State laws requiring segregation of blacks from whites are another matter and are unconstitutional (14th Amendment). The feds have a Constitutional right to interfere with state laws that require segregation of blacks form whites.
However, the feds have no other Constitutional authority to interfere with any other form of discrimination on the state level and the feds have no Constitutional authority to interfere with the God given right of individuals and businesses to exercise their freedom of discrimination (freedom to choose) as they see fit.
RE: Individuals and businesses have every right to discriminate however they want. There’s nothing wrong with personal discrimination.
Actually, I have to disagree. Personal discrimination is sometimes MORALLY WRONG.
For instance, refusing to serve a person simply because he is black is MORALLY WRONG.
The issue however is this — in America and our constitution, is it the government’s job to tell you what is and is not moral?
If you are mean to others, should there be a law that outlaws meanness?
If the answer is no, then based on the fundamental law of this country, we’ll just have to live with the person’s meanness and ostracize him/her PERSONALLY. Why should the bureaucracy insert itself in the situation?
Individuals and businesses have every right to discriminate however they want. There’s nothing wrong with personal discrimination. Discrimination (freedom to choose) is our God-given right.
Totally agree with papanew there.
If government forces a private business(like a doctor) to give service to some one that’s socialism/totalitarianism . a private business is like your home as it is your property (just as this site is) . you have a right to not let anyone into your home even if you advertise for a garage sale. you can kick out anyone out of your home . what you are advocating is empowering government to take over our individual rights . you trust government to make the right decision over a private business owner.
the key battle is between individual rights(right to ownership) and between the growth of government power. if you empower government in any area you lessen our rights and freedom and weaken the right to ownership: that is you advance socialist/government and tilt the balance to government over the individual. see the key battle we face is between collectivism/socialism and individualism/capitalism/freedom. if you own your property then you can self government. private property ownersship is the key . any lessening of that right with all these laws and regs chips away at that right to ownership(capitalism) and that is their goal( the socialists/democrasts/collectivists).
government just needs to leave us , our kids etc. alone
only military and border control for the federal gov
local govs can deal only with laws that prevent the use of force (assault, murder, kidnapping, stealing) etc. and just courts to act as referees where individuals can settle disputes of contracts , land, etc. courts with jury’s of your peers not gov morons deciding what’s right at any level. gov schools are an abomination, so is the EPA,IRS etc. No one can be deprived of their right to freedom,privacy , property with out the due process of law in a court of law and judged by a jury of your peers. government morons can NEVER make any law that doesn’t deal with protecting property rights or preventing force. government education? no way, gov healthcare and charity ? by what right do these democrat/government goons have to deprive us of our rights and property (half our income) to do fake global warming studies? so yes patents , property rights, no stealing , no murder, no harrassment etc. those can be written in a few laws, a few pages. everything else is not the province nor business of government.instead there are room fulls of laws that impose tyranny on us .
and i don’t agree with you on that post seekandfind . never. give me liberty or give me death
Correct. Jim Crow laws, this bill is sometimes compared to them, made it illegal for white businesses to sell to blacks whether they wanted to or not.
This bill does nothing of the sort.
