Is that right?
And if it is, do you have any idea how staggering those numbers really are?
Actually, it's close to 5% of the population being gay.
And yes. I acknowledge it indicates a problem. But NOT INHERENTLY WITH GAYS.

Do the math. How many HIV cases are there, and how many gays in the U.S. have HIV.

It's a SMALL PERCENTAGE. The vast majority of gays DO NOT have HIV.

It's like condemning all blacks just because SOME blacks are incarcerated at a higher rate.


You want to see something else?
Look at the RACIAL DISTRIBUTION for HIV/AIDS. Compare the percentage of blacks in the country to the percentage of HIV infections for blacks.

Does that mean something negative about blacks?

You know FoundIt, that 10% and 5% BS has been long-since discredited - and you KNOW it. Newer, less "agenda-motivated" studies are placing between 1% - 2% - and you KNOW it.

So let's do the math, shall we? Let's use the example of 1,000,000 people.

10,000 of the million people are gay.
990,000 are heterosexual.

Currently it's estimated that 438,000 Americans have AIDS. For our little "example" of a random 1,000,000 Americans, that means there are 1460 of our people who have AIDS.

That means that 876 of 10,000 gays have AIDS.
Only 584 of the 990,000 heterosexuals have AIDS.

9% of homosexuals in America have AIDS.
Less than one-quarter of 1% of heterosexuals in America have AIDS


And you're going to keep saying that this is NOT a homosexual problem? Okay...


And Hey Hey!!!! Check it out!

One of the single greatest problems among black Americans is promiscuity. PERIOD.

Now, why not go ahead and call me a raging racist.

But you could also call me honest.



Take your pick.
