Blacks angered by gays' metaphors

In the battle for same-sex "marriage," homosexual rights activists have been using civil rights metaphors to advance their cause.

"I am tired of sitting at the back of the bus," said one 37-year-old California man who recently went to San Francisco to "marry" his male partner.

[Jeff Chandler]

It's about time.

[Richard Kimball]

Blacks have always been the loss leader for the Rats. Whenever the Rats want to advance an agenda, they equate it with the Civil Rights movement, and anyone who opposes them with the guys who bombed the church in Alabama.

It looks like they might finally be getting fed up. Pedophilia is next.

[CzarNicky]

When your enemy is in the process of destroying himself don't interfere.

[EGPWS]

Just another of many chinks in the rapidly weakening armor of the dem's political power base since Dubya has taken office.

[mcenedo]

so this is why the 'Rats can't support same sex mariage - they added it up and figured it would cost more black votes than gay votes.

Wonder which way the gay black vote goes on this one.

[armymarinemom]

It's about time that they are starting to recognize that they are being used and abused by liberals. True equality is recognizing that people can stand on their own two feet instead of being treated like a pet puppy tied up in the back yard.

I berated an instructor in a company "diversity" program for doing this. He put a powerpoint presentation up on a screen with physical traits that are found in humans, but he slipped in sexual orientation next to skin color of course.

I had him looking like a complete fool by the end of the day. What a moron.

[Paleo Conservative]

I love a fight between DemocRAT party constituent groups.

[exit82]

Tell us more. I sat through one of these events about ten years ago. Made me very uncomfortable as I am a conservative,evangelical, white Republican. Earned absolutely no points!

But if you can tell us more about making this person look like a moron, it might help others who are routinely placed in this awkward situation in the name of "diversity".

Gays were never called three-fifths human in the Constitution

Neither were Blacks. Article 1 sec 2 (in a now obsolete passage) describes how segments of the States' population would be counted for apportionment of direct taxes and for the size of the House of Representatives delegation. It is there that the ratio of three-fifths appears in connection with the slave population. The passage makes no reference to anyone's humanity.

I've always said the homosexuals picked up a small pit bull thinking it was a puppy when this Equal Rights vs. Homos vs. Black Americans thing came along. The homosexuals would have been so much better off if they had made it a right-handed vs. left-handed argument. Idiots.

[little jeremiah]

Homosexual agenda ping!

Finally! Of course, black conservatives got it a long time ago.

Backlash, anyone?

I like this statement:

***People in black churches are watching this marriage debate, "and they are saying to themselves, 'There is something to this that is not right. It's not right at all,'" said the Rev. Jeffrey L. Brown, a Cambridge, Mass., pastor who has joined others in the Black Ministerial Alliance of Greater Boston.***

(Pingify me if you want on/off this list. It be busy!)

[PizzaDriver]

The "Crats" have always let the "offended & existing" group declare certain words as EVIL.
EVIL words may only be used among members of the group & within that group.
Blacks can use the "N word". Hispanics can use the "WB word". ETC.

Why wont the DNC support the same to "Marrieds"?

Let Gay Couples find a new Word or Phrase, for their Unions. Grant them their Protections and Rights; But not that WORD.

Gays can share "Union", "Hitched", "Spouse", "Better half", etc.

But MARRIED is taken!

[teldon30]

Ditto...thought the same thing.....

[AlienCrossfirePlayer]

Grant them their Protections and Rights; But not that WORD.

If Gay unions are recognized in law with parity to marriage, how long will it take before the word falls too? Gays choose their lifestyle and civilization does not owe them the perquisites of marriage. The opportunity to marry a member of the opposite sex is available to all. The claim of discrimination is bogus.

Here's a question for your values-based diversity trainer...and it is a training of what your values "SHOULD" be in the workplace. They want to change you.

Ask him when it is appropriate to discuss sex in the workplace? He'll tell you it's not, but then you should ask why the company allows homosexuals to do it...since it is irrelevant and inappropriate.

This type of diversity training attacks the belief system of most Americans. Homosexuality has never been acceptable in civilization. This type of diversity training has no redeeming value and it is demoralizing and intolerant towards people of faith who believe homosexuality is wrong. What culture in the last three thousand years has embraced this type of behavior, and why would your company want you to change your values for this nonsense.

[LibertarianInExile]

That's a GREAT point! How would you know someone's homosexual if they weren't discussing their sexuality in the workplace in violation of workplace regs otherwise!?!? Sounds like a wonderful harassment complaint waiting to happen!

[Clock King]

What do you mean "about time"? I've been saying for years, don't believe the LIES about Black people voting Democrat 90% of the time. That is and alway has been a Leftist lie perpetuated by their media lapdogs.
