[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] [i]No, no, they're already equal, by virtue of their creation. Society (or rather, the liberals that think that they're mainstream) wants to make them superior. Unacceptable.[/i] That is the stupidest, most ignorant -- most [i]racist[/i] -- remark I've ever heard. Equal by creation? Gee, now, if racism didn't exist, that would be a valid response. You ignore basic human nature, you also ignore the fact that blacks didn't gain their civil rights by vitue of God "creating" them. Do you ignore slavery, now? Social liberals in government (JFK & LBJ lead among them) fought for those rights. Liberals in the community -- Martin Luther King, jr., lead among them -- fought for those rights. You think the system of segregation in the South would be gone now if NOT for the intervention of the government to ensure that it ended? You think U. Miss's medical school would've admitted certain [i]black[/i] students if not for Government intervention? Maybe you remember when US Marshalls stood armed guard to protect a black student against whom U. Miss had REFUSED to admit based on the color of his skin. Interesting, isn't it? For centuries, white males have been superior throughout the world. This country fought a civil war to begin to change that. But it wasn't until the 1960's that true change began. And now that the white male is no longer quite so superior, who is that cries that they are being surpressed? Why, the white male. Intriguing, is it not? No longer king of the hill, no longer looking only to other white males to provide competition, but also to blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and women! Why do you cry so loudly about equality, Omega? 'Fraid you won't get a job when you graduate college? Affirmative Action did what it was supposed to. It's pushed assimilation of minorities within the workplace. Is it time for it to go? Leave that up to the individual states. But to pretend that it [i]wasn't[/i] needed is ludicrious. Are rights equal? In law, yes. In practice? Not yet. But we're a hell of a lot closer. And it hasn't been thanks to fundies like you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
