And I agree as well. A good friend of mine (happens to be African-American) told me that blacks really resent the way gays constantly compare themselves to the civil rights movement of the 1950’s and 60’s. Blacks view that as THEIR struggle, rightly so in my opinion, and they do not care for the way a bunch of privilged white folks of bad moral character are highjacking the civil right legacy for their dubious purposes.
EXACTLY. One of my friends mentioned that. Many Blacks correctly view the civil rights struggle on moral grounds - you can’t discriminate on the basis of how God made you - and they don’t think that God creates homosexuality. They view it as a choice and they do NOT like having that mantle assumed by gays.
Thought when I first heard it a comment made in a discussion years ago by a friend who joked about her permanent tan. She said (in the late seventies) when another friend argued that one day the conservative democrats in the south and the mid-western conservative republicans would merge. She said way back then that someday a religious issue would trigger the Christian African Americans to join with them.....Has the time come: The uniting of three conservative facets creating a “New political party”?
OTOH BO and MO only know what REV Wright has told them....acceptance of all things liberal.
