CL “Ask B. Scott” - Comment Highlight!

March 21, 2008

I thought B. Scott was a very interesting individual. I’m saddened that hate would force him to have to leave us so soon. It’s awful that a Black Man, no matter what his position on sexuality is, can’t get love from his own people. If we can’t stand together we will be ripped apart divided. And even the bible says it is not our place to judge, only God’s. The simple solution would have been to just not comment or even open the post if it was not something you wanted to see/agreed with. Keep your hate and ugly attitude to yourself. I think B. Scott has a wonderful attitude an disposition about himself, and probably dealing with others ignorance over a long period of time has helped him to develop a thick skin. I have all confidence that he will be alright. But those who allow themselves to condemn others and constantly fester in hate should really watch themselves. Don’t throw stones in a glass house… because everyone “sins”, as I am sure the argument was against this gentlemen. No one is any where near perfect. So don’t think you can judge him on what you perceive is wrong and your own foolishness in your life won’t eventually come to the surface for you to deal with. Let’s actually try to acknowledge the slogan “Stop Hate in 08″

Love muffins, I just want to thank you for continuous support! Yes I do receive plenty of negativity for being myself, but I can’t change the minds and hearts of others, I can just hope that they will better themselves. To view the post, click HERE.

I am very sad. The reactions to B. Scott on Concrete Loop is just sad. I am a straight married female and I have NO PROBLEMS AT ALL with the FABULOUS B. Scott. I visit his site often now and he is a myspace friend. This world is so full of hate. Life is too short to be caught up in this kind of hate. I don’t care if you want to date a rock, that is your business. As long as you are a law abiding good person, I could care less about your “lifestyle” choices. Keep your head up B. Keep doing what you do. My definition of fabulosity is: loving yourself and not giving a damn about what others think. Stay FAB!!

B. Scott I love you..I mean, I FRIGGIN LUV U BOO! You make my days and nights SO interesting with everything you have to say. It saddens me that this happened. Ignorance runs rampid amongst so many..its ridiculous.

I read your blog EVERYDAY! And I love it. I tell my friends the newest news in Hollywood as if I heard it directly from you…they laugh, but your SO “IT”. You are going to supercede the HATE and the harsh criticsms. You already have in so many ways. You shine booboo…
You know it. At least, you make my day.!

Brush them HATAZ off!

The comments on CL broke my heart, it was downright sickening. I love you B. Scott, for who you are, keep doing what you’re doing!

It is for that exact reaction that I stopped regularly visiting Concrete Loop. Angel and her team are great people, but it saddens me that many of her readers are so close-minded and ignorant. I rather get my gossip from a website where I feel welcomed and not continually on guard. We may live in a country of free speech, but I hold tighter to the freedom of choice…and personally, I choose to ignore those who continually attack without attempting to understand and continually justify such ignorance on self-indulgent interpretation of Bible scripture. Those readers who so strongly object to you don’t seem to have a problem with Brian or any other gay men who may provide subject-matter to that blog. Therefore, it is obvious that their issue is not solely on the fact that you are a black gay man…it is more to do with your demeanor which makes it even more insulting and judgemental.

Keep doing YOUR thing, B….and please don’t let the words of those individuals on that website prevent you from being the courageous, faithful, and joyful person you are…it is your damn birthday and folks gotta come out the bag acting a monkey doodle fool on YOUR day…don’t let them steal your SPLENDIFEROUSNESS…

From what I hear about those negative comments on CL, its like I can’t even go to the site because they are there. I don’t even know why CL even allows such stuff on their site. Isn’t it moderated to where those comments cannot be posted, and the people who even dare to post such things can be blocked? Its ridiculous how some negative people are.

Always remember this and this is what I always believe to be true: POSITIVITY = MATURITY whereas NEGATIVITY = IMMATURITY. When someone acts negative/mean-spirited, they act out in an immature manner and appear as though they have some serious mental problems. They are not sane, they are insane. They love to cling to anything positive and try to bring it down. And in all cases, it NEVER works.

There are negative people on my job. Do I give them any attention? Nope. Why? Because negative people are ATTENTION-SEEKERS. They want your attention for no particular reason other than to try to bring you down to their low, worthless level. But you are bigger than that. I don’t talk to negative people on my job, I don’t even hang out with or associate with anyone because they are negative. Negativity is POISON; my health is so important to me and I have enough self-respect to keep my well-being at a positive level.

