Thank you, Spiff, for the legal education. The ridiculous examples provided were meant to be humerous.

Oh, I do know the difference. Here my friend is the definition of "Civil Rights."

"The protections and privileges of personal liberty given to all U.S. citizens by the Constitution and Bill of Rights."

Again, it case it wasn't clear...this applies to the interaction of the Government with the citizenry...DOES NOT APPLY TO PRIVATE ENTITIES!
