The term "on the down low" is very specific to a recent phenomena in Black culture where men who are not typical homosexuals engage in homosexual behaviour in secret. Usually while also engaging in heterosexual behaviour.
I have read about this in mainstream publications. It does not mean white men are not doing the same thing. It is just a term given to this recent behaviour in the Black community.
If you do a little digging you will also find that this behaviour has shown up in some Black Apostolic / Pentecostal / Charismatic churches. Preachers have been caught or accused of homosexual activity while also engaging in heterosexual sex.

I haven't talked about this term and don't really care about it. Aim your remarks about this term at someone else. I haven't made an issue of it. MOW, you, Billy Graham, and your grandma can talk about "Down low" all you want. I really don't care.
THIS is what I've objected to:
"I am personally aware of this type of behavior among some black preachers."
This shouldn't have been said. He brought race into a discussion and IT DIDN'T BELONG HERE!!!
