Well, sooner or later even the most ardent progressive will have an epiphany, and realize how utterly screwed they're getting supporting half the population that doesn't work, or contribute in any manner to the collective good of society. (parasites)
Then the pendulum will start to swing the other way.
This is a cyclical issue...it will start swinging the other way.
So with all of that usual liberal blah blah said, you would agree that I would have legal recourse against a black preacher who refused to marry my wife and I in a KKK themed wedding?The US Constitution was intended to be an evolving document. Hence, we have the availability of amendments, and a court was established to define what the Constitution meant.
Those who wrote the Constitution were definitely not in agreement about the rights of others. Although there was considerable debate over slavery, nobody at the convention seemed to notice that we did not guarantee that the laws and protections of the Constitution extended to women. Some men were included as only three-fifths of a man, and even that had nothing to do with their rights. They had no rights. The provision was an accounting for census purposes that would accrue to the benefits available to a state. Yet, the people who wrote the Constitution were aware that at some point slavery would be terminated. They knew that what they were creating would be changed as society evolved.
Basically, you can be bigoted as long as you don't act upon it. There are countless things on which you would be quite willing to permit someone to do or believe, as long as it is within their own homes and doesn't affect others. That's kind of where the courts have decided that your rights end, where they interfere with someone else's. We decided some time ago that you could be a racist, but you couldn't refuse to serve African-Americans. Do we have to go through that dance for every group, or can we just accept that business operates outside the home, and it is subject to operate in a non-discriminatory way?
If the Constitution had not been an evolving document, I strongly suspect that fewer than ten percent of the people on this board would have the right to vote according to the laws that were set up by some communities. Even poor white males could not vote.

Oh come on K2C, you do that to Senior Sooner?
But, but...I thought you liked her?
You're just jealous. She loves me. Rippled abs, huge triceps and biceps.
Not a grey hair on my head, well at least none you can see. I have a Oklabama hat..........
The constitution is a relatively short document that was intended to be easy to understand yet we have nine people whose full time job is to interpret the constitution in secrecy behind closed doors. Oh, and those nine members are basically unaccountable to the citizens they serve, and they are not responsible for the results or consequences of their decisions as their appointment is for life.
