How Is Gay & Black The Same?

The notion that gay is the new black is ludicrous. The question, DV, that I have for you though is this:

How come via the pictures above you define black as victim of oppression (racism) when YOU consistently argue that blacks are indeed NOT victims of oppression (racism)?

The notion that gay is the new black stuff logically actually only works if blacks have ceased being victims of oppression (racism) at some point in the past and gay oppression (which, as far as I know, consists primarily in the right of gays to marry each other, but not in systematic housing, lending, educational, income, job, entertainment industry, etc discrimination) has therefore replaced the vastly more severe and systemic oppression based on color.

So let me ask you again, DV:

How come via the pictures above you define black as victim of oppression (racism) when YOU consistently argue that blacks are indeed NOT victims of oppression (racism)?
