Back in my day, the Duffington Post would at least try to find things from legitimate sources as representation and not clear mockery like this example.

Times have changed. The Duffington Post has sold out.

Good.

what does BLM have to do with pride?

Everything.

that hierarchy of oppression

OO - oppression olympics


they are proud to announce that black lives matter to a gay parade audience

what?

I like the guys writing style.

Some gems:

Pride originated as an event to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, a riot that ignited due to police and state brutality towards queer people, especially trans/queer people of color. Namely, Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera are credited for starting what would go down in infamy that night.

Since that time, Pride has of course evolved and grown, but many say that it has grown increasingly disconnected from its roots, and that the rampant corporatism and police apologist attitudes riddled throughout Pride and within the larger community exist in direct opposition to these roots. Rightfully, BLM (and many other groups) have interrupted Pride parades all over as an act of resistance to this shift and to call-out the community at large.
