Can We Have A Toughtful/Respectful Discussion Of Civil Rights Versus Income Inequality ???

63. What you fail to fathom is that poverty is very often caused by discrimination, privilege dynamics

and the vast favoritism that is implicit even in your words. The primary civil rights sought by minority people involve economic issues and issues of equal access to opportunity, and that's the case no matter how much it upsets your straight white applecart.

LGBT people for example are subject to legal job discrimination in 29 States and there is no Federal protection, no recourse of any kind. So when you say that without job security " civil rights as described today by social justice has no foundation upon which to build for we, the people. First economics, then civil rights" one has to wonder what the fuck you are talking about. The civil right most ardently sought is the right to jobs and security in those jobs and work places. The civil right is an economic right.

When I read posts such as yours, I have to assume that you are just not aware of all that legal job discrimination. It seems like you want to plow forward getting more for people like yourself without even allowing others to level the current playing field at all.

Pass ENDA then come spew about how firing people for existing is just a stupid social issue and those who are fired do not face economic destruction.
Must be nice to be born to it.
