Re: Which Is More Important? The Right to Discriminate, or Freedom from Discriminati
i agreed with the history part.....however ...when there is Liberty, there are going to be people who do things you don't like.
i see things i don't like all the time, however i have no right or government has no authority to stop people from doing them.
if we as a people start picking and choosing rights, depending on how we FEEL, we will not have any right left.
Miley Cyrus is an example for me of things i don't like.
Aww, shucks. Now I can't get mad.
I guess I'm not concerned by what constitutional authority we have civil rights laws. I would be ashamed of my country if we still had signs on businesses that said, "Blacks not welcome here." That was a dark period in our history, in my opinion. The famous fact that Jackie Robinson couldn't stay with the rest of his team (until they stood up for him) because the team hotels wouldn't admit blacks was pretty low down. And even that we had Negro Baseball Leagues. That, during the second world war, blacks had to move off the sidewalks in the south when whites were going by...I mean, really??
