Why can't America have a all black or minority commission that makes laws and rules that benefit minorities be

Question

Why is that laws affecting minorities and people of color cant be established and enforced by minorities and people of color?
How would the white fellow Americans feel if people of color made all the rules and laws relating to fairness, injustice, inequality and racial discrimination?
Would the White Americans feel offended or would they feel minorities are not fit or should not have that right?
Why are all laws of fairness, injustice and racial discrimination made by all white congress and senators? Is this fair? Is it fair, Is this morally correct? Should the laws of civil rights, injustice, equality be made by minorities only since they are the ones who are and have been subjected to injustice and racism?
Is it time to answer such questions?
Should'nt the civil rights laws be made by people of color and minorities since it affects them directly and adversly?
Who here has the moral and ethical right to make policies and laws affecting the lives of people of color and minorities

Answer 1

I'm considered as part of the "minority" group...but if and when minorities and people of color take over our government in a complete sense, it will be a living hell. These people have freedom and yet, they continue to live in the past. They have to shut up and let it go. Let's keep things the way they are. We are better off this way!

Answer 2

Well I believe people vote for those board members and if they are voted in I don't think their race will matter.
The thing I don't understand is why anyone should get certain rights for the color of their skin. I don't get any special rights for being white. Who is the minorities that you are speaking of? Chris Rock said it best if you don't want to be treated like a minority then don't act like one. This day and age there is such a fear of being sued that you can't even fire someone for bad job performance if they are of any other race than white. However if you are a white man over 40 you are screwed. I am 26 year old female and even I see that.


Just to let you know I do know how it feels to be a minority I was the only white kid in my school for 5 years. On top of that I was poor and spoke with a Tennessee Accent but I had to deal with it. I didn't have a choice what color I was born. The teachers gave me a hard time because I wasn't like them. The kids were even worse but you know I made it through just fine.

Great question. Maybe this will bring more people out to vote.

Answer 3

First it violates the concept that Americans are Americans not some sub group or culture then American.

Second it violates the Constitution.

Third it effects more than people of that ethnic group. So it would introduce an instant prejudice in such situations. Though both sides would accuse them no matter what they did of showing preferential treatment.

Ethnic groups are artificial constraints. Within each ethnic group are many sub groups. As such you'd soon see this splitner into thousands of sub comittees. Let's take Black for example. You have Hispanic Blacks, American Blacks, Blacks from Africa, Carabean Blacks, Asian and Australian Blacks. That is just the ethnic breakdowns. Religion, politics, age, location in the country and a thousand other factors would lead to the Southern comunist Islamic carabean Black committee which might be in a virtual war with the Southern Democratic Protestant Baptist American Black committee.

In short the second you put something in front of American you've isolated yourself from the rest of the US. As a nation we are or are not all of the same nation. We can work toward a great nation or we can kill each other in a cival war. The choice is ours. Hyphonated Americans is a step to cival war.

Answer 4

I want a honest judge that knows his job, to bring me to court, one that will research the charges and facts, a congressman that wants the better for his people to make the laws, I want the truth to be before us all, reguardless of his color or culture.

The definition of a minority group can vary, depending on specific context, but generally refers to either a sub-group that does not form either a majority or a plurality of the total population, or a group that, while not necessarily a numerical minority, is disadvantaged or otherwise has less power (whether political or economic) than a dominant group. Examples of minorities in this latter context include women in some countries and African Americans in Mississippi in the 1920s.[1]

In a socio-economic context, the term "minority" tends to refer to groups of people who, according to a particular set of criteria, are fewer in population than other ethnic groups. All criteria for ethnicity have bearing on designating a minority — language, nationality, religion or culture. Often this means it is outnumbered by at least one other sub-group, but not always.

In politics, a minority government may be one which is formed by a party with a plurality of seats in the national legislature, when no majority party exists. AssumptionsIn the United States, the term minority typically refers to members of the non-white population, but as the numerical, social, economic, political and cultural influence of whites erodes over time in the US, and the "browning of America" is now an irreversible process, the wisdom of using the term "minority" to identify non-whites is increasingly questioned and considered offensive. In sociologyA majority, in sociological terms, is that segment of the population that outnumbers all others combined, one that is dominant. The term minority is unavoidably associated with the political movements which push for assimilation, in which the minority group sheds its distinctive traits and is absorbed into the dominant group.

Generally speaking, a minority is any disadvantaged group, regardless of their size in comparison to the rest of the population. An example would be blacks in South Africa under the apartheid system.

Answer 5

That has been a problem since segregation was banned. I think the law in general has "loop holes" that need to be closed. The same problem goes with The No Child Left Behind Act and school's falsifying test scores to the state/nation because of minority AND they get away with it.

Answer 6

if you had to do that, then we would too. I know it seems like our country is run by all whites, but if a person of color wanted to be president(and was eligable of course) then he certainly could... and would probably be elected as well... plus, america is trying to bring the races together not segregate them and that would make us even more separate than we already are... and everyone knows that is not what we want to happen. dont you want to be more unified as a country? that would eliminate all the work we have done so far so I believe that that is not the answer.

Answer 7

After reading the thread titles and who posted them I would have to say you are spamming the forum.

Your heart is in the right place, but you are going about it all wrong.

Answer 8

You know, i saw a white man asking a black judge about his ruling the other day. Then the mexican policeman handcuffed him and the chinese policeman escorted him away.

Answer 9

We tried segregation once before, and I'm pretty sure we all know how well that one worked out.

Answer 10

That would be discrimination.
