13. It drives me crazy that some people think that civil rights should only

Edited on Tue Feb-24-04 09:19 PM by kayell

apply to their favorite oppressed minority. Blacks have it worse than gays, so gays shouldn't speak up. Jews have it worse than Palestinians, so they shouldn't speak up. We haven't passed the ERA, so why should we work on this. :eyes:

Is there some reason that we can't acknowledge that all struggles for human rights and dignity are important? It absolutely drives me wild when a group who has been horribly persucuted then proceeds to do the very same thing to someone else. It really does damage to any belief I have in the abilities of human beings to evolve.
