Undoubtedly true, Kap, but that is a very weak commitment to equal rights, is it not? Aren't civil rights a part of our system precisely for those whom are disliked by the public?

Can you not dislike the way a group's way of trying to get those rights and thus not support them with your time/money but still ideologically support their rights?

I can say that I support civil rights for everyone but if I don't go out and donate my time and money there is little difference I'm making.

The "civil rights" movement of the past was successful because it involved people that were not black.
