Black Gay Professor Don Belton Murdered In His Own Residence. His Death Exposes Hypocrisy & Gay Racism Of America’s LGBT Community!
Don Belton, a 53-year-old black gay English professor at Indiana University, was allegedly murdered by a 25-year-old white male Michael J. Griffin. According to court documents, Griffin admitted to stabbing Belton during an argument on Sunday. Belton was stabbed several times in the back with a 10 inch knife.
Griffin was a Marine and he served in Iraq. According to media reports, Griffin told the police that Belton was the aggressor.
His ex girlfriend called the police to let them know she believes he probably killed professor Belton.
Professor Belton was a writer, he wrote the novel “Almost Midnight” he also edited an anthology on black male masculinity.
Bloomington police believe the murder was a “crime of passion.”
In fact, according to media reports, professor Belton left a detailed diary and he mentions Griffin in his diary recently. According to one diary entry, professor Belton said he was “very happy” that Griffin entered his life. Meanwhile, Griffin claims he was sexually assaulted twice by professor Belton. The two men obviously knew each other. The question is, what kind of relationship did they have?
I suspect Griffin is a classic closet case. Griffin probably had sex with professor Belton freaked out due to his internalized homophobia by murdering the professor.
On the gay websites Queerty and Towleroad there isn’t any “outrage” that professor Belton was murdered due the fact he was black. Some gay bloggers are actually siding with Griffin of course because he is white. I have also read some racist and offensive comments about professor Belton.
Since Belton was African-American, the paucity of humanity and respect is due to gay racism. Some bloggers are criticizing Belton about his sex life and age. The consensus of the cruel comments are that professor Belton was a desperate middle age man. What right do bloggers have to criticize a man who cannot defend himself since he is deceased?
Since professor Belton was a black gay man, he’s not a member of America’s LGBT community. Professor Belton was viewed as “the other” he was ” just a black man” and not a “black gay man”.
Whenever white gays want support from black people they talk our similarities in relation to civil rights. The reason some blacks don’t support the white gay community is because some are suspicious of white gays and their motives. However, professor Belton’s death is a tragedy and he is viewed as an outsider by some white gays due to race.
Wow, can I just say yuck! Some gay bloggers are calling the alleged murderer “cute” and “hot”. Where is the sensitivity? Where is the humanity?
Some gay men are racists the comments on Queerty and Towelroad are just disgusting and disappointing! A gay man was murdered but since the gay man was black and not white some of these white queer bloggers could care less. The queers on the blog Towelroad & queerty are saying the killer is good-looking that’s abhorrent! There is so much apathy for professor’s Belton’s tragic death the comments on the web underscore how racist the LGBT community is!
Here is an offensive superfluous comment the white gay Village Voice writer Michael Musto wrote about professor Belton’s death on December 30th 2009.
“In any case, an entry in Belton’s journal was found and it expressed delight that someone named Michael had entered his life.
Don’t ever write an entry like that!”
Musto’s comment is pernicious for criticizing professor Belton and blaming professor Belton for his own death! Michael Musto comment is callous and disrespectful!
I can honestly say, no wonder some black gays are very critical of the mainstream LGBT community. I doubt professor Belton’s death will be a big news story in the gay media this tragedy will probably be buried in the back pages. However, if a racial reverse occurred you better believe the mainstream white gay media would be “outraged.” The apathy, hypocrisy, and gay racism is deleterious. I am glad the mainstream media are treating professor Belton’s murder seriously because this is a heinous crime!

Movie Review: The Princess & The Frog Is A Wonderful Movie!!!
Yesterday, Eileen and I saw the Disney film “The Princess & The Frog” in downtown Toronto at the AMC theatre. I arrived at the theatre a bit late. We were supposed to see the film at 4:00pm but we caught the next screening at 5:00pm.
Of course, everyone knows “The Princess & The Frog” is Disney’s first film with a black princess. I am so impressed with the storytelling, the subtle ways Disney discussed the issues of race & class.
I also like the romance between Prince Naveen and Princess Tiana. I admit I was wrong, it doesn’t matter that Naveen is not black the point is Naveen loved Tiana. The idea that love should have no colour barrier. I think I allowed the controversy to cloud my judgment.
The movie is set in the 1920s, in New Orleans. The Disney animators did an an excellent job of discussing the underling social issues of the 1920s.
For instance, Tiana’s good friend Charlotte is a rich, spoiled, white girl she lives in a mansion. However, Tiana lives with her family in a modest house in a segregated neighborhood. Tiana’s works two jobs because she wants to open her own restaurant. Tiana is turned down for a mortgage due to racism.
Meanwhile, Prince Naveen arrives in New Orleans and he is a playboy, his family has cut him off of his inheritance. Prince Naveen is tricked by the villain Dr. Facilier also known as the “Shadow Man”. Naveen is tricked by Dr. Facilier and he is turned into a frog. Prince Naveen convinces Tiana to kiss him but she’s turns into a frog too. Naveen and Tiana travel to the bayou in search of a mysterious old voodoo priestess her name is Mama Odie.
Mama Odie she is a wise old woman Naveen & Tiana seek her help because they want to become human again. Mama Odie tells Tiana and Naveen that the secret is within themselves. Along the way, Naveen and Tiana meet Louis the Alligator and Raymond the firefly. The movie is predictable, but I love the music, the storyline, romance, and the comedy.
