Actual comment to the above clip on the gay Towleroad Blog by someone calling himself “Jeri Curl” …
Blacks act just like a sub-human species without respect for the preciousness and beauty of life. I do not understand them. They are very different from other people: so intensely angry. They’re always shooting, beating and killing each other or anyone else. They’re openly rude wherever you go, they drive like they’re insane, they behave carelessly as if they have nothing to live for and they attack you for being "racist" if you say anything about it. YET THEY ARE ALWAYS THE "VICTIM". Talk about a HUGE case of cognitive-dissonance. No respect for anyone…while demanding it of everyone. Disgusting.
I can’t stand people with a sense of entitlement no matter what race but let’s face it - the vast majority of people in this country with a HUGE sense of entitlement are black. Most sane people hate them for that because: 1) WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN DAMN PROBLEMS, and 2) we neither blame nor expect solutions from other people for those problems.
AND while I love my president it is entirely possible for me to hate black people who are stupid without being a racist. I love Al Gore and I hate white people who are stupid, like Rush Limbaugh and anyone named Bush. I love the Dalai Lama but hate stupid Asians like Kim Jong IL. No difference.
Yo blacks: wake up to what real equality smells like. Sit down, shut up and realize you share the planet...and the goddamn bus.

Hmm. I find this all very interesting. Maybe I’ve been living under a rock, but I suspect there’s a fair amount of tension between the predominantly white gay community and the black community, judging by the harsh response of so many (presumably) gay posters to this clip. I’m reminded of last year’s passing of the California Referendum that banned gay marriage. It was a close call but the gays lost out. Exit polls showed that white, Asian, and Hispanic voters were mostly against the Referendum (i.e., supported gay marriage), while in sharp contrast the majority of black voters were for it and thus tipped the scale. The irony, of course, is that it was not that long ago that interracial marriage (i.e., between blacks and whites) was illegal in this country.

Funny how perspective changes things. I read the main post and asked, "Hmm, what does this say about relations between Asians and Blacks?" After reading the associated comments, you asked the same between Gays and Blacks. Tell you what, let's split the difference and ask this dude. After all he's willing to do drag for the cause!
Oh my god, this dude's impersonation isn't even as outrageous as the real thing. Too funny.
As for Asian/Black relations, I would assume it's the same as it's always been: guarded. But then, we have to be specific. I suspect blacks hate the Koreans most of all because, well, Koreans are pretty racist and make little attempt to hide it (following them around their stores, etc.). Of course, this all exploded after the Rodney King verdict wherein Korean shopowners found themselves defending their businesses in black neighborhoods and all that. That, I think, was the height of bad relations between the two. But I could be wrong.
Anyway, things have cooled down a bit I would imagine.
Oh, and here's some more to cut and past into your browser:

"Dumb, ignorant Blacks, (and we all know that most Blacks are anti-gay, right?) who refuse to acknowledge that I am right are really gonna be pissed at the Mormons."
