I think if some hadn't singled the certain groups out to begin with...there wouldn't be any need for Gay Rights, women rights. disabled rights....lets extend that to ethnic rights....we did a bang up job of denying these groups of fundamental rights in the first place... they just want to have the same rights as everyone else...
The things we see now are NOT being done to "insure" the protection of individual, fundamental rights. It is being done to divide the Nation, pit one group against the other, to make it easier to control the people.
No, some of these 'groups' don't want their rights, they want 'special treatment'. Which is what the government is encouraging, again, to create divisions. That is the entire idea behind 'protected groups', division.
"WE" did not deny anyone anything, SOME people and the government did. Much of the problems that many of those in the 'protected groups' are facing today, to a large degree, is of their own making. The more they see themselves as 'victims' and in 'need' of 'protection' the less they will have and their freedom lost.
Far too many who have been 'held back' have done OKEE DOKEE. We just never hear about it.
Example: Read the life story of Major General (R) Jerry Curry. Much like Obama in many ways. Born into a mixed race family at a time when the racial divides were far worse than they are today. Face tremendous discrimination in the '50's when he decided to become an officer in the military and go to OCS. He did not whine or complain. He just outperformed everyone else and had a magnificent career and life. There are millions more like him out there.

Yet, we ONLY hear how it is impossible to 'rise above' this stuff as an individual and the the 'government' must 'step in' and help. BULL FEATHERS!
My grandparents faced discrimination when they immigrated here in the early 1900's. They, for the most part, ignored it and went about making a good life for themselves without the 'benefit' of 'government protection'. The lack 'government protection' is exactly why they did well.
It always boils down to one thing and one thing only, it is the responsibility of the individual to insure their own success. In other words, don't look for excuses, look for solutions. They are always there for those who seek them. Those who chose to be victims ONLY find failure and despair.
