thanks.
Thanks but ... really ... does it matter WHY Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act? No one is going to persuade me or hardly anyone that it is right that gas stations maintained separate restrooms for men, women and blacks and discriminated against them on buses and in restaurants. It was disgusting how blacks were treated. I saw it and lived through it. Yes, Goldwater could argue that the bill was flawed and Goldwater himself supported other civil rights legislation. But right now .. it doesn’t really matter anymore because no one is going to stand up and fight against that bill nor should they.
