The South and Civil Rights

[J. J.]

Quite simply, it is true on-face that people play the victim game for selfish reasons. Not just in the US and not just with regard to race-- it is a very common occurence. I am merely pointing out that the current "Civil Rights" factions are purely self-interested and operate by way of pleading victim status.

I support civil rights for a very selfish reason, I don't mine trampled upon.  A law that says someone won't be denied a job because of skin color, gives me the right not to be denied a job because of my skin color.  A law that says a person won't be stopped and searched because of race, means you won't be stopped and searched because of race.

It is self interest and I have no problem with it.

You took me out of context, on purpose, again.

You know I was talking about the institutional motivations of the NAACP and like groups, which are motivated to create a story of widespread victimhood WHETHER OR NOT IT EXISTS because without that, they have lost their direction.

I'm not disagreeing with you about victimization and I'm not addressing it. 

I certainly did not take you out of context regarding self interest.  I'm not a member of the NAACP or part of the subgroup they wish to "advance."  When they say, effectively, "It is in the self interest of our members that rights be protected," they, in effect, are protecting my rights, and yours, even if neither of us are part of the subgroup.  When they act in that manner, they are acting in both your and my self interest.

I have no problem your rights being protected, nor with mine being protected.
