Rand Paul gets standing ovation at Berkeley: ‘Your right to privacy is under assault’

[mota bhai 2,675]

Libertarians, and Rand Paul specifically, are wishy-washy when it comes to Federal Civil Rights so that means no African American votes or really any group that is protected by such laws.

Not necessarily true, because that war has been fought and won. The window of opportunity white people had to "take it back" is now closed.

The war may have been won, but the fight continues.

The GOP and their voter id laws, cutting back on voting times, and creating a lot of road blocks to prevent people from voting is evidence enough that their window of opportunity to take it back is still open.

"take it back"???

Naw. That stuff is small-fry. They can never have that level of privilege back. That's gone forever.

Let me guess, you're a product of our public schools?

The privilege is still there, they just can't say it out loud anymore.

Don't worry, your card is still safe.

Not being able to say it loud anymore is evidence of severely eroded privilege. In some cases, non-existent privilege.

In other words, it's safe to come off the Democratic plantation now.

I really wish I could, but the GOP hasn't taken too kind to my people.

what card would that be?

Claiming that I have any privilege because I'm white is about as meaningful as claiming that people get free stuff because they voted for Obama.

I'm coming around to the feeling either Jeb Bush or Rand Paul would be better for PoC than Hillary would be. Neither of those two will preside over a return to the days of Jim Crow or slavery. But either of those two will do a lot for privacy and other 21st century concerns while that old 60s radical Hillary would be stuck fighting the old battles of her youth.

You don't. Well, not enough of it to be meaningful anymore. Your ancestors, if they were American, did. But you? You're out of luck and have the Civil Rights Act and Presidents Kennedy and Johnson to thank for it.
