Reply #97: The OP alludes to Malcolm X, and draws a comparison of tactics that a struggle for equality faces.

And you, Uzy, blithely dismiss that and call it a simple slavery comparison. Speaking of only seeing what you want to see...

Would you prefer that parallels of treatment of the LGBT community by the dominant power structure be drawn only to other communities, like, say the Jews in Nazi Germany?... I'm sure the Nazis had plenty of "collaborators" in the camps, who were only too happy to advise everyone to just cooperate, and in time all would be well... and they'd say that in exchange for more food. --- Note, this is a comparison of tactics being employed, not a comparison of the struggles of the LGBT community literally to Concentration Camps... merely the tactics employed to maintain the docility in the disadvantaged group.

Likewise the quotes of the OP are a comparison of tactics. There's a difference.

In any case, Uzy, would my concentration camp comparison be ok with you and whomever you think you speak for?... And, why is it that slavery is so specifically off limits? Or is it only slavery in the US?
