Been saying this. Infuriates me every time.

"'President Obama is a disgrace to the black community,' Owens said. 'He is rewriting history. We didn’t suffer and die for gay marriage. We marched for opportunity, equality, justice, freedom from oppression. We are the true heirs of the civil rights movement. We have a new movement to reclaim the ‘real’ civil rights movement.”
CAAP has launched a new initiative called RISE, a grassroots network that unites 'people of every race, creed, culture, and background,' to focus on defending faith, family, and justice. [In other words, "content of character", as King wanted]
'The LGBT community [Yes, the left community, which calls itself LGBT (and often many letters more)] hijacked our movement, a movement they know nothing about,' [Add to that almost every idiot liberal who makes the comparison] Owens asserted. 'President Obama is delusional to compare our struggle with the struggle for marriage equality Using this term bows to leftist the narrative. Marriage has always been equal.] Gays have not had fire hoses or dogs unleashed at them. They have not been hung from trees or denied basic human rights.'"
Amen.
