"Some black clergy see no good presidential choice between a Mormon candidate and one who supports gay marriage, so they are telling their flocks to stay home on Election Day. That's a worrisome message for the nation's first African-American president, who can't afford to lose any voters from his base in a tight race."
I want to start off by saying that to me discrimination by any human being to
ward another because of who they are is ludicrous. We all have been in situations where someone has discriminated against us because we were bigger, smaller, darker, whiter, gay, straight, catholic, or Muslim. We know how much it hurt inside when we were made fun of at one point in our lives and felt like an outcast.
What baffles me is that someone who is a minority and knows the struggles of what it was like to have to fight for their equal rights can turn around and tell another group of people who are fighting for their rights that they don't deserve to have them. âDr. King never publicly welcomed gays at the front gate of his beloved community. But he did leave behind a key for them - his belief that each person is sacred, free and equal to all to others,â says Long, also author of the upcoming âKeeping it straight? Martin Luther King, Jr., Homosexuality, and Gay Rights.â
Do we really have to go another billion years with ignorance, no common sense, and no heart? How long will it really take us to realize how much others are hurting because of our ignorance.:eek:
