Today, Blacks remain politically and economically oppressed. Slavery and Jim Crow were practices that raped our families, our identities and our culture. The Black struggle in America has historical basis and implication. Discrimination against Blacks is very different from discrimination against gays. But you cannot compare homosexuals to Blacks. I was talking with a friend yesterday about gay rights when he declared, "discrimination against gays it's the same as discrimination against Blacks." Opponents of the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) use the same argument concerning the discriminatory practices of the armed forces.
