I moved this to politics...so people can discuss it if they want to.

Most Americans feel exactly the way Andy R. does.....they are just exhausted from fighting the ACLU. Everyone in America has a lobby group except the white American male. Everyone needs their rights and a way to obtain their rights legally, but the white American male has no one to fight for his rights.

Females can have a business and hire only females. Ethnic groups can have a business and only hire those who share their heritage. A white man can have a business....but he has to hire one of these and two of those or he gets sued. It's ridiculous.
