Would you consider it racist for one to choose to contract with blacks, but at the same time believe the const should not have allowed the gvot the power to punish individuals who chose not to contract with blacks? That was Goldwater's belief.Now if Hillary is elected that meme will change to sexist.
Liberals just can't fathom that people vehemently disagree with their positions. Their tunnel vision blinds them completely to the fact that their train of thought is but one narrow view of the world.
If you disagree with the 1964 Civil Rights Act because you believe your business should have the right to refuse service to blacks,
you would be a racist, wouldn't you?
edit, that said, it was racist of Donnie Two Tone to ride the Birther in Chief mantle for attention for 8 years.
All the Constitution says is government cannot discriminate against blacks. It grants zero power to government to allow it to force citizens to not discriminate. Just like free speech. Government cannot prosecute you for your views. However, your employer can fire you for speaking them.
The whole idea that government can force citizens to deal with each other is an abomination to liberty. And the reality is it's virtually unnecessary. Businesses want customers. The color we care about is green.
I know, I know, but Jim Crow! Actually, Jim Crow, was government. Forcing citizens to not deal with each other was just as much an abomination to liberty as forcing us to deal with each other. Government should have no say
The Constitution explicitly gives citizens equal protection under the law.