So B. Scott, I continue to encourage you to do all that you do, keep going because God is saying that what you are doing right now is your calling. He Loves You just like he loves everyone else. He also loves the negative people, but at the same time He don’t like ugly. Let those bastards wallow in their own misery because guess what - what goes around ALWAYS comes around.

Luv ya B.!!

From,

B,

You already know how I feel about you.

I said it DAY one and I’ll say it a million days to eternity.

I love B. Scott all day long.

B Scott - I am really sad that people still act/talk like this and it is even sadder that it is coming from black people.

Black people, especially in the US, spent 100’s of years being discriminated etc etc against by people using ‘god’ and ’society’ and it is sad that people in the black community now use the very same things to discriminate against gay people.

No one is asking for people to like what someone is - everyone is entitled to their own opinions - but to do anything to hold them down (be it verbal, institutional etc) is just disgusting. Especially when part of your argument is that gay black men make it hard for black men to get good jobs etc. If you hold down and discriminate against a group of people for just being who they are then someone is going to do it to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you do not fight to end discrimination full stop then there will always be room for someone to discriminate against you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then you have to ask the question who are you going to turn too? If it is ok to be homophobic then is it ok to be racist, sexist, ageist? Where does it stop and who in the end will benefit?

The thing that makes it worse is that the guy that wrote the comment obviously knew what it is like to be stopped from doing something because of what you are rather then who you are and so to do it to someone else is so sad. If the guy thinks that the solutions to fixing the black man’s image lies in making black gay men act straight then I really do not know what to say.

It’s sad that people are still teaching their kids to hate a whole group of people, just because they act, talk walk different. I was always taught that one is not all and just because you do not like one person’s attitude, actions etc does not mean that they are all like that!!! If people are not hurting anyone, what does it matter!!!! There are bigger fish to fry!!

All you can be is yourself and embrace the things that make you unique.

Much luv

PS. I am from London so sorry if any words or ‘ism’s’ offend – it’s not done on purpose!!!!

Okay no lie, I had never heard of this site or you B until CL. Though I didn’t read the comments (And thank God I didn’t because I would’ve been pissed), I totally fell in love with you and this blog. People are so ignorant, it’s sad to see that people would stoop so low. Just know that there are people out there that definitely don’t think that way of you or anyone gay for that matter. Keep being WHO YOU ARE and we’ll keep lovin’ ya!

RE CONCRETE LOOP HATRED:
B. Scott, I just want you to know that I think that what people had to say was absolutely horrible. I WANT TO SAY THAT I AM A STRAIGHT, FEMALE,CHRISTIAN MOTHER OF SIX BEAUTIFUL, SUCCESSFUL (SO FAR) CHILDREN. Anyone who claims to be a christian and spouts such hatred is like the devil, A LIE! You do not represent me, as a christian. It is simple: WE HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER…THAT’S IT
We have also been told that only GOD can judge another human being, and no one sin is greater than the other, so don’t think you are better than someone else. Those of you who think that you are doing the world a favor by spreading such evil, you are sadly mistaken. GOD is love. period. If you are speading hatred, you are NOT spreading GOD’S love, that’s it. So, please come off of your high horses and learn to love other people and maybe this world will be a better place.

I’m really irritated at CL bloggers. The thing is some bloggers can be so ignorant, and I guess they have a huge population of ignorant bloggers on CL. It’s really unacceptable. I don’t think it has anything to do with being black, since we’re not a collective. It has more to do with a lack of tolerance and compassion.
If you read some of the posts on Perez Hilton or other entertainment sites… the ignorance is in abundance as well (non-black bloggers).
Anyway you look at it… it’s unfortunate. B.Scott has so much to offer, all they had to do was shut-up and read.
Sad.
Erica Nicole on March 21, 2008 at 6:05 pm #

Sorry but I had to post this too, it needs to be said:

I went there out of curiosity, and seen this one blogger named EVE who kept posting very long paragraphs of nothing stupid stuff. She’s one example of a person who doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She even needs a bible to tell her how to do the “right” things in life. What a hypocrite.

In one of her posts she said something like this:

“God does not hate homosexuals. He hates homosexuality.”

Now, I sat there thinking to myself “this girl just contradicted herself, what a dumbass”.

