White straight Christians are routinely refused basic rights in all Western countries, what are you smoking?
Have you ever heard of the freedom of association? If this board is supposed to be coming from a libertarian point of view, at least research what Barry Goldwater said about the Civil Rights Act and why he voted against it. It's a clear violation of freedom.
You can't force people to violate themselves so that other people's feelings don't get hurt. Principles are actually more important than the ego of degenerates.

Rights are not absolute. Rights can be curtailed to respect the rights of others and the common interest.
Now, which rights were violated and in which circumstances?

Not specific enough. People do not have a right to say whatever they want about others. If an utterance is a lie and it damages another person's reputation, the person who made this declaration is liable.

Self-awareness is not their forte, would it seem.
Look, Neo Germany, I’m Belgian, which many people argue is overrun by nonwhite muslim immigrants. I’m also white & straight myself. And yet I am NOT lacking in any basic rights here. But then again, I don’t see “being a hateful bigot” as a “basic right”.
ND: “White straight Christians are routinely refused basic rights in all Western countries, their rights to live IN A WORLD where only THEIR lives matter, only THEIR concerns are valid and only THEIR religion’s God is considered more than an IF!”

My immediate suspicion is that you expect privilege and you’re not lacking any rights whatsoever.
“Have you ever heard of the freedom of association?”
Yes. You have this weird idea that it means you have a right to decide who your neighbors are. But your right to decide who to associate with does not extend to limiting other people’s freedom to move into your neighborhood.
“If this board is supposed to be coming from a libertarian point of view, at least research what Barry Goldwater said about the Civil Rights Act and why he voted against it. It's a clear violation of freedom.”
No, sweetie. Guaranteeing rights for minorities doesn’t take away any freedoms of yours. Simply privilege you feel you should enjoy based on your skin color.
“You can't force people to violate themselves so that other people's feelings don't get hurt.”
That depends on the feelings, doesn’t it?
Not all feelings deserve to be protected. White nationalist self-importance for example.
Also moral superiority based on what makes your dick hard is not a good place.
“Principles are actually more important than the ego of degenerates.”
Oh, go fuck a lamp socket.
Sure, you’re free to say what you want.
But you can’t be free to avoid the consequences of certain things you say.
These days, it’s what I call the ‘Three Fs’: Fuck Fundies’ Feelings.
Try being non Christian non White in bible belt. When I was in college in Wilson, NC, I'd visit my aunt in Fuquay. She told me I should keep my beliefs hidden, that non Christians are not accepted. Are you angry you can't kill non Christians?

“white straight Christian” doesn’t automatically mean “racist and homophobic” as well.
Something I noticed is that social media accounts prominently advertizing themselves as "Christian" are often not the typical Christian either. The elitism is often immediately perceptible.
And on collaborative projects like Wikipedia, many of those also end up promoting unreliable sources and aiming to "fix the encyclopedia", complaining of bias, etc. Of course, some may really be trolling accounts, but it's rarely clear. On the other hand it's not rare to learn that many old time productive editors are also Christian, but it's not like a prominent fashion statement or identity game to them, unlike for the other cases I mention... And since most of the content and sources represent and was written by the majority, some are even aware of the systemic bias involved in that.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
