22. Yeah, I mean Martin Luther King should have pushed for civil unions. . .
. . . instead of "black marriage" or "interracial marriage."

And blacks shouldn't have gone for the vote or sat at the front of the bus, because that inflamed hatreds. No, blacks should have sat in the middle of the bus, or maybe a few seats up from the rear of the bus.

The reason why the right wing launched this wave of hatred is simple. Our supposed "allies," rather than sticking up for us, fucked us over and ran screaming, leaving us to fight the battle alone.

Thanks, guys.