First off, God does not hate ANYONE. And for EVE (who thinks she is ADAM’s husband, rolling my eyes) and people like her to come up in there talking a lot of smack is ridiculous.

You see what I mean? Negativity breeds negativity and it always equals Immaturity. She just made her post look stupid after saying that. And its not just only that one post, but it was like 50 million other posts she did that were extrememly ridiculous.

Yeah, I don’t need to be on CL, I don’t have anything against CL, but there is just too much negativity over there. Like I said, I can’t be around negativity. I’d rather be around positive people, and that’s why I’m on a site such as B. Scott’s.
BE YOURSELF on March 21, 2008 at 6:41 pm #

B. Scott you are such a great person. I know you arent sweating this because we all know its Concrete loops lost. Keep doing you!! YOU ARENT THIS POPULAR FOR BEING SOMEONE YOUR NOT!! God Bless
shanta01 on March 21, 2008 at 8:11 pm #

You know you will always receive love from me, B! No matter how positive a person is, someone else will hate on them, you just have to say “whatever” and keep it moving. Keep doing you, B and I hope to see you on TV soon (maybe the E! network since I get most of my gossip/entertaiment news from TV on this channel!
DEZert on March 21, 2008 at 10:47 pm #

Dear BScott,

Hi, my name is DEZ, and I am a loyal love muffin! I had no idea that readers at CL weren’t showing you love! (”Don’t do it, show some love”). I had to address one reader whose screen name is EVE. Sorry this is long, but you are worth it!

As she stated, “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.” However, when stating one’s opinion, please be sure to have your facts straight. Case in point, quotes from EVE:

“I don’t agree with what gays stand for. How is the total definition of who you are determined by who you choose to have sex with?

Good question. GLBT and even heterosexuality are all definitions based on sexuality. It does not affect the various universal components that make us all human. What do gays stand? I assumed it was equal rights and opportunities based on ability not sexuality.

Not all gays are “supergays” or promiscuous at that. Many are very masculine, love sports, etc, and are not on the DL. There is too wide of a spectrum to verbalize such a generalization in reference to being gay.

No disrespect to EVE,but to assume that there are no homosexuals in her family, “immediate or extended” is a fallacy. Being that we all come from one, homosexuality is in everyone’s family. Just because a person is not open about being gay does not mean it does not exist within one’s family, including hers.

What truly disturbed me was her comment about homosexuality and HIV.(Oh Lawdamercy, Kelly Clarkson…)Homosexuality “is one of the reasons HIV was introduced and ravaged the black community.”

Really? No, but forreal? HIV is by no means a “gay disease.” HIV-1 and 2 originated in West African chimps of the species pan troglodytes. Please tell me she knew that from her education? If not, get familiar. When hunting animals, depending on the weapon used, it is very common for the exchange of blood between the hunter and the hunted.

HIV became dubbed the “gay disease” as a result of Rock Hudson getting the disease. As a result of him being a celebrity, the media began to sensationalize HIV and homosexuality.

I know this LONG B, but it baffles me that she failed to acknowledge anything positive about the soon to be multi-million dollar franchise, that is B. Scott. You are an innovator, a motivator, an entreprenuer, and most importanly a confidant. You are changing lives on a global level. You are one of the reasons why gay teens across the world will no longer want to commit suicicde. You embody love, or as i like to call it, the grace of God, which is love.

By being who you are, you change one’s perspective, which inturn changes people’s lives. Continue on this path. B.Scott, you are a lifesaver of assorted flavors.

Sincerely,
DEZ aka Love Muffin
LOVe you B on March 21, 2008 at 11:30 pm #

Not only are you beautiful, inspiring and have confidence that makes each person who listens to you want to love and accept themselves. you believe in youself and are a positive role model for all. Those dirty sluts like paris lindsay kim k and so on that do nothing and have all these little girls look up to them while setting a bad example which is surely to ruin young kids lives who will become strippers or porn stars or coke heads or racist so on from following them. When people see you they are inspired to be who they are, share that with the world and follow your smart business and saavy entreperneural ways. You are what this world needs not dirty talentless sluts and retards like 50 cent and shit like that. I love you you are solid as a rock and I want to be just like you. Love you xoxo
LOVe you B on March 21, 2008 at 11:34 pm #

also you will do more good than any of these “celebrities” ever could because while a lot of people may not admit it, they love watching you and are addicted to you and you lovely spirit. some may be scared to admit that they have admiration for you, but thats a reflection of their own lack self confidence which hopefully you will inspire them to improve. i think you are such a good example of positivity this world desperately needs i truly wish you luck in your career, and please know you do make a difference, a very positive influential one. mwahhh

Double Kisses, B. Dahlink!!!

