    To be fair, most places everyone has the same rights as each other now. It’s society that’s still behind the laws so we have to make unequal ones to force equality in society.

    Laws don’t change the way society thinks and behaves. Not for many generations later in some cases.

      You’ve got the right to a lawyer - just not decent representation

      You’ve got the right to buy a home - but good luck affording one

      You’ve got the right to free speech - but good luck being heard over people buying a voice or platform

      You’ve got a right to vote - lol no you don’t, you’re a felon (shame about that lawyer of yours), and the wealthy bought and paid for the politicians to represent their interests not yours.
