The Double Standard Of Tolerance

[wnbubbleboy]

Actually, I am not using it out of context. Look at what you cited!!! You cited 42 U.S.C. 1982.

Now, go to my post above and look at what I cited: 42 U.S.C. 1981.

You are talking about a completely different statute. Go back and read the correct statute!

I suggest you do better research next time you accuse me of something.

I know that you are probably some type of Jeffersonian-Federalist who thinks these Federal Civil Rights Statutes are bogus; but seriously, it does not excuse your blatant disregard for the truth.

Ok I did look at the wrong sub section here is the correct one I aplogize. This is what you are referring to:


TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE

CHAPTER 21--CIVIL RIGHTS

SUBCHAPTER I--GENERALLY

Sec. 1981. Equal rights under the law


(a) Statement of equal rights

All persons within the jurisdiction of the United States shall have
the same right in every State and Territory to make and enforce
contracts, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal
benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and
property as is enjoyed by white citizens, and shall be subject to like
punishment, pains, penalties, taxes, licenses, and exactions of every
kind, and to no other.



Also noting the codification of the law more thank likely the language was written shortly after the Civil War. Extending Rights to former slaves. Of course, What do I know.

Codification

R.S. Sec. 1977 derived from act May 31, 1870, ch. 114, Sec. 16, 16
Stat. 144.
Section was formerly classified to section 41 of Title 8, Aliens and
Nationality.

Here's more information about this section:

Good question. When you say "the Fed gets away with all types of discrimination," are you referring to the govt's role in affirmative action?

I didn't want to make any assumptions.

 

[delldude]

Affirmitive action is one area....

How about preferential 'perks' for immigrants and such?

Weight restrictions in the armed services.

Don't ask don't tell or your gone....freedom of expression?

Low income gov't mortgage perks?

1st amendment protections in the press....

Think about it,theres more than you realize.

 

[Gilding the Lily]

1st amendment protections in the press....

Ah... you are talking about the whole shish kabob. I understand what the gist of your argument would be for most of items on the laundry list you provided; but, when you get a chance, do you mind expounding on the discrimination within the 1st amendment protections regarding the press? Perhaps it should be a new thread, but I am curious to hear your opinion. Thanks.

 

[delldude]

There are not protections for the press regarding sources anymore.....which I think falls within 1st boudaries.Usually they get thrown in jail.

I agree with the general point of the essay: That there is a double standard between the West and Muslims.

Someone draws a cartoon about Muhammed and there is a huge uproar, while Iran's leader says that Jerusalem needs to be destroyed and it hardly makes the news.
Muslims demand rights, tolerance, etc., while if a Muslim living in Iran converts to Christianity their life is in jeopardy.

I agree that we need more leaders that need to stand up to the Muslims and quit being so PC.

As I type this, I am looking at the cover of the December 18 issue of US News and World report. The cover title is "In search of the REAL Jesus. New research questions whether he was more teacher than savior". (Odd how this article is timed to run right before Christmas, the most holy of Christian holidays.) Eh, fair enough...If US news wants to take an agnostic view, so be it.....but I wonder....do you think they would run a feature during Ramadan entitled, "Muhammed...more military conquerer than prophet"? Somehow I HAVE MY DOUPTS. Dont for a SECOND tell me there is no bias in the media.
