During the 1964 Civil Rights Act debates, Barry Goldwater opposed the bill due to 3 specific problems with it's "Titles", even though he had been a long supporter of the removal of racial discrimination laws. Barry Goldwater argued that in addition to several of the Titles granting sweeping authority to the federal congress that it never had the authority to have in the first place, he also pointed out that it seemed like several proponents and congressmen were going to try and introduce racial discrimination programs of their own, including racial quotas and possibly anti-white racial discrimination rules, laws, or edicts from bureaucrats.
He was called Hitlerian by MLK Jr, he was called an avowed racist, a conspiracy theorist, a supporter of the Klu Klux Klan, he was declared to be a paranoid schitzophrentic by over 5,000 psychologists as part of an CIA psy-op campaign, and he was spied on by the FBI. To this day, some "historians" will tell you this is the moment the Republican Party supported racism on it's platform, all of it stemming from LBJ smearing him during that years election.
In 1965, several Democrats proposed instituting race quotas and affirmative action policies; just as Goldwater had warned. That was 58 years ago.
It's actually hard to find what he said because the propaganda was so fierce.
Basically 3 specific parts of the bill that give congress apparently unlimited power to regulate private transactions. Several of which were later reduced and limited by courts because, yeah, congress can't regulate private home sales and the like.
The rest is what he suspected would come next, which did.
It's the most fucking, bald faced, back-stabbing, progressive, cancellation I've ever seen.
Nationally esteemed anti-segration activist and Civil Rights supporting politician, who won awards from the NAACP and ACLU, is then slandered as the original sin of all racism in America by the NAACP, the ACLU, Washington Post, New York Times, New York Post, Martin Luther King Jr., and fucking Jackie Robinson.
All because he had the audacity to win the Republican primary against the Nixon-Rockefeller establishment, and run a against the true greatest hero of America: Lyndon Banes Johnson. So much that LBJ had send the FBI & CIA on a war path against him.

I had heard he was an evil racist til I researched him and learned what he actually said. His fears have definitely come true

I have his book on my pile to read. I remember someone telling me he was racist and I educated him about how he got a lot of blacks hired in AZ
