Civil Rights cannot be determined by popular vote!!!! Remember slavery and the 1960’s? DUH.

***HG Says***

There are two sides to civil rights. One side said slavery was right, and with that majority it was the law, then the majority of people said slavery was wrong, and slavery was made illegal.

The group on the other side of the law always says the group on the side of the current law is immoral, and wrong. At this time, gay marriage is banned, and that was decided by the majority of voters in California twice.

Civil rights is decided by popular vote, when judges try to legislate from the bench by overturning the first law voted for by the majority of voters, or legislators ignore the majority of voter’s wishes.

History always repeats itself. There’s a good chance slavery in some form could exist again. The next time it could be blacks making whites slaves. You might say slavery is wrong at that time, but if you’re black, and you own a white slave, you might not agree, and the law might not either. History has a lot to teach us, but it doesn’t always mean we won’t repeat the same mistakes.
