Can We Have A Toughtful/Respectful Discussion Of Civil Rights Versus Income Inequality ???

172. "Blacks are overwhelmingly Democratic voters."

Have you noticed this is also true of GLBT and Jews? Both groups which are constantly accused of having disposable income or being rich? Which groups are the primary victims of hate crimes? African-Americans, GLBT, and Jews, the top three. The last two groups are often accused of not pulling their weight. All three groups are overly criticized when any member of our groups wanders off the field to the other side. Democrats lost an election? Notice all the articles about those groups being placed under a microscope.

All those groups have various desires, concerns, and trials and tribulations, sometimes similar, sometimes very different, but what seems to be a constant is we are not considered equals, yet are supposed to act as if we are! Even worse, we are often pitted against one another. Gee, I wonder who is doing that?! Just the Republicans?! Naaah!

Social justice...civil rights...EQUALITY...is often taken for granted by those who don't ever have to consider it or can't see past their own noses.
