You know, I've been thinking...why are there "Gay Pride" parades and not "Straight Pride" parades? What about "White Pride" parades or movements?
Well, the most likely result of the two aforementioned occasions would be met with cries of "racism" and "homophobia" regardless of their allegedly peaceful attempt at touting their race or ethnicity as being something that everyone should know about, as the "Gay Pride" parade and Black Pride Month's chief goal seems to be.
Why is this? Are we not all allowed to shove our sexual orientations and ethno-centrisms down everyone else's throats in the same way? Why are there scholarships specifically designed for those with a differing race than white or a differing orientation than straight? Are we not all equal?
Why does the Feminist movement, in its "War for Women," have the right to dress up in vagina costume (or hardly anything at all) and parade about in public and demand that they be free from objectification or consequence for their actions? Are they not exacerbating the problem by stating women are nothing but an organ between their legs, or that there must be special concession simply because of their gender? What right have they to do so when women in certain Eastern countries aren't even allowed to leave their homes, to feel the sun on their cheeks?
At some point, the Feminist Movement and Black Pride had a goal: for the universal right to live their lives in the way they chose to live them, without concession or bias, and this goal, in my opinion, is the most admirable that can exist. For the most part, other races (and the women within them) are widely socially excepted and have integrated into the wonderful place that is America quite nicely, enjoying the rights of every other citizen.
The things I mentioned above, though, are examples of concessions given (or being demanded) BECAUSE OF race or gender or orientation. This, in itself, is sexist and/or racist, because it gives another race or orientation a higher chance to succeed than your conventional Caucasian male, a gender and ethnicity now associated by some to be of bastards and filthy animals. Isn't this segregation the same thing that created slavery in the first place?
