I've been getting knee deep in the civil rights fight and I can't say I'm impressed. I've concentrated on LGBT rights so far and the whole movement is a goddamn mess. In reality there are multiple factions and movements, with some actively working against the other.
There are sectarian groups in the LGBT acronym. Privileged White Gay Males, Lesbian Separatists, Anti Monosexuals and Anti Cisgender groups in the presumably monolithic acronym that butt heads with each other more often than the people trying to shaft us all. All these groups need to get the boot so we all can bring about the Advent of Unified Justice.
The main reason for clashes between the LGBT Rights Movement and the Black Civil Rights Movement is the assholes in both groups. Mainly the Privileged White Gay Males and the Black Religious Right. Even for the most kindhearted black people's hearts will turn ice cold if you attack them with racial epithets. Speaking as a person of color, I am really to help anyone until they do certain things, like calling me a nigger. After that, I wouldn't piss on then if they were on fire. Black people are just hyper sensitive to racism, and for good reason.
So the main thing for people to do if they truly want justice for all and not just themselves is to stop being selfish assholes. End of story.
