What Rights?
Continuing with the people survey we have this on "equal rights":
I would have liked to have seen a follow up question for those who say "more needs to be done to give blacks equal rights": What rights do [citizen] blacks not have that the rest of the citizens do?
This is the one question that I never see asked when a talking head appears to talk about "equality". We can start at constitutional rights and move on from there. I hold that the problems facing black people today are not one of "rights" at all. I hold that the arguments and conflicts in the US today are about government privileges, privilege status and privileged legislation.
