  1. A C.I.A agent sent to pacify the black struggle .with a racist Philosophy
    from ghandi a straight racist…..he was againsts the black panther
    party.was against men like stokely Carmichael ….of course Obama would
    Give him an award….

  2. Baynard Rustin was African American, gay, and an atheist. That is just
    about everything that we demonize in our society (especially in those
    times), and still he lead and persevered. Fantastic and inspiring man.

  3. Next time I see a gay, black man being assaulted, I am going stand back and
    scream, “I am a pacifist!!!!!”,

  4. They are not being completely honest about why Bayard Rustin spent some of
    those nights in jail. He was also known to solicit White male prostitutes
    and got arrested numerous times for that. Many of his arrest had nothing to
    do with the Civil Rights Movement…..he was breaking the law.

  5. And fortunately, he lives in America and not Russia, with their new
    anti-gay laws.
