41. OP doesn't say that blacks should be more supportive of gays.
Unless I missed it. He does say this:


>>>It's a great tragedy that the two communities are not more mutually supportive and bound up in each other's quests for justice and freedom.>>>

That's hard to argue with.

Personally, I'd take it the next step:

If one hasn't learned thru suffering to ID with others enduring a parallel ( not *identical*) marginalization, one hasn't learned much from the experience of being marginalized.

>>but the system is what it is, marginalising to distract that we really are all the same, whatever colour, gender, sexual orientation, place of birth, etc. And it's worked well for them, the System, we nip and bite at each other while they carry on their travasties of fake wars and fake enemies for distraction, and mega ca>>>

Ya got this part right fer sure.
