With the civil rights act I can see the government saying we won’t discriminate but it does violate free association. Goldwater’s concerns were correct. Especially with the adding of “gender identity”
The civil rights act should be repealed. I should have the freedom to hire whoever I want. Why freedom of association ends at personal relationships is beyond me.
Even discussing government actions alone, the Civil Rights act and 14th amendments somehow started demanding racism once the legal system added "disparate impact" theory to the mix. A naive reading of the laws would make you think any Black man and any White man must be treated equally by the government. The courts don't see it that way. They look at the outcomes of government programs over entire "classes" of people. If the outcomes are different, that is seen as evidence that Blacks and Whites were treated differently, so the government must now start giving preferential treatment to Blacks.
Which is wrong. The only thing that can be guaranteed is equal opportunity assuming the person puts forth the effort. Disparate impact is an endless loop. Sowell has pointed out how there are numerous factors that can affect t people positively or negatively. I have tried to explain to some relatives that getting rid of affirmative action and firing those who constantly ramble on about historic systems oppression is better for blacks in the long run. Definitely better for whites and Asians because they can actually get a fair shot. I do think reversing the obsession with diversity and inclusion is possible but it’ll take a while
Civil Rights Act II -- referring to the second as merely THE Civil Rights Act plays directly into the left's game of pretending : (1) there's only one, and (2) they are responsible for it
First one was in the 50s and did most of the heavy lifting. Republican President, Republican Congress, a lot of veterans who remember fighting alongside 'colored' units in WWI and WWII behind the push. Also liberal Republicans, back when there were a bunch of those who weren't lying about it.
LBJ's hard-R voting Democrat for a hundred years bill was the one the libshits mark as the start of the modern era, despite the pace of income growth, family stability, and educational attainment catch-up slowing after '65 rather than accelerating.
The civil rights act and the constitution are mutually exclusive.
