Hard to say that the right to be heard is objectionable imo

Everybody should have the same right to be heard. Different people having different rights to be heard, based on their race, is absolutely objectionable. And racist.

You’re looking at a set of unequal scales and saying they should be equal, while refusing to place more weight onto either side…

Enshrining racial differences in the constitution is absolutely disgusting, no matter how good your intentions are.
