It is not about picking and choosing which laws you want to enforce. It is about deciding like we have so many times in the past when a law is unjust. If women had never taken a stand, they would not be allowed to vote. If President Lincoln had not said slavery was wrong and abolished it, we would still have slaves. If people of color had not stood up and demand their Civil Rights, then they would still be excluded and separated from the white population. You know what really gets me, as a white person, is the superior attitude that white people have. It doesn't matter if a person of color is more successful, white people will always feel superior to every other race.
