People are scared (apes are fearful). Scared of what others might think if they say the word "black." A reaction to the 1960's? Is this like how ashamed Germans are of association with the Nazis? I feel like there is some complacency after the Civil Rights turmoil and this has slowed down The Discussion. A plateau.

I know I'm not alone in feeling that the black clergy and other prominent leaders have failed to acknowledge parallels with the struggle for homosexual equal rights. There have been some good political cartoons lately that address that.
