Racism is like a Cadillac, they bring out a new model every year.

If you stick a knife in my back nine inches and pull it out six inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. The progress comes from healing the wound that the blow made and they haven’t even begun to pull the knife out much less try and heal the wound. They won’t even admit the knife is there.

A month ago, when 49 people were slaughtered in a gay club, we were told the blame lay at our feet, because if only everyone were allowed to carry a gun, we’d be safe.

Today, after a black man was held down, shot at close range and murdered, and we’re told he would have been safe if only he hadn’t been armed.

Which is it?

The majority of LGBTQ New Yorkers who have filed complaints with the city alleging police brutality or misconduct in the last five years are black and Hispanic, according to a new report [PDF] on LGBTQ-related complaints from the Civilian Complaint Review Board.

Nearly 50% of LGBTQ complainants are black, 34% Hispanic, 16% white and about 1% Asian. In one substantiated complaint from 2013, an officer called a civilian a “faggot” and “faggot-ass” and told him to “go back to the hood.”

While the majority of complaints regard incidents that took place in the West Village, many complaints were also filed in the 73rd, 75th, and 77th Precincts, encompassing sections of Crown Heights and East New York.

“Routinely we see trans women being stopped and accused of engaging in sex work, and they’re just walking down the street,” said Shelby Chestnut, director of community organizing at the New York City Anti-Violence Project. “We’re seeing this predominantly happening to LGBTQ people of color. The allegations people make to us correlate exactly with this report.”

We live in a world where getting caught peeing outside can turn you into a 'sex offender' but violently raping someone gets you probation.

Yeah...

Who else can’t wait until they get their first apartment with their girlfriend and get to sleep with them in a big bed and have lazy Saturday mornings and go to the farmers market and hold hands and buy flowers for the kitchen table and just finally feel at peace with the world in general because you’re in each other’s lives forever?
