As a gay white German, I've always wondered how minorities can shout "discrimination!" on the one hand and then discriminate further down the line in their own community or against other minorities? For example, gay xenophobes, or gays who despise drag queens and trans people. - Apparently we all still have a lot to learn about discrimination and open-mindedness, not just the majority ...
There has been horrible homophobia in Black communities. Many of us were raised in it and gladly many of us are unlearning but not enough. I am learning that every community has their own issues with discrimination towards subgroups and for me it’s all about communication and reaching out to people you do not understand or aren’t like you.
you must be joking?! the lgbtqai+ community does the effing same. especially white queer people want inclusion in the mainstream but are exclusive to a lot of other people e.g. black and brown queer people.
1. Why does a white gay men has to insert himself in Black on Black conversations? 2. Homophobia is everywhere and also very easy to find in Germany. It just seems like you want to say something against "minorities" .
All what was said about Africa/Ghana is negative, You can be black german without discussing been African, your guest was not proud of being black/African/Ghanian... Next time please discuss something positive about the continent
Thank you for your contribution. I am sure he does love Ghana. He said it on many occasions and spending that time with him I didn’t get the impression he didn’t. What I got from the conversation was that his experience in Ghana and with Ghanaians is different from yours or mine and he has his qualms with Ghana and that’s fine. It doesn’t have to be praise all the time. For instance I love Ghana but I hate the fact we are so small minded and never take anything serious. We are backwards and lack a progressive business mind. Offcourse not all but the majority in my opinion. Saying that Ghana is the best place I’ve ever lived. So it’s OK for him to judge by his experience. Thanks you.
@@ConvosXpodcast Every Soceity has it problems, with each person with their own unique problems; but i'll beg to dissagree that we are backwards, we are young (African Countries), conservatives with a touch of progressiveness.
And you are very much entitled to that opinion. We have different experiences. As long as we both love the country and the people in it. That’s fine. A little criticism is also fine.
@@ConvosXpodcast Creating your country and acknowledging the flaws are fine and important. This is the only way we progress. But he definitely was sh...ing on Ghana and uplifting the German or Western society and mindset. He basically said he needed to change his total identity, to live comfortably in Germany. But even so that he know critics his own people when they doing things the Ghanaian way. Even comparing a so called 1. World country to a developing country does not make sense. Most African countries got their "Independents" in the 60's and are still suffering because of colonization and neo colonialism. It feels like he totally forgets, which people are one of the biggest reasons why Africa countries are in the position there are.
I don’t think it’s that deep a conversation as far as colonialism etc goes. His experience in Ghana was not always very good based on his sexuality, in Germany he felt protected and accepted. That would make anyone feel a way about their own people though you love them. I am saying it’s a frustration based on his experience not the fact he hates Ghana because we spent about 5 or so hours together and most we talked about was being Ghanaian and about Ghana. It’s easy for us to sit on the side and criticise someone for not praising Africa enough but we may not be able to walk in his shoes or deal with what he has had to back home. I get you get that impression from this conversation but I am here to tell you. He is very much a Ghanaian who has found comfort in another country. Only if his own country could grant him that comfort maybe things would be different.
