Laws cannot eliminate racism, homophobia, xenophobia, misogynist beliesf, anti -mulsim beliefs, antisemitism or any of the hateful beliefs I left off the list. However, legislation can prevent those in power, predominantly white, Christian males, from preventing non white people from having equal opportunities to gain an education, advance economically, have ...[text shortened]... , the current conservative SCOTUS just turned the clock in our country back to the days of Jim Crow.
Another example of why I say "lying liberals". Nice job, emotional one.

@eladar saidSome people make different choices than others, take risks that others don’t take, work harder than others, .....I could go on. Are you suggesting that everyone is exactly the same and should all turn out the same way.?.. ha. We are not the same. Some, who have had opportunities, have chosen not to take them. The guy at the country club who has cut the same grass for 40 years. Happy and poor. With all the free stuff in the USA we are flush with opportunity. Don’t be ridiculous. And tell those people u are speaking of not to be stupid. Lazy. Whatever.

@eladar saidIf you believe that that is because the black "race" inherently runs faster than the "white" or other "races", yes.
So to say the black race produces the world champion 100 meter sprinter far more often than any other race is being racist?
@no1marauder saidTry and tell us you're not racist... I dare you.
