All-gay school...

See, this is fucked up. YOU weren't exactly plucked from a cotton field, and neither was anyone you've ever known in your life. Matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if no one you've ever known, ever knew anyone who had.

Again though, you're not thinking forward. You're thinking only about "well, I'm on the shit end of the stick now". You're not thinking of how it can be fixed, you're only thinking of how it's bad now.

Oh, believe me, I am NOT one of those that walk around expecting handouts just because I am of a particular race.

One must WORK to be successful.

But you can't be so blind as to suggest that AA isn't needed at all during these times.

Shit man, civil rights were awarded to non coloreds less than 60 years ago!
60 years!!! That is less than a full generation of a family.

Gays having ONE school is not "segregation". Christ, again, the school does not ban heterosexuals so it ISN'T segregation!!!!

Look at it this way- you build a store and there are only ramps to the doors and NO steps - does that mean you are only allowing wheelchair invalids in your store and not people who can walk?? No, it does not.

We do not live in a perfect world and yes things need to change. I am NOT for reparations. I am NOT for building a slew of schools where all gays must attend.

I am merely saying that ONE school for homosexuals does NOT mean that all gays are going backwards.

There are more ways than one to advance a society. Just because gays have tv shows catered to them does not mean that they are "in the clear" from mistreatment and/or harrassment.

My point is, there's so much complaining about repression and shit, and not enough being done that will really fix it. And the stuff that is being done with the intention of fixing it, is only making things fucking WORSE.

If you FTL have THE answers to all of this racism bullshit then please, let me hear it.

Seriously. Sincerely.

I interviewed for a job yesterday. There was an EOE form for me to sign, along with some other stuff. Now, if I were to find out that I was much more qualified than a minority candidate for the job, but he got it because he was a minority and they had to do it, don't you think I'd be pretty fucking pissed off? Do you think I'd shrug it off and say \"oh, well 400 years of slavery, I guess he deserved it\". <b>FUCK NO! That is BULLSHIT!</b>

You're right, that would be bullshit. I can't disagree with that.

but what exactly does your lil experience there have to do with the notion of gays having ONE school for themselves?

Are you saying thaat some straight students will be denied an education because they are NOT gay?
