It becomes a pissing match because other demographics want to latch onto the black experience when it suites them, while simultaneously trying to prove their superiority over blacks. Gays and Latinos are notorious for this. Latinos will be quick to shyt on blacks, deny us service, call us "mayate" and "negrito" like it's nothing, and yet, want blacks to cosign them when it's time to march in the streets for something. I've seen gays drop the n-bomb and deny blacks service, but then shiver when someone says "faq". I've argued on the site about this before: If you are taking away peope's civil liberties, treating them like shyt, and having a condescending attitude towards them, don't turn around and start crying when a group in more power (aka whites) start doing it to you, and don't look at blacks with the "save me" face

. We get tired of being used and thrown away for certain agendas

. Everybody does deserve civil rights, but the struggles have not been the same. And people are quick to disregard ANYTHING positive or nationally benificial that black folks have done

. If them black leaders hadn't gotten together, then Mexicans, gays, women etc. would not have had as much progress in their own plights. This should be acknowledged for once instead of people throwing up "Chicano Power" pics and feminist photos. People always want to gloss over the black experience like its irrelevant.
