Chris Broussard is for lack of a better word a bigot

As much as I find the absurdity of homophobia, I'm not buying the over-sensationalizing of the topic.

If a few blacks committed violence against a few whites during the civil rights moment, does that in any way reflect negatively on the movement?

The violent few do not represent the majority, and the majority do not enable the violent few.

Come again?

I guess I know what you mean. But as for the idea of sensationalism, I would suggest that it has a lot to do with whose ox is being gored. At least, on a very dispassionate level. On a truly passionate level, it is easy to see the connections, to see how the violent thoughts and actions are enabled by society at large.
