Black Oppression – a popular target for comparison

As the Gay agenda rolls in, more and more comparisons are made with the struggle of the homosexual with the struggle of the black man.

The oppression of the black-man is a favorite target of comparison for any flavor of opression.  Take for example the PETA movement who have lumped “animal rights” with “human civil rights.”  Take a look at their official FAQs on the subject of animal rights:

Everybody is entitled to his or her own opinion, but freedom of thought is not the same thing as freedom of action. You are free to believe whatever you want as long as you don’t hurt others. You may believe that animals should be killed, that black people should be enslaved, or that women should be beaten, but you don’t always have the right to put your beliefs into practice. The very nature of reform movements is to tell others what to do—don’t use humans as slaves, don’t sexually harass women, etc.—and all movements initially encounter opposition from people who want to continue to take part in the criticized behavior.

Notice how they lump animal rights with human rights saying:

…animals should be killed, that black people should be enslaved, or that women should be beaten…

CLEARLY, all three issues bear equal weight because the humilation of the chicken when its feathers were plucked align exactly toward’s the black man’s plight when he was tarred and covered with chicken feathers.  PETA is obviously making so much sense here..

But that’s not enough, PETA has gone so far as to campaign against animal slavery by providing a traveling display, entitled “Slavery.”  Its aim was to foster public sympathy for theh plight of animals.  Listen to the comparison used by PETA to the struggle of the black man:

The lifeless bodies of two noosed black men, dangling from trees as a mob of whites sheepishly surveys the scene.

The smoldering corpse of a black man, burned alive atop a pile of wood.

The terrified face of a slave, wearing only a piece of cloth about her waist as a man presses a hot branding iron to her back.

Alone, the images evoke the kind of gut-wrenching horror that makes people want to look away.

But place them alongside photos of slaughtered cows, burning chickens and branded pigs, and for many, they evoke a different emotion ý pure outrage.

Such is the juxtaposition of a new PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) exhibit, “Are Animals the New Slaves?”

For Vakiya Courtney, executive director of America’s Black Holocaust Museum, some images in PETA’s new campaign strike an especially painful chord.

Dr. James Cameron, founder of America’s Black Holocaust Museum, survived an attempted lynching after he and two friends were falsely accused of murdering a white man in Marion, Ind., in 1930. Cameron, 91, the nation’s only living survivor of a lynching, watched a mob of whites beat and lynch his two friends ý the same two men shown hanging in the PETA exhibit.

“I just cannot believe they would do this,” Courtney said, gasping as she viewed the exhibit on PETA’s website. “Dr. Cameron was supposed to have been the third man in this picture.”

Courtney, who is vegetarian, said that while she, too, is against animal cruelty, comparing the suffering of human beings to animals is unthinkable:

“How can you possibly compare the brutality that our ancestors experienced here, and the brutality that people like Dr. Cameron had to overcome, to animal cruelty?”

With each faulty comparison, the oppression of the black man is diminished.
