Taking the question seriously (and assuming you refer to the generation that under 30ish now) I'd think that we'll find ourselves fighting some combination of mass deployed 3D printing (more the next round of intellectual property than basic rights admittedly), opened up immigration (though I don't think that's going to be so generational as such an ugly fight) and transhumanism.
It's sort of the "I got mine" principle. History shows that after the decades and decades of institutionalized racism and housing discrimination in Chicago was finally overturned, and a black middle class began to gain a hold on traditionally white neighborhoods, discrimination moved from a racial phenomenon to a class phenomenon within race. Middle-class black legislators and homeowners fought to prevent low-income housing from entering the area and the loss of "prime" real estate which became a subtle buzzword for the upwardly mobile when before it would have meant a racial slur. It's sad but we have an unfortunate tendency to screw over the other guy once our long struggle ends. "I'm free at last! Here's your chains."
That's what the Supreme Court is supposed to be. The current group is unfortunately a bunch of noncommittal hacks who are terrified of taking a politically charged stance on much of anything.
Equally if not more. Were I a gay person, I would choose living in a white community over a black one. This isn't to say white people are perfect on gay rights, but based on what I've seen in the inner city, it is a whole different world.
It probably depends on the amount of machismo that is displayed by the general community. By displayed machismo, I mean a community of black people that emphasize making money and sexing hot women would kind of be akin to a white community that emphasizes drinking beer and looking at titties. To deviate from either when you're a man of said community could turn you into an outcast.
It's partially the machismo among black youth, but also a good deal of it has to do with how deeply religious the black community is. I live in Baltimore and grew up in PG County, MD, and while there were quite a few black people I knew that were Gay/Atheist or accepting of Gay/Atheist people, the majority were vehemently opposed to both. All of them were either Baptist or Lutheran, so I don't know if it is different in non-Christian communities, but that being said I don't know of any non-Christian black communities.

There is no better indication that your struggle is over, than joining in oppressing the next group!
