Maphukas more worried about the gay rights argument than they are with just plain human rights...
How backwards is that shit?
......Or how about fighting and pointing out oppression wherever it exists, regardless of the group of people, is making steps toward creating a better world for humans? Especially since this is an issue thats rooted in many fields such as human sexuality, gender studies, religion, and human psychology....fields that are being constantly questioned and researched.....Fields that people are willing to see a new perspective from more easily.
Baby steps, bruh.
How long since black folks been freed from slavery and we still got poor race relations? But we talking about baby steps? When that fucking baby is going to start walking on that issue?
Race is a taboo topic, b.
Societies (especially Western societies) don't like to talk about race because the holocaust has guilted Western societies into admitting possibly racist or prejudiced views. As far as White people go, the two prevailing images of racism are the Klan and the Nazi's, two groups (particularly the latter) that very people want any sort of shared opinions with, despite the fact that racism and prejudice 9/10 are a result of ignorance, miscommunication, or a lack of communication with other groups. If you don't talk about racism, you can't solve it.
As far as POC go, societies don't like to talk about race because its wrapped up in privilege and socioeconomics, two issues and factors that subjective as fuck and that people have very little understanding about. You can tell a White southerner or White Londoner that the slave trade, degradation of Africa, ensuing race system created due to slavery, are still factors in the socioeconomic status of Blacks, but all they see is Black layabouts and criminals living off of the govt'. check and squandering their resources/potential. They cannot fathom the idea of history and a society being in favor of a group of people.
And finally beyond that, the issue of race will never be solved because it will take humanity ON A GRAND SCALE admitting that we're still nothing more than dumb, panicky, apes with a tribe mentality. You could turn everyone on Earths skin tone gray, we'd still group up based on eye color.
Humanity isn't ready for that level of humility to occur.
