The Civil Rights Act of 1964 needs to be revisited, because it grossly overstepped the boundaries of government power by prohibiting individual action.
Laws against racism and discrimination should be exclusively about limiting government power to discriminate and/and or force segregation with regard to the government policies, law enforcement, government institutions and facilities. The injustices of the Jim Crow era were legally enforced by the government, and the Jim
Crow era laws needed to be eliminated.
But free individuals have a right to choose with whom they will or will not associate. If society wants to impose sanctions on racist a-holes, that's fine, as long as it's done socially (i.e. boycotts and shunning) and not legally.
Much of the government over reach we have seen in the past 50 years is due to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 being commandeered by the left to limit the rights of the people relating to pretty much all private activity, instead of being limited to curtailing the powers of the government.
If black people want to live exclusively with black people at private colleges, that is their right if the college chooses to adopt that policy. But that same right also must be recognized for all other races and ethnic groups as well.
Let society condemn them, but the law should mind it's own business.
Well said! It’s not a bad idea to revisit the Civil Rights Act. We can see that along with good came an awful lot of bad. But no one has gone there yet! Another idea might be to use the Civil Rights Act by identifying Americans, that is those who are traditional and follow the culture that was handed down to us, as being an endangered and discriminated against group, after all the Civil Rights Act prevents discrimination based on many things and one of them is national origin. It’s a possibility it could be worked up by lawyers and used to prevent the left from constantly mocking, denigrating and demonizing Americans, those of us who love the Constitution and think old George Washington was a great guy. It might prevent and be a way to straighten out the media’s one-sided reporting because they will not be allowed to attack our kind of Americans( the non-communist kind) the same thing would go for Education it could be used as a tool.
