That's exactly what it is. When one class of Americans has more freedoms and privileges than another class of Americans, we have "first" and "second" class citizens.
Don't try and sugar-coat it. At least have the intellectual honesty to call it as it is.
“Don’t try and sugar-coat it. At least have the intellectual honesty to call it as it is.”
I’ll call it like it is. Just like I call married people a seperate class and children a seperate class. These things are inevitable. Not always desirable from my point of view, but inevitable. I’m willing to live with class distinctions so long as they are reasonable.
For instance, we grant special status to married people for the sake of child-rearing. We treat children differently in the criminal justice system because their minds are not equivalent to the minds of adults. And we exclude foreign=born people from being president because we are wary of split loyalties. It seems to me a very small thing to give up, the shot to be president. We only elect one every four years.
