understand. Is black lives matter an imperfect movement? Probably. So was ACT UP and The Freedom Riders.

Ask Deltay to talk openly about the homophobia in the black community, R50. Until then, I'm not interested.

Deray

Intersectionality.

r48, don't you know. Half of DL doesn't like out celebs.

Deray's famous calling to gay black men was to urge us to "come out of the quiet." If you are looking for reason's to put a gay activist down and all you can speak to is the existence of homophobia in the black community while pretending it is conquered in your own R51, then you display little interest in being enlightened or understanding our differences. If you think that gay black men are all going to denounce the lord and our mothers AND wild fucking sex you are living a simple life. I am Black. All the gay black men I know are more freely sexual and freely spoken than any white boys, who tend to just whore. Some blacks and hispanics are downlow or bisexual. Sorry if that upsets you so much. Come to Brooklyn. You will never feel so safe or embraced as a gay man. We don't need a parade for you, come see how black gay men live! Leave your moralizing behind. As long as white men don't understand that black men must focus on our race struggle FIRST AND ALWAYS before one's of sexuality, then you will miss out on some of the best minds and leaders in our nation, who represent both entities. BLACK LIVES MATTER. Gays are already here and protected. Always jealous and still whining. DeRay is a hero.

49 dead. Over 100 injured and killed.

Hahaha!

Omg! Deflect, deflect, deflect! So much bullshit!

R55 is going to be tossing white gays into ovens in 25 years. You watch.

[quote]Come to Brooklyn. You will never feel so safe or embraced as a gay man

hahaha!

r55 = Deray

HAYYY GURL!

What a sad bunch of uninspired old fags. Carry on the way you do. DL queers are so out of touch with their time past by, just like everybody says.

Black gays are at the epicenter of every civil rights movement for change. Not surprising to me that BLM founders are all black lesbians, and its spokesman a black gay man. MLK and the non-violent marches and SCLC was largely orchestrated by one Bayard Rustin, an African American gay man and civil rights activist-largely forgotten by both communities he fought for.

Miss, with all due respect I have my own problems.

[quote] Black gays are at the epicenter of every civil rights movement for change.

Women's suffrage?

R64, Well, that would be an exception for obvious reaons, though it could be argued Sojourner Truth was a lesbian.

maybe black gays would be so kind to spend some time in sub-saharan Africa in the future to help fellow black brethren to improve their horrible...well, pretty much everything when it comes to civil rights. I'd be much impressed with this accomplishment.

Why would any Black American Man be concerned with impressing you R66? Just because YOU have a glory hole in your front hall doesn't make you a gay rights activist. Shut up ya shut in. White fags used to be good for one thing but we don't even need you for that anymore. Don't bother getting up.

[R67] er...I am asian who lives in Asia...so. And no, you or any black gays don't need to impressed me but I will keep my right to judge anyone I like by their behavior or their double standards. Frankly, people in pacific Asia generally hold a very low opinion on blacks and I'd like that to change however black americans don't give them too many chances with that much negative news coming out everyday.

R67 "white fags" Hmmm

R69 He's a Queer. It is to be expected. They're not big on self awareness, either.

We need more people like him.

I'll never understand gay men, who use the F word so loosely.

f&f R67

R61 once again adds a useless post.

Well I'm white and I love r55's impassioned post. Some of you criticize everything!

I am surprised a thread from 2015 is not even at 100 yet for someone like Deray, who has made strides without significant tv exposure. Has Don Lemon ever had him on his show? One would think Don would be a great advocate for him.

I also like R55's post and since I have a thing for smart black men I admit I am wondering if he is well-hung. I know I should not admit it but it's what I thought.

[R76] is a racist who project his fetish based on the stereotype of big black cocks. So muck lacking of self-awareness on display.

How absurd R77 - even P. Diddy said he had his underwear designed so that there was "room enough for the black man"; besides all you have to do is watch gay porn - or straight porn for that matter - to know black men have much larger penises.

Deray must be upset that this thread has devolved into a argument about black mens dick size.

He must also be upset that the American media cares more about terror attacks and political unrest in Europe than black people in the US.

Deray was part of a 4 1/2 hour meeting with Obama this week and was still firmly and eloquently fighting the good fight last night as a guest on Stephen Colbert. DL can continue to degrade and trivialize this movement, but we aren't' going away. Deray is a wonderful and a bit wonky spokesman for not only BLM, but for gay black men. He claims not to be a leader, but he is. I fear for his safety and appreciate him very much.

He's done nothing for gay people.

[quote]DL can continue to degrade and trivialize this movement, but we aren't' going away.

That's great news. Incidentally, what are your movement's primary goals?

[quote] is that what the padded vest is about?

The padded vest is about branding himself. This guy is the biggest starfucker and loves to post selfies with celebs and say they were "talking about the movement". He didn't even show up for the massive BLM march in NYC in the Winter even though he was here. He was too busy "supporting" Netta at her Seventeen magazine photoshoot (ie networking like a motherfucker). Interestingly a lot of BLM people hate him, but he has his crew who will go psycho on his behalf if anyone says it (see Dream Hampton) and white people love him because he's the non-threatening black man of their dreams.

So who is he fucking?

R84, Some rich, white guy. They have an apartment together in San Francisco.

Good interview

DeRay McKesson Lives in Home Owned by Wealthy Law Student

When Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson isn’t leading protest marches, he lives comfortably in a home provided by wealthy donors.

McKesson was arrested last weekend during a protest in Louisiana. His booking sheet shows his home address is a house on a leafy street in suburban Baltimore.

The 2,808 Sq. ft. 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is owned by James and Robin Wood, who are wealthy donors to George Soros’ Open Society Institute.

He lives in a nicer house than I do!

R87, So?

[quote]So?

He comes from privilege and I don't think he realizes that.

Bottom line: the only privilege in America that actually gets you anywhere is green privilege.

[quote]He comes from privilege and I don't think he realizes that.

I repeat: So?

There are black people in Israel. Do their lives matter to BLM organizers?

He's very well-spoken, and a credit to his race.

Deray: AOC and Pelosi are providing a blueprint for how to stand up to Trump. It’s amazing to watch & so necessary.

Leonard Bernstein died too soon. He and his society crowd would have loved this guy.

Oscars Party

Bowdoin guys are always hot.
