61. We've never really over come discrimination we quite possibly never will.
Because once we protect a group from discrimination. Society finds another group of people to make it acceptable to discriminate against. Case in point is Drug Users. They can be denied housing and employment simply because they use drugs. That forces them to lie about their drug use or resort to crime to survive. But that just makes it easier for you to label them all liars and criminals. It's perfectly acceptable to deny them the right to be judged on their individual merit's. We judge them as a whole always using the worst amongst them to represent the whole group. A lot of this is the same things that used to be done to blacks. In talking about blacks. Murders and rapist were used as examples of typical blacks instead of people like Dr. King. As always it will be the death of society to give these discriminated against people equal rights and allow them to be successful in life. Be it blacks, gays, muslims or even drug users.
