The pendulum should have stopped in the middle affording equal protection for all.

This was, however, predictable, and it was predicted.

Nobody listened.

The “Civil Rights Act” should never have become part of American law, past “discrimination” notwithstanding.

Regardless of how the law was supposed to operate, its unintended consequence was to create entire groups (racial, ethnic) of “protected” persons with “civil rights” -greater than- ordinary (i.e., “non-protected) groups.

This is right out of Orwell’s “Animal Farm”:
“All the animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”

What’s worse, another consequence of the law was the “discrimination industry”, headed by folks like Jesse Jackson, et. al. For with the creation of protected groups, there now became the need to seek out and “correct” every potential shard of “discrimination”.

And all the while, the discrim-industry, aided and abetted by the left-leaning education cabal, indoctrinates the young with the theme that if one is a minority, one must naturally be the “victim” of discrimation of the evil Euros, since the beginning of time.

And it doesn’t improve. With each groveling of the Euros before the discrim-industry, the caterwauling is never assuaged. Rather, it intensifies, for every time the Euros concede, that becomes further proof of their “racism” in the first place.

The final result is that after 50 years of the civil rights industry attacking racism, not only has their “business” not shrunk, but instead has grown. As they say, if you subsidize something, you get MORE of it.

And that’s what the Civil Rights Act does:
It subsidizes “racism”.

Want people to truly be equal?
Fine.
Then repeal the Civil Rights Act, which by design or default will forever prevent that goal from becoming reality...

Did any speech given so far during this Black History month, mention the sacrifices of the 330,000 WHITE UNION SOLDIERS who died by the Lincoln and Abolitionist Administration directives in the pursuit of The Union and the Slave Freedom?
Of course, the suffering and their loss to their families is not worth mentioning.
