I Wanna Be Rich (So I Can Know What Real Misery Is,...)

I linked to this article in the last post, but after reading it in it's entirety, this quote made me laugh in recognition (first one of the day!) so here it is, as gays attempt to cross the Finish Line before us:

What is the ideology of the LGBT lobby, by the way?  And why does it seem to clash so incessantly with the views of black people, who are -- with the notable exception of Jason Collins, Barack Obama, and Obama's die-hard followers -- unimpressed with the comparison between their lives and the claims of the LGBT lobby? 

People who love the same sex come with many different agendas and experiences.  The peculiar ideology of the LGBT lobby, however, seems fashioned perfectly to inflame the rage and resistance of African-Americans.  First, the ideology is based on biological determinism.  The repeated appeals to the Fourteenth Amendment depend upon the notion that homosexuals are born with their orientation in the same way black people are born with dark skin.  This isn't the most inviting way to start a comparison: "Hi, I'm a guy who loves playing with other men's genitals, and that's just like you being black!"

Yeah, leaving out any suggestion blacks have liked it, just stick to descriptions of getting fucked (sometimes by strangers) and we might - *might* - be able to see where you're coming from. One more thing - it's weird how groups claiming to be oppressed by blacks always fall into this category:

"Economic data is irrefutable: The normative statistics for a homosexual in the USA include a Bachelor's degree: For gay men, the median household income is $83,000/yr. (Gay singles $62,000; gay couples living together $130,000), almost 80% above the median U.S. household income of $46,326, per census data. For lesbians, the median household income is $80,000/yr. (Lesbian singles $52,000; Lesbian couples living together $96,000); 36% of lesbians reported household incomes in excess of $100,000/yr. Compare that to the median income of the non-college educated Black male of $30,539. The data speaks for itself."

 

And that data says Hendrix was right:
