Civil Rights aren’t just a black thing or a lefty thing

 by M. Walter

We need to have a national conversation about civil rights and to whom they belong.  

In the 1960s, the phrase “civil rights” became a black-only thing, or at least a primarily black thing, and nothing could (now!) be further from the truth.

Look at this X post.  Think about what this means.  This “civil rights” lawyer not only stomped all over the civil rights of everyone in that church, she organized it.  She arrogated those rights to herself and her squad of screamers.  Stopping worship, terrorizing the children present.

What about the civil rights of the terrified kids?  The civil rights of the elderly?  The civil rights of everyone in that church?

What are they teaching in these law schools?  That civil rights belong only to the left?  When they feel like sharing?  And woe betide the poor innocents in their way?

Civil rights belong to all of us.  If the institutional left insists on special rights for this group or that group (black, gay, trans, etc.) then they need to have a bucket of cold water dumped over their pointy little heads, because that ain’t what civil liberties, the foundation upon which civil rights are built, are all about.

Our civil liberties are just that: ours.  The right to worship in peace is the first and most fundamental civil liberty we have!  There are multiple civil rights laws against depriving your fellow Americans of it.  Happily we have seen our Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dillon promise to enforce those laws.  Whether or not she will be successful, given the frightening prevalence of lefty activists up and down every level of the judiciary, remains to be seen, but we can hope.

And in case you thought it was just some random civil rights attorney, nope.  Former congressman now Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison sees nothing wrong with what the agitators did:

Is it malice?  Ignorance?  Both?  I’m thinking both, but leaning heavily towards malice.

And here we have a Minnesota State Representative as yet another person being wildly irresponsible with the power he has to lead people.  How do they not realize how dangerous this is?  How anti-civil, anti-civil rights, and anti-liberty this is?  How do they not realize how truly dark this is?

At what point do we throw up our hands and realize we cannot share a country with people like this?  Before or after the people with the power to arrest them let us down?

And just as a kind of cherry on top, we have Michelle Obama inverting and perverting civil rights as only an Obama could, pampered and adored by a small group of sycophants hanging on her every word.  No whites allowed.

It’s in no small part due to her and her husband we are in the fix we are in right now.  Race relations were at an all time positive high when he took office in January 2009.  And now look at us.

Civil rights belong to all of us, and it’s time we reclaim them from being a “black thing” to being an “everybody thing.”  All lives matter.  All people’s civil rights matter.  All of them and all of us.
