It's certainly the interpretation put on it by those who disagree with
the
idea that all should have equal rights and opportunities.

Equal rights and opportunity being a very different thing to claiming
that all people are the same.


without people being the same they de facto don't have any chance
whatsoever of equal opportunities.

And since all the rights some people have is to open their eyes, blink
once and die horribly from natural causes, equalling everyone to their
'rights' would not be wildly popular.

In the end 'equal rights and equal opportunities' is juts empty rhetoric.

How do you, for example, propose to give me an 'equal right and equal
opportunity' to become president of the Black Lawyers' Society?
