And an organization, founded to fight for civil rights, is disgracefully hypocritical if they refuse to recognize the civil rights of anyone other than themselves. They lose all moral authority, because then they become merely advocates for themselves. OF COURSE you are going to be advocates for yourselves – everyone is; you gain no moral authority from merely being an advocate for your own interests. So, you, hallowed civil rights organization, are “officially” neutral on the key civil rights issue of our time in this country? You are no longer a civil rights organization – you are merely an advocacy group. Like any other.
