GOP Rep.: Discrimination Against Whites Is All Federal Law Permits

[CreekDog]

Is the following quote a true or false description of our Civil Rights laws at the Federal level?

On Tuesday, Brooks told USA Today that "if you look at current federal law, there is only one skin color that you can lawfully discriminate against. That’s Caucasians — whites."

2. yes, not one of the brighter bulbs

4. I'm sure they wish they could say white Christian males

oh yeah

5. Absolutely false.

Whites have an equal right to sue for racial discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and many whites have won these so-called "reverse discrimination" suits.

6. The only group it is legal to discriminate against under Federal Law is LGBT people.

Straights of any race can and do openly discriminate against LGBT people in employment and in housing with full legal impunity. This is the fact is 29 of the States, that is most of America.
Just a reminder. I am aware of the fact that DU straights do not give a fuck.

7. All DU straights don't give a fuck?

wow. though otherwise I agree with your post.
