Since like 2 months ago...and its not even final yet.
basic rights have been achieved by black americans for the most part. Black americans have problems with subversive, insitutional shyt thats harder to target. To say we haven't made gains in basic areas is an outright lie.
i didn't say black people haven't made gains -- But the results of misguided goals and superficial gains are beginning to manifest. We tricked ourselves into gaining superficial and symbolic Bs because (like most americans) we didn't understand the truth about America and poverty. And people can always get married. I'm assuming you're talking about being recognized by the state.
FYI, the first marriages weren't recognized by the state and are older than the 'state'. You can have the ceremonies and live as a married couple and the government isn't going to come in and assassinate you. You can hold marches and be pro gay rights and start movements and the government will never try to break up your group, tap your phones, or Fred Hampton your family. Their is no huge social political agenda and movements against gays. The police aren't gonna pull you over for driving while gay and the number of hate crimes against gays isn't really comparable to any other group.
Either way gays don't want the basic human rights that blacks had to fight for. Gay 'others' have always had basic rights -and black gays gain when blacks gain... our issues should have a focus and not splinter off into homoville. Gay black people should focus on black issues - but that's just my opinion. I can see people getting behind gays more if they fought for whatever rights they are missing instead of fighting for validation. That validation is something they will never get because they are a functioning mental defect that pushes it's agenda towards children and towards TV/movies. So of course there's that push back. less than 5% of the population has messages on kids shows - FOR what?? maybe they should fight to received the benefits as a couple. They could have easily won tax, life and death rights for civil unions. They want marriage recognized by the feds for validation. I could have a ceremony with my homeboy and we can wear rings and be husband and husband... and it would be ok. Everyone we knew would know we were married. MI wouldn't recognize that shyt.. but that's what civil unions are for. Of course gays can't focus on that point - for the same reason they want men to be considered women and share woman locker rooms. validation for alternative lifestyles. alternative to what's natural for our species.
