Jean,

Does this mean that the hysteria of WHITES against apartheid is also
exaggerated? After all it only applies to the basic rights of BLACKS.
In fact it only applies to SOUTH AFRICAN blacks, so why should 
AMERICAN blacks care? 

Just because a law only infringes on someone else's personal rights
doesn't mean that it is of no concern to you. It's still very wrong!
Attitudes such as yours are extremely self centered and narrow minded.
I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate it much if I (as a male) made an equally 
callous statement about discrimination against women.

As a heterosexual male, I am quite outraged by this particular ruling
and I don't consider my feelings to be exaggerated hysteria.