I felt compelled to comment on this one. I don’t know the details of what happened, but I think it is a shame that Concrete Loop has given into hatred and bigotry and decided to end the column. Why give in to the voices of a few who are so ridden with fear and judgment and retardation that they can’t even see straight? That doesn’t make any sense to me.

On the evolutionary scale, we are talking about some folks who have yet to develop their minds beyond a fear-based, superstitious “religiosity” and are incapable of higher-level thinking (that is, thinking beyond fear).

Why in the world should they feel like they’ve won?

But anyway, I’m done on that. You know how you do. Just keep doing your thing and enlightening us and freeing us with your passion, your pain, your joy, your wisdom, your failures, in other words, your glorious humanity!

Toodles,Dahlink!

Love,
DMB

Yes, it is sad that BLACK people have to be that way. And what’s even sadder is that they are also on this site….they just don’t know it. If you look at the comments posted for the Bow Wow and Omarion pictures, you will it. Alot of people will say that they made certain comments because these young men deny who they are, lol. If they are, SO WHAT. Who are you to “MAKE” someone come out, lol. Actually discussing who they think the “bottom” is. WTF is going on people? It’s a shame that this world is like this. It’s a shame that there are people who don’t even realize what they are. Some of the same people who claim they LOVE B.Scott, are the same ones who are judging other people on LOOKS, SEXUALITY, RUMORS, GOSSIP, AND PICTURES. Is that irony at its best or what, lol. Check ya selves people. Think…..
Erica Nicole on March 22, 2008 at 7:20 am #

I agree R.A.S.Berry, there are people who say one thing and then utter something else that is totally different. The one thing that I have a strong pet peeve about is when people don’t really mean what they say. And that is so annoying. Its one of the reasons why I have trust issues today, but I’m learning how to open up more. But that is the one thing that I hate about certain people - is that they never can keep it real.
TJ on March 22, 2008 at 9:49 am #

It wasn’t meant to be. They weren’t ready, and that’s ok. I have come to realize that it is hard to be a young black man right now because all that people know of a black male comes from the media and what the media show is a very small portion of the community. Yeah we have Tyler Perry, Will Smith and ya’ll can name a few. But they show more knuckleheads (sound like my grandma) & “hard” black males that people feel like that’s what a black male is and every other black male who doesn’t fit into that category is not a man or is disgracing all men & black men. It’s bull & it’s sad but it is what it is right now. Thou cannot change others, thou can only be themselves in order for others to change themselves.
Bird on March 22, 2008 at 9:51 am #

This is the first time I’m hearing of this. I just don’t get what the big deal is. Am I the only person who grew up with gay people? I thought they were everywhere. Why are people having such a tough time accepting them when they have grown up with them and know their lifestyle is not a choice?

Anyway, it’s Concrete Loop’s loss because Miss B. is going to be just fine. I’m waiting on the TV show. I don’t know if your feelings were hurt B., but if they were I hope you shook it off quickly and realized that you were dealing with lost people or possibly even cyber bullies who appear perfectly normal in real life. The net often brings out the worst in people.
Tonya on March 22, 2008 at 6:43 pm #

I left you a message on your Myspace about this, but I will say it again, the Concrete Loop Haters can Kiss Your Ass and Your Lovemuffins Asses, the E-Ballers need to get a life, cause you are going to keep on Doing You and we are going to keep on LOVING You
princessoftheworld on March 24, 2008 at 8:51 am #

This is so sad…BScott has helped my life! by being himself and not allowing other people to dictate his presentation of himself. Being authentic is one of the most dangerous and courageous things a person can do. I’ve always said do you…be you as long as you are not hurting anyone. (although when he does his seductive dances to the seductive music i can see folks getting hurt) but anyway! BScott helps millions of people…seriously! and for those who don’t get him…he is not for you…so stop staring at him and commenting on him because folks don’t need to be saved from him….we need to be saved from abusive people who use words to bruise or hurt the emotions of others!
