Blacks in the United States of America should think twice before joining the band wagon in trying to deny any group of people their basic human rights.
It is okay to disagree with the lifestyle of other but it is not okay to deny others their rights because of your conservative beliefs.
Many blacks use the bible to denounce the GBLT community forgetting that it is same bible the slave owners and colonials had used to put blacks in a separate category of servitude. How soon we forget. It is not our place to dictate the way others should live their lives. We all have one life to live and it is not right to cheat a person out of their way of expressing that life.
The Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the 50-year-old civil rights organization founded by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and others, is seeking to remove the president of its Los Angeles chapter in response to his support of same-sex marriage in California. Dr. King would have been disappointed with the short memory of the black population. More than any other race you Blacks should have a deep appreciation for the human rights of others. It took Blacks more than 300 years to get that right and even today it is on shaky ground. Think about that and then see whether you could open your heart to help another group get their rights.
