Isn't it Caldwell who calls it 'the second constitution'? More and more, even in the mainstream, seem to believe that the harms done by so called civil rights legislation is greater than the benefits.
Also, they don't just deal with civil rights. A civil right is a right of a citizen (cives). This would include things like free speech, the right to vote, etc. It does not include the right to be treated equally by private actors.
The “civil rights” movement turned into a bully pulpit by the 80s and never looked back. Funny how the civil liberties always applied to “non-normative” people mean while “normative” people’s liberties have been eroded.
