Civil Rights Act 1964: Repeal?

[dblack]

This isn't a free nation if people can't live with their own kind.

Racist shitbag.

Your response doesn't show him to be wrong. If someone wants to live in an all white neighborhood and is prohibited in doing so because the Feds withhold neutral funding to the town until low cost housing is put into that neighborhood to beef up it's diversity (happened in Westchester County IIRC) then no, that's not a free nation.

Agreed. Still... 'racist shitbag' is my response.

 

[rdean]

Republicans believe in segregation.

Okay let's go with that.

I don't agree with Mathew being a racist shitbag, but I defend his right to be one.

Republicans believe in segregation.

Democrats on the other hand believe in forcing people who want nothing to do with each other to live with each other, and then wonder why their are problems.

I don't really care what "Republican's believe". What does rdean believe? Should we be allowed to decide who we associate with, or should government tell us how?

I've gathered that RDean "believes" exactly whatever the most extreme left position tells him to believe, with NO independent thought of his own.

That is wrong, but not what this thread is about.

These dumb shits are trying to claim that the COTUS states that people and businesses must treat people equally.

I know what this thread is about, but I'm taking exception to the response made by dblack to Matthew's claim that we're not a free nation if we're prevented from living with our own kind.

Here's the Westchester County oppression I referenced earlier:

A case in point is a fight that the federal Housing and Urban Development Department is waging against Westchester County, where I am county executive. In 2009, my predecessor signed a consent decree with the federal government to settle allegations that Westchester made false claims in connection with federal funds it received for affordable housing. The settlement called for the county to build at least 750 units of affordable housing in 31 so-called eligible or mostly white communities within seven years or face severe fines.

Two years later, the federal government, not content simply to see the housing built, is trying to use the settlement as a hammer to dismantle local zoning — oblivious to common sense, the rule of law and the bill to taxpayers. . . .

So what is the social ill that HUD would have us solve? HUD calls it de facto segregation, complaining that not enough African-Americans and Hispanics live on every block or neighborhood throughout the county.

That complaint, it turns out, is against local zoning. The hit list includes limits on multifamily housing, townhouse development, bedrooms per unit, minimum lot size and even sewers. In HUD’s mind, these add up to a set of restrictions that discriminate on the basis of race.

HUD now wants half of the 750 units required under the settlement to have three bedrooms — a brand-new requirement it concedes is outside of the agreement. Such an idea would double the cost of compliance at a time when Westchester, which already has the highest property taxes in the nation, is facing service cuts and hundreds of layoffs.

The federal government’s social engineering even goes so far as to add a page to Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” suggesting all the housing should be near “above-average schools.” Had it bothered to check, HUD would have found that Westchester’s worst-performing high school when it comes to the most fundamental academic performance metric, graduation rates, is above average on a statewide basis.

Where does it end? Is HUD going to call for the breakup of Vermont and Maine because they are 95% white? What about Chinatown or other predominantly ethnic city neighborhoods?
​

Matthew's point is very sound. People are trying to flee from minorities and the Federal Government is actively trying to block them from doing so. Is that a sign that we live in a free nation?

I reiterate, that is COMPLETELY off topic

CRA is law and will remain so.

Business regulation is law and will remain so.

Public accommodation laws govern businesses that hold out goods and services to the public, such as banks and restaurants and gun stores and movie plexes and so many other such activities, and will remain so.

Has SCOTUS or has SCOTUS NOT recently ruled that businesses have rights? Yes or no?

Dred Scott was law and would remain so until it was no longer law.

Thanks for your help there Starkey.

What's funny to watch is all these doctrinaire leftists defending profit-making businesses at the expense of the defense of human rights. Putting money above human rights. Tsk, Tsk, these tools of Big Business.

you know the sad part.

One day a minority business owner will sue over this law because they want to discriminate against whites and all these liberal idiots will change their position 100%, guaranteed.

Not me sir, I agree. The minority business owner has a right to discriminate against whites.

Liberals need the Civil Rights Act (which is now moot) as a reminder in their minds of how "bad and evil" America is. Liberal history begins in 1964. They hate the generation that won WWII. They can't accept that a segregated society would defeat Nazism. Ruins the victory for them. So Civil Rights Movement, that they want to fight over and over and over and over again...only divides America. Give the young generation a chance to grow without your liberal hatred.

Are you prouder that Nazis were defeated or that it was done by a segregationist society?

Keep twisting in the wind. How could Liberals (who established the Civil Rights Act) be full of hate while Conservatives (who opposed the Civil Rights Act) want to repeal it?

Why are Conservatives hell bent to erode Civil Rights? Is it because they want to bank the fires of discrimination because discrimination appeals so much for them? Who are the haters here?

If the Civil Rights Act of 1964 were repealed...does anyone REALLY think we would go back to segregation...or has society reached a point where it is now an unnecessary part of the past that only serves to divide people more? Example: Civil Rights Division of Justice Department that operates with complete disregard for the law.

After that maybe we could repeal the 13th Amendment too......I'll bet you'd really like that.

you have it exactly backwards


I have a right to do business with whom I please, you do NOT have a right to force me to do business with you. Seriously do you people have ANY critical thinking skills?

Perhaps you can explain the pressing need to repeal the Civil Rights Act with something besides superficial rhetorical nonsense.

Because it's the right thing to do
