Do You Believe In Civil Rights?

[pismoe]

how and why should communication be established with a guy or guys that thinks that the supposed 'right' for a transgender to join the USA Military is an important freedom or issue . And there are millions of people who shouldn't be taken seriously or communicated with Mac ??

 

[pismoe]

and you gave a couple of examples in your post number 455 Playtime .

the gov'ment can try - but can be challenged in court.

based on the constitution. now... if courts are stacked with dirty judges, then that opens up a whole world of hurt

------------------------------ WHOSE OPINION will be used to decide WHO the dirty 'judges' are Playtime ??

 

[my2¢]

Justice for all where nobody is considered a hyphened American.

 

[pismoe]

I think that 'civil rights' are simply Grants , Favors and Permissions ready to be revoked by 'goverment' at any time

actually the constitution is why there are civil rights.

And excellent example of one of the deepest fundamental differences between conservatives and liberals.


Conservatives believe that it is the duty of the government to protect our god given rights.


Liberals believe that the government gives us our rights.


And that is why no liberal should EVERY be allowed to be a judge.

-------------------------------------------- i think that Correll is correct in this post .

Our original Constitution is both gender and race neutral. Citizens in the several States should merely ask for equal protection of the law, whenever they are ready to promote the general welfare and help provide for the common defense.

Do you believe that civil rights needs more attention, or it already have had enough and it's time to move on?

Why/why not?

Every day people are being arrested for exercising their right to bear arms, so obviously we haven't done enough. And it's not just about guns, people are getting busted for pocket knives fer crissakes.

only the unorganized militia complains about gun laws.

I believe every individual has a personal responsibility to be civil , which collectively creates civilization

you see, the concept of civil rights is all fine & well, yet applying it via government bureaucracy makes as much sense as an azzhole w/taste buds....

~S~

So you don't believe that what Lincoln did was right, correct?

I'm not a Democrat, I do believe Civil Rights should be protected.

 

[MarcATL]

as long as conservatives infest the country we will ALWAYS be fighting for civil rights.

The conservatives gave us Civil Rights...it was democrats who fought against all but the last two......and they only did that because kkk member Lyndon Johnson knew they couldn't win elections without the Black vote...[/QUOTE]So why is the Republican party REPRESSING the black vote today?

You're equating civil rights w/the right to bare arms. They are separate rights.

Not for someone who has to feed his family on a deer who can't afford $5.98. a pound for lean beef hamburger. Lots of US people in that paradigm, Mr. MarcATL.

 

[MarcATL]

Individual rights need to be vigorously protected at all times.

Does that apply to civil rights too?

Conservatives are THEE biggest violators of civil rights both historically, and world-wide.

That makes what you're stating total hogwash.

Same difference

If individual rights are preeminent in all things then civil rights are also protected.

Actually it is. Your story doesn't change a thing.

FTR, I believe all rights are important.

The right to bear arms is a civil right.

I believe there are inequalities which cannot be legislated away. We will always be burdened with bigots, and no law will make them change.

We can enforce behaviors, but that is very dangerous ground, and I do think the federal government has overstepped in that department. I teach my children all about the black civil right struggle. I had given them detailed knowledge of the unholy horrors blacks had to endure to get the same freedoms we enjoy. But at the same time, I rankle at the federal government trying to control my behavior.

There is something more powerful than laws which we have not pursued enough.

Education. Contrary to what some people may believe around here, I have a great deal of faith in the intelligence of the American people. I think education is the solution to almost all of our problems, not just our racial problems.

But even where we have been educating people on matters of race, it has been mostly one way. Teaching us whites about tolerance, while overlooking or outright condoning the bigotry and hate directed at us.

In addition to conscious bigotry, there are also racial and cultural biases which cause people to treat those who are unlike them differently without being aware of it. White cops give black drivers more tickets, for example. I don't believe this is always deliberate, and that is where education comes in.

We all have behaviors of which we are unaware until someone points them to us. That is probably one of the biggest benefits of marriage. To have someone there to point out, "You behaved like an asshole just then."

I also think it is time for the black community to admit it has been fostering some incredibly self-destructive behaviors. Behaviors which are becoming downright cultural. Once behaviors become part of a culture, they are a real ***** to put a stop to.

To be honest with you Marc, I think at this point the black community is doing more damage to the black community than whites are.

And that feeds right into the bigots' propaganda.

Please expound. What kinds of things are the black community doing to themselves that are making it worse on themselves?

They vote for the party of slavery.
