One of the blessings, or curses, of retirement is being able to schedule your day around yourself and not around a forced schedule or someone else’s will.

For me, I get up, make coffee, get on my computer to read emails, Facebook, and news outlets looking for an idea for a cartoon, while talking heads on various cable news shows drone on in the background.

On a good day you might have a congressional hearing,  but usually it seems mostly minor stories being stretched to fill time, or someone making a passing comment that, by the time  I have drawn a cartoon and am heading out the door, has become a major topic for speculation and discussion.

I have listened as Pete Buttigieg went from being Gay, perhaps not Gay enough, to becoming electable, then maybe not the favorite of Black people, to it is wrong to compare the struggles of Gays to those of Blacks, a topic that only came up when, out of the blue, someone said not to do that when no one actually had.

Now we have an “us/them” situation that has protagonists and antagonist defined by whether you are Black or Gay.

Once again, those not from either group are explaining the thoughts of both.

So now there is a discussion about whether or not it is appropriate to compare the Black struggle with the Gay one.

While both sides have struggled and as the members of both groups have experiential knowledge of their own struggle, any knowledge of the experience of the other is at best academic.

In short we say that downtownsault.org best prices for cialis, viagra is recommended only if the doctor finds an irreversible liver dysfunction that cannot be treated by medication.

They are two different struggles, each legitimate in its own right, but, of course, they are different, and neither group is making the comparison.

Pundits are.

Now as the discussions of the issues that the candidates want to address are ignored in favor of this topic, someone throws out the term identity politics, and the discussion begins about the candidates personal traits, and the candidates, who did not bring it up, are condemned for what others have decided to talk about.

Most of the times the topic has come up, those discussing it are straight white people with an occasional straight black person to give the balanced view.

They seem to be reluctant to include a Gay person, most likely because, as most gay people I know don’t compare our struggle for our civil rights to those of Black Americans, a Gay panelist might point that all we ask is that our struggle be recognized and valued for the people who fought it and the results they won.

Two groups can have had their struggles without the need to compare and contrast.

Blacks and Gays both struggled, and continue to. But neither wants to win a who wore it best competition.

Of course, lost in the latest created controversy is the fact that someone both Gay and Black might have an opinion on this.

Perhaps the pundits can ask.
