I do get your point but its generally accepted that culturally a lot of white Hispanics are culturally white. SO yes you are technically right but as to why you made the statement as to it being disingenuous to say Dallas is culturally white for the reasons you listed is even more disingenuous in itself.

As I sated earlier,where are the blacks in high society?I see mostly by far white faces. If its such a huge majority of whites and very few other groups then how is that not to be considered white?

To be fair thats in Muslim countries,not here, you have countries like Sudan,Uganda etc taht have just as bad histories in dealing with LBGT people.
Arabs here are still less open than blacks which was my point.
Latinos are I think a little worse also due to strong toes to Catholic church.Sense church oing among blacks is way down ,you dont have as much aversion to LBGT people like you have in the past

It’s more Anglo Americans in high society anywhere including Atlanta. Just because Atlanta has a large black population and black faces in high position doesn’t mean they are accepted into high society. In many cases these people are nothing more than puppets.

That could be true but how would we know without data? Is there data on it?

You’re right. Africa is another place that has a terrible track record of treating the LGBT poorly. I would add the Carribean islands to that list.

Well yes of course. Thats a given.
However to some degree that is true about blacks in high place but in Atlanta you have people like Tyler Perry,Jewl Solomon of Goggle Startups,Raphael Bostic who is the openly black gay head of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank,Juanita Baranco who with her husbands owns one of Mercedes Benz largest dealerships in the South as well as being on the Board of Regents,HL Russell and his kids who own the company are always been in those circles as that company built a lt of ATlanta landmarks like the former Georgia Dome and then of course you have the CEO and black executives at Atlanta F500 companies.Coca Cola,Regional President of PNC Bank, and so many other companies with high profiles

So if you can show me that in Dallas then please do.

There are not enough words to fully articulate my hatred for Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. It was through these religions that:

1) people were enslaved
2) their cultures destroyed and these vile doctrines forced on them instead
3) tribal type hatred of other groups emerged
4) LGBT people are dehumanized
5) race/ethnic mixing Discouraged
6) women subjugated

Bringing it to the black community, how crazy is it that they took you from your home, destroyed your culture, enslaved your ancestors, and now you’re the most religious race in America? They did this to your ancestors and now you worship their god! That’s hard for me to understand. Arabs too to a degree. We had many other religions like Zoroastrianism, but our homelands are now plagued with the scourge of Islam. Our culture was destroyed and our ancestors enslaved too and most of still pray to their god. Because it was so long ago it’s as if we forget. But in our case the tyranny of Muslim governments prevent us from leaving.
