I'm not saying that we shouldnt agitate for our rights. All I am saying is that our cause would be helped if we acknowleged the PR problem.

As for history, women's suffrage took several decades, and was not entirely motivated by principal from the in group. You can say the same about voting rights in the civil rights era. Most of the landmark cases against Jim Crow explicitly chose plaintiffs who were the least threatening to the white power base. Even Jackie Robinson was considered ahead of Satchel Paige in part because of Robinson's clean cut image.
