How accusatory using "you" repetitively. Further, marriage is not a civil right and continuing in that vain offends the American African community. Many people fail to ask the very important question of some individuals, "How do you define marriage?" Of course, considering where you are from and reading other of your comments, I just consider the source.
Offending African American, maybe a few but overall I don't think so: The NAACP's Legal Defense Fund filed a brief on submitted to the Supreme Court in March
The 73-year-old civil rights organization was founded to battle racial discrimination in the courts. No surprise, then, that the LDF was at the Supreme Court last week fighting for the V****g Rights Act. But it also had no problem arguing that the struggle for marriage e******y for same-sex couples is in line with the battle against the separate but equal doctrine that blocked b****s from pursuing the American dream.
Of course, the nature of discrimination against gays and lesbians differs fundamentally from de jure racial segregation, just as racial discrimination differs from discrimination based on sex and other suspect classifications to which heightened scrutiny applies. But DOMA and other laws that purposefully infringe on the rights of gay people are analogous to the racial caste system effectuated under separate but equal in an important respect: they create and perpetuate a social hierarchy that is premised on the superiority of one group over another.
By virtually any measure, gays and lesbians have been subjected to systemic discrimination throughout our nations history, resulting in their ongoing subordination as a class. And DOMAs express purpose is to create and perpetuate a hierarchy that disadvantages gay people based on their sexual orientation

Isn't it great how liberals like to change the language! Much thru 'political correctness'. A student in Australia hit the nail on the head when he described PC.
'Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by the mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of s**t by the clean end.'

I don't know how old that student may have been but I am quite sure that he hasn't made an effort to pick up that piece of sh** by the clean end. Libs really do believe you can do that. :mrgreen:
