“Generally, the arguments for same-sex marriage go along these lines: 'I have a civil right.' What the homosexual movement wants to do is to hitch their agenda to the civil rights movement, but I point out that this is illegitimate for a number of reasons. Number one, no black person has ever left his black-ness or changed his black-ness, but plenty of people have come out of the homosexual movement. What we need to do is distinguish between race and behavior.” PeopleWantNeedsPersonsReasonLeftSexBlackLinesNumbersRaceRightsMovementChangedBehaviorArgumentCivil RightsPlentyAgendasHomosexualCivil Rights MovementBlack Person Author:Erwin W.

“A good argument diluted to avoid criticism is not nearly as good as the undiluted argument, because we best arrive at truth through a process of honest and vigorous debate.

“You have to separate artistic ability from ethnic origin. Not only am I not black, I am also not a woman, therefore how can I direct women? I am also only 42, therefore how can I direct someone who's 60? So you see where the argument ends up? If you take it to its logical conclusion, I would have to walk around and point a video camera at myself. And who the hell is interested in that?” IfsEndsBlackAbilityWalksHellArgumentDirectCamerasVideoConclusionArtisticLogicalVideo CamerasArtistic Ability Author:Gavin Hood
