This is what a buddy of mine posted on FB this week

I'm insulted that the revelation of a sexual preference and lifestyle of a pro athlete can be spoken of in the same breath as the struggle endured by a black man who broke the color barrier in baseball. Jason Collins is NO Jackie Robinson. There is NO comparison. Hundreds of years of slavery, being considered 3/5th of a person by law, not even human, being beaten, raped, and murdered. Please stop the nonsense. Blacks could not vote, could not go to "regular" school, segregation was the law. Who you sleep with is your personal business, you can choose to keep that information private, a race of people cannot hide the color of their skin.
