Minorities are not at a disadvantage in American society.

Rebuttal: It would seem the only minority my opponent cares about would be the LGBT. Job Opportunities: There are virtually no laws, regulations, or policies on the books that negatively target minority groups. In fact laws have actually been created to specifically aid them. Affirmative Action and The Civil Rights Act of 1964 are prime examples of the effort to ensure that everyone is on an equal playing field. Let's not forget that the same people that are "oppressed" are some of the richest people in the world. Professional athletes that earn millions of dollars to just play a game that choose to kneel during the anthem to protest oppression is one of the most ironic examples. Virtually every player in the NFL is in the top 1% of society. The LGBT community claims they are being oppressed and yet they can provide not even a shred of semi-solid proof to back up the claim. Instead they just put forth their feelings. One of the most obvious problems with feelings and opinions is that everyone has different versions. What offends one person may be perfectly acceptable to the next. Take Milo Yiannopoulos for example. He calls himself every name in the book ranging from a faggot, queer and everything in between. The point is none of those names offend him despite his sexual orientation. You cannot logically or morally make policy based on peoples feelings because the result is that you end up trying to take away the rights of others. Free speech being the relevant one to my point. Right now many in the LGBT are falsely labeling people homophobic or intolerant or trans people. They are even fighting to have people criminally prosecuted for speaking freely, speaking their minds. You may not like what other people have to say about you but that is their 1st amendment right so long as they are not calling for violence against anyone. Which many of the LGBT have openly called for on conservatives for example since they seem to be their primary targets. Calling people a neo-nazi when you have virtually no evidence to support such a disgusting allegation simply makes you a terrible person. Traditional Christians that hold the belief that homosexuality is a sin are routinely pushed from the public arena while others are free to accuse everyone else of being nazis. The hypocrisy is overwhelming and they simply don't see the contradictions in their actions. And it's only when these people become violent that they are arrested or that their protest is shut down. Peaceful protest is a right of all but violent protest isn't. I have tried to find some statistics on the unemployment rate of members of the LGBT community but was unsuccessful. https://www.americanprogress.org... The above link is the closest I could come to finding any sort of statistics however the problem with this site is that they don't list the source of the claims they make. They leave them completely unverifiable, basically telling the reader that they should just be trusted at their word. And again I refer back to the numerous false attacks the members of the LGBT have claimed. They are killing their credibility with these types of acts. Putting forth claims without any proof is again killing their credibility. When they are truly being discriminated against they should report their abusers to the proper authorities and present the evidence they have. That is the same burden of proof that every other group of people is expected to provide when they make an allegation against someone. To expect people to just simply trust them at their word is both immoral and naive.
