they have the attitude of "you blacks owe us b/c we helped you" minimizing the struggle that took over 100 years and is still not finished. Also, it seems to hold blacks to a higher standard than the rest of the general population, which is nothing new, it happened with Obama as well. Civil rights was a slow process and it seems like people don't realize the intense effort it took by blacks to slowly get our rights, and to then get our rights enforced. The tactic that I've seen some take by telling a black person that being gay right now was like being black during Jim Crow or anything close to slavery is just asking for anger and makes people not even want to listen to their POV. This is not necessarily related to the Warren stuff, I saw it more blatantly after Prop 8 passed.
