I've come to the conclusion, we should not give equal rights to anyone. Cause we judt end up screwing everything up, and pampering the people who are supposed to be "equal."
Case 1: Blacks
It began that they wanted equal rights. And if i was them, I would too. So they get equal rights, but it doesn't stop there. Then it goes to schools being forced to accept a certain number of black kids. Uhh excuse me? If they're too stupid to be accepted, why are they accepting them to fill quota? That seems pretty stupid. Equal is supposed to means equal, without prejeduce. It doesn't mean so many of one race, so many of another. Hell, look at the NBA. If you forced every team to have 10 white guys, all the teams would suck. Also, some scholarships are only for minorities. But no scholarships are for white kids. Is that equal? Not only that (which was just politicans being stupid), but racism has almost turned around. White people can get in trouble if they say racist remarks about blacks, but it doesn't work the other way around. Look at Mike Tyson :) Look at the Kings of Comedy, making fun of white people. Hell, look at BET. If we had WET there would be civil rights people going crazy. I thought equal rights meant equal. I guess it wasn't clearly explained, kind of like "All men are created equal."
It's great that people get equal rights and all, but we've gotten to the point where we're pamering them. Give them equal rights, and then let them have all this stuff special for them. Wasn't that what the civil rights movement was going against? Special things for whites and blacks? But now it's perfectly alright to give the minority something special, but no longer the majority. I guess Washington is too afraid to put their foot down, and make things equal. I mean, if we want things to be equal, why do we call them African-Americans? I mean, they're not African-Americans. An African-American would be someone born in Africa, who moved to America. They are Americans, just like the white kids born in America. They're not German-Americans, are they? If you want them to be treated equal, stop calling them by special names, just let them be called Americans. Now onto case 2:
Case 2: Women
Again, we have the stupid laws trying to make things equal. Schools can't have certain sports teams if they don't have a team for women. WTF is that? If girls at the school aren't interested in the sport, guys shouldn't have to suffer. Stupid laws. Now, a baby is created from a man, and a woman. But how come the only time the father matters if when the woman wants money? If a woman wants an abortion, she can have one. The father doesn't have a choice in the matter. So if the baby is an inconvienence for the woman, she can get rid of it. Can the guy do that? Of course not, she'll go to court and force you to pay child support payments. That's not fair. And sexual harrassment laws. It's in the eye of the beholder? Excuse me? We live in a country where things must be proven, and now I can go to jail over word of mouth? And it happens a lot too. You have sex, then you leave her. She gets pissed, then considers it date rape. She goes and has you convicted of rape.
Here's just another case where equal rights gone bad. I could've sworn equal meant the same for both. If i said I was raped I'm sure I would be laughed at.
Equal rights have become such a joke. I'm just sick of it.
