I can appreciate your opinion however there's enough information written on both subjects that explains why this is the case.
As far as the shove it down your throat thing? You need to live here in the Bay Area and be subjected to San Francisco's Mayor and the perception people have about his method of supporting the cause to appreciate this.
Here are a couple of examples to consider.

A group of people who are being discriminated against for something out of thier control trying to be treated eqaully. Sounds similar to me. Why not compare the two?
B) The shove it down your throat or the "whether you like it or not" position seem like BS. I bet back in the day white people thought that black people were shoving their "blackness" down their throats too.  |
