If the government said that I was no longer allowed to be an American because of a group that I belonged to, I would feel alienated and really upset that I have to be rejected as an American citizen and have all of my rights rejected because of my group. I would fight for my rights and my citizenship back because why take away something just because different than their beliefs. Standing aside would also mean that many in my group would also lose hope of gaining those rights back and it would mean that history has repeated. I wouldn't fight with weapons or anything like that but like many people before me they fought with words and hope and that changed history forever, fighting with weapons would only make them believe that my group is a dangerous and make them provoke our rights and citizenship even more.
