I don't even understand your analogy. I don't even really understand what you're trying to say at all...but I'll guess.. and fuck, I need to work. Why am I so concerned with what people think of my ideology in a god damned message board?!?! haha.
What's to stop anyone from saying 'I hate blacks, mexicans, gays' now? I doubt you'd find many cases of racially motivated HR not hiring minorities now anyways because that's pretty hard to prove. So what's stopping people from doing that now? It might make you feel better that this is a law, but it's a very hard thing to prove. You'd have to know the other candidates, you'd have to know their experience and other intangibles and then you would have to prove motive.
Are you saying what's to stop someone from taking someone's money, cause that would be theft, which is illegal. It's illegal to steal money from a white person, it's illegal to steal money from a black person, a gay person, it's likely illegal to even steal from an illegal alien. Stealing has nothing to do with civil rights.
What my analogy was touching on is the boogeyman of psychology that I believe CR laws create. Yours seems to be dealing with the boogeyman of reality and what could happen if laws were repealed, and none of us know the answer to that. If our end goal is that a majority of people in our society see race as nothing more than a physical characteristic then I'd say we're getting close. Sure you have your out of the closet racists and we can watch youtube videos of them all day long.. but for the people that matter, race is not an important factor any longer. Again, I'm not really for this, just explaining my ideology. I don't fully believe we're ready for something like this, but I do hope that it's day will come where we don't need laws to make us equal, we just are equal. Yeah? Who's with me?!?! Okay work. No seriously, you guys can call me a homophobic redneck dog fucker and I wouldn't know about it.. fire away.
- I think you have too much faith in humanity. Unjustified faith. Look at Arizona, that's happening NOW.BRNK
- What's happening in AZ?!? You mean the thing where the Fed law is being enforced?? That thing? The one about ILLEGALmathinc
- immigrants? That law? The one where everyone has overreacted? Did you read it it? Do you know that there are WAYmathinc
- more protections against racial profiling than you're being told??mathinc
- That law has so little to do with race. Everyone has blown that out of proportion. The language is always that it has the 'potential'mathinc
- for abuse. What law doesn't? There were heavy protections against racial profiling built into that law. The president lied about itmathinc
- "Reasonable suspicion"DrBombay
- it the attorney general lied about it. You've been lied to, go read it, it's 10 pages.mathinc
- See Rick, you still don't know that law. You actually have to be in the act of an unlawful stop before they can even ask you for ANYTHING.mathinc
- ANYTHING. Just like you and me Rick. We have to be detained before we're asked for ID. Same thing here.mathinc
- Most likely scenario: You do something illegal while driving, cop pulls you over, asks for ID, if you don't have it.. you're in trouble.mathinc
- trouble. Just like you and I. Nothing special.mathinc
- So you have to be driving?DrBombay
- What about if you are walking down the street?DrBombay
- You HAVE to be in the act of doing something unlawful. Obamas example about the ice cream shop was wrong.mathinc
- If you were walking down the street robbing old ladies, then you can be stopped.mathinc
- How about loitering?DrBombay
