Other than the 1488 crowd wanting to be able to say ‘no blacks allowed’ in certain businesses, I’m genuinely curious what else is in there that should make it get repealed?
I personally would like it not repealed mainly because I would be personally affected by said policy obviously, but I’m curious in the reasons outside of just that, if y’all have reasons other than that, as AFAIK, the CRA violates freedom of assembly in the view of people who have that opinion.
I'm 95% with you, but I do think discriminating on the bases of race or gender should be illegal. None of this protected class or affirmative action crap, just 100% color blind ban on racial discrimination. The only thing that should be considered when hiring someone is whether they can do the job.
of course, the burden of proof always lies with the accuser, and so the accuser should be the person responsible for providing proof that they were discriminated on by race, and not just because they were not qualified.
Here’s the thing, it’s one case to say if the government itself is discriminating, it’s a whole different beast when we look at how the law is applied, don’t forget all the fake racism cases that have imploded over that sentiment and completely ruined lives simply because someone was offended
you touch on one of the other significant problems that needs to be addressed. a false accusation should bear a heavy penalty. I'm of the opinion that a false accusation should have the same consequence as that of the accused crime. if you lie about someone racially discriminating it against you in the workplace, and they can prove it, you should pay whatever fine that carries. the way I see it, this is the only way to prevent the law from being abused by average citizens.
Okay, what if someone holds the sincere belief that women or a particular race can't do the job as well as other applicants? Should they be forced to hire them anyway because that judgement is based on race or sex?
And even if that person does not believe that women or a particular race would perform worse, but they simply feel uncomfortable around them or have some personal belief that would be in conflict with hiring them, why should they be forced to? Isn't that tyrannical? Why should the government get to dictate acceptable hiring criteria to private business owners?
