171. Yes, meaning of the 100% of issues that gay americans face
only about 10% are the same issues that Black Americans face. The other 90% or so of issues faced by gay americans are just downright different from the issues faced by blacks. It could be more of a 25/75% breakdown, but to focus on the numbers misses the point.

As far as your other point, blacks legally have equal rights now, but it doesn't play out that way in American politics, banks, schools, colleges, etc. We have rights on paper, but then we go out into the real world and see that everything is not what it seems.
