43. How in the hell is it racist.
Let me guess, I am not allowed to compare the plight of homosexuals to the plight of african americans. Is that it? So, the comparison is racist? You sound like Bill O'Reilly when he goes nuts about people comparing current events to events of the 40s. If you cannot articulate why my comparison of the denial of marriage to homosexuals is at least a little bit similar to the 'separate but equal' policies of the Jim Crow era, then don't bother responding to my posts.

Oh, and don't drone on about how the suffering of one group exceeds the suffering of another so the comparison is invalid.

Is it racist to note that 70% of african americans voted Yes on prop 8? Is it racist to note the irony in that?

Be a bit more constructive in your comments.
