Rights are not created, bestowed, issued, manufactured, or handed out.

They aren't a license or a badge or something physical.

It’s an amazing case because the Hawaii Constitution has a provision that is the same as the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It literally uses the exact same words as the Second Amendment. And Justice Eddins said: Even though the provisions are the same, we will not interpret them the same way, because we think the U.S. Supreme Court clearly got it wrong in Heller when it said the Second Amendment creates an individual right to bear arms.

The bill of rights protects rights, it doesn't create rights. That is a pretty fundamental concept.

Maybe "accepting" would have been a better choice? I don't know.

I think it is bullshit to pretend that black people living in America have nothing in common with each other, which is what the person I responded to seemed to believe.

I'm surprised to see so many people supporting the actions of Gov. Abbott.

The paper included a decade’s worth of data from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention among Black women ages 25 to 44 across 30 states.

This seems weirdly specific.

Distrust of police and lack of faith in the justice system is common among the black population of the USA. However, I don't know what that other guy had in mind.

Yeah, I wasn't very clear about what I meant.

I was talking about this part:

I generally prefer not to have a shared identity across communities

Same. It makes it much easier for someone to doxx you.

OK, thanks for your pov.

Well, in the Bible, I know there were at least a few stories where Jesus didn’t take too kindly to what would be a modern day businessman.

What I meant was "Did he choose that example because of some current event?" I wasn't questioning whether members of the church should be upset about priests blessing crooks.
