MLK Day - Why some white and some black people piss me off.

I'm pissed off at white people and at black people.

I'm pissed off at white people for treating Martin Luther King Jr. Day as if it is a 'black holiday'. It's an AMERICAN holiday. All Americans should be proud to celebrate MLK Day because it marks an important time when America moved one step closer to opening up the American Dream for ALL citizens of this country.

I'm also pissed off at black people because they completely ignore Bayard Rustin's role in securing equal rights for African Americans. Mr. Rustin organized the 1963 March on Washington as well as acted as a mentor to Dr. King and taught him the leadership skills and nonviolent resistance that Dr. King used to help further the cause for equality.

I'm pissed because when it comes to gay rights most black people ignore their own gay brothers and sisters and even go so far as to vote to discriminate against gay people in their state Constitutions. A gay black friend of mine was even told that he couldn't join the Black Student Union at our school because he was gay, and that meant he wasn't black!!!

This is just plain fucking wrong. Do they not realize that Mr. Rustin, the mentor and key player in the fight for their civil rights, was a gay black man?

Face it black people! Without this gay black man, you would not have the rights you have today! Gay black people do exist and it's time to start fighting for their rights too!
