Lol good one.
Minorities won't have a voice? Give me a freakin' break!
Quote:Do you want it to be considered a hate group so Minorities don't have a voice?
Quote:For the record, BLM is a hate group.
"Minorities" in this country do have a voice. It's called the vote.
When an ethnic group/organization thinks that they are more important than everyone else, it's not only a "hate group" but is counter-productive to us as a nation. It's about time people get away from not only the race identification that divides this country, but also the "sexual identity" and other labels that are put on people.
Blacks, Hispanics, Gays, etc. have the same opportunity and are protected by the same laws as everyone else. No one ethnic background is any more important or deserving than another. When people actually finally get this, then we will actually be a united nation.
Quote:So everyone should be equal and on a level playing field. Then incarceration rates should not be skewed so drastically to target minorities. Affluenza should be rejected as an acceptable defense tactic for rich white people who break the law. Oh.. and since you mention sexual identity, I assume you will be writing the Jax City Council in support of an expanded HRO to protect the 36,000 citizens who can still be fired, evicted or kicked out of a restaurant for being gay in this city. Unless you feel like voicing your support in person on Tuesday evening when it gets reintroduced.

Quote:You literally took the words out of my mouth that I was gonna respond to him with.
Quote:The incarceration rates reflect the crime rates. Are you suggesting that males are discriminated against because the rate of incarceration is so much higher?The incarceration rate of black males is over six times that of white males. Roughly half are for drug offenses (thanks Nancy Reagan). Do you believe that blacks are six times more likely to do drugs? Or is it possible, just maybe (not really.. it's [BLEEP] true) cops have been targeting blacks for decades.
Affluenza absolutely should be rejected as an acceptable defense tactic. Most judges reject it. Sure you can find a case or two where the rich kid got off easy, but you can't expect government to be competent.
People don't get fired, evicted, or kicked out for being gay. That's Leftist nonsense. The HRO is there to expand the number of lawsuits. Hmm, wonder what party is in the pocket of the lawyer lobby?
Quote:Yes it is.
Quote:1. The incarceration rate of black males is over six times that of white males. Roughly half are for drug offenses (thanks Nancy Reagan). Do you believe that blacks are six times more likely to do drugs? Or is it possible, just maybe (not really.. it's [BAD WORD REMOVED] true) cops have been targeting blacks for decades.
2. If you don't think people get fired, evicted or kicked out of restaurants for being gay, what is the harm in putting in equal protection under the law for anti discrimination like they have for race, religion, sex, etc?
3. For the record I know a person who has had to move multiple times because a family member is transgender. Illegally evicted and fired. So yes it does [BAD WORD REMOVED] happen.

Quote:So everyone should be equal and on a level playing field. Exactly! Then incarceration rates should not be skewed so drastically to target minorities. When you look beyond race you will see that income is about equal between all races. SO maybe has more to do with opportunity?
Affluenza Stop right there. Conservative protested as loudly about that and as equally as liberals.

Unless you feel like voicing your support in person on Tuesday evening when it gets reintroduced. Just my opinion but my take on the this whole HRO thing is that it is demeaning. IMHO gay people are equal to us "breeders". Therefore no special protections are warranted since we are equals under the same laws.

Quote:1. Three times, not six. Maybe that's the case for violent drug offenses. Like I said, the women make up only 7% of the incarcerated criminals, but more than 50% of the population. Does that mean that men are being heavily discriminated against?
2. Because it wastes time and resources in spiteful lawsuits. Not to mention that an innocent person who is sued can still be out tens of thousands of dollars even if he wins.
3. I'll have to trust you on that one. Are you sure it has nothing to do with some other reason (like the person being an annoying jerk)? How does one even know that a person is transgender unless they publicize the fact?

Quote:Not special protections. The same protections you have for waking up every morning as a "breeder." And no.. they don't have them in Jax. You can look these things up you know.So your answer is a new law to supersede a law that is currently being ignored? How about enforcing the current laws on the books? Why does that not work for you?

re: #3.. don't be a Richard. I can't even begin to tell you how much crap they have gone through as a family. I know there are some transgender people who are not easily identified as such. The fact you are asking that question proves all of these bathroom bill laws being proposed are moronic. You have a better chance of being accosted by the Loch Ness Monster in a bathroom than you do a transgender person.

3. You didn't answer my question, and deflected to a different topic entirely. I never doubted your friends have gone through a lot. The question is why. I doubt that anyone cares (or even knows) if a person is transgender, so it's likely for a different reason.
