The one I made after all of this fighting. I also wish you would read AK's assessment of labels, where he succinctly said the same thing I have been trying to say, but in better words: labels are good or bad depending on how you use them. I am not using them in a malicious or judgmental way, but rather as a means of identifying people with a certain attribute.
As for who cares about who is attracted to what or who: a lot of people do, unfortch. That's why it's our job to control the use of descriptive terms and prove to the world that diversity is a wonderful thing that should be embraced and accepted. Capisch, my good man?
Acceptance of diversity is not liberation from labeling, it's saying that while differences are real, they aren't bad things, and they enrich the tapestry of human civilization. The total exclusion of descriptive terms clearly implies that no type of description is apt, which is not the truth.
I want to see what you refer to as Old America die off as much as you do, trust me. But the way to go about that, IMO, is to say, "Black is beautiful, but so is everything else." That means it's okay to identify a black person as a black person as long you do not judge him/her in a negative manner solely due to his/her skin color. The same thing when it comes to acknowledging matters of gender or sexual preferences.
I think I do smell what the Truck is cooking, and I hope it's fried chicken, because I am really in the mood for it.
