"you can't be pro-black and hate straight black men" places a bullseye on conflicted people who feel a sense of pride about being black while having suffered at the hands of straight black men it's damn near trying to invalidate the experiences of harmed people while telling them the level of hurt you deem acceptable it sounds very much like "you cant enjoy the perks of living in America and hate racism"
