How Bigots Help Us (Cross posted from LGBT)

1. I guess if you cannot be good

be good at being bad.

I had a german shepard in my face once when I was a child and the dog was as big as a horse is to me today. When I saw that news of that man putting those dogs on those people, and I was still a child, it affected me deeply. My family was not racist. My first haircut was from a black barber that my father went to. The worst thing you could call my dad was a Patti. He would some times pat the head of a black man for good luck. But he was never raised that way, and saw discrimination practiced in the Navy, and when the ironworkers were integrating he worked with and trained black men, and he was a cracker jack ironworker. Made the discovery channel documentary on the building of the Mackinaw Bridge. There is a point to the professor, and yet so few remember the horrors of it, and so many are led to believe that the government does too much to help blacks, that they will not lift a finger to help blacks.

I want you lgbt people to realize that there is a backlash and a real reaction on going against you, and against the government that dares stand up for you. And you must see what it takes for you to have your civil rights against such resistance, and understand that this in no God given right exercised against you, but a privilege granted by this people in the constitution. The churches have their privilege to protect them against each other in control of the government. There is no protection against them if they make common cause against civil rights. Our government should exist to defend our rights, and not defend those who stand against our rights. All privilege must end, and equality and mutual respect should reign.
