For Goddess' sakes, don't turn this into an attack on "black lesbians".

[Ken Burch]

(I almost threw up in my mouth a little bit at the thought of having to write that).

Nobody's race or sexual orientation should be used to attack them for their tactical choices.

1. Why should it matter if they are Black Female Lesbians?

They're the ones making a big deal about it to the people who support gender, racial and sexual identity equality.

They are, however, partisans, advancing a really strange agenda on the graves of people who were abused by our system. They can advance their weird ass divisiveness outside the movement to reduce police brutality and see how far they get.

2. "Black Female Lesbians"?

As opposed to the Asian Male kind?

The point is...respond to the agenda...not the "identity".

7. That's what they have choosen to identify as in their statement of purpose

I don't have a problem with them being that. I do have a problem with them trying to splinter the movement that is working toward racial equality on the bodies of the slain.

edit: I mentioned the female part because they mentioned it as well in their mission statement as being a problem. Gender equality is just as important as the rest in my book.

3. Well, gee, George Soros is a black lesbian now, eh?

4. *sigh* the list of groups we aren't allowed to criticize keeps getting longer and longer.

I can't keep up.

5. groups are never the issue.

And nothing these women did had any connection to their sexual orientation.

8. Strangely, the women themselves seem to be claiming otherwise - eom

6. I love black lesbians.

Thanks for the thread, Ken Burch.
