Reply #178: It's not a zero sum game.

Yes, every struggle has differences, but civil rights struggles often share vast similarities. Workplace discrimination, education discrimination, social violence, hate crime, legal discrimination, marriage discrimination... this is not BS, this is simply a matter of noting the common factors in civil rights struggles.

I don't see why pointing out the similarities would be a problem... unless, perhaps, one is concerned that fighting for civil rights of one group invalidates or reduces the fight for civil rights of another group?

Perhaps the narrative gets muddied?

Perhaps "ownership" of the struggle comes into question?

Why is it so important to note the differences, as compared to the similarities?
