FLAG WARS - A REVIEW

In the documentary, one can see that the "gay rights" struggle although important has little to do with the discrimination based on skin color. Often a "white" gentrifier has to identify him/her self as homosexual before the discrimination can begin. Also, "white" gentrifiers may have been the beneficiaries of generational wealth at the expense of the historical lack of civil rights due to Black Africans in America, Native peoples, Latin American populations, etc.

It is my opinion that in order for homosexual "whites" to gain more credibility in the struggles of other "minority" populations, they should understand that they still hold social privilege in society and they should do what they can to curb racism even in their own communities. Above all, discrimination affects all but is more detrimental to the poor and underprivileged. Below is a "Behind The Lens" preview of the Film, "Flag Wars".
