Would you like some Mysogyny with your Smut,Sir?

Sitting in a Doctor's office recently, I picked up a copy of Time Magazine to peruse. Practically inside the front cover is a feature called "10 Questions". That weeks subject was Hugh Hefner;Publisher of a certain famous "magazine".One of the questions asked was; "What do you feel about Proposition 8?". Do you feel it is fair to treat gays as second class citizens?" R.M. San Francisco (Proposition 8 having to do with gay marriage)Hugh answered; "I believe gay people have a right to marry. The Constitution protects against "Mob Rule". If we simply went by what is popular,black men probably wouldnt have equal rights"

Now, maybe it was a freudian slip but notice the wording "black men" as opposed to black people. Just sumptin' I noticed. What do you think?

    No problem here, he was just putting gay men and black men together, if it were the opposite the same case would happen.

    Mike: Sounds like a reasonable explanation.

    BTW, why are you so upset with the Breslover guys?

    very interesting that you noticed that, I wouldn't have thought of it.

    But just to make sure I got it right, your question is that he said "men" and not "people" in that he didn't include woman?

    Jewish: Yes, that's what I meant. As you can see by above comments, most people think it was just a context thing which is very possible. Hey,I asks 'em, and someone answers 'em. It's the way of the world....
