You do realize you've made the assumption that business would discriminate by default.

What I found entertaining was Rand Paul's insistence on not
answering questions about the comments he made. Quote:

Sound pretty far fetched doesn’t it? No, not to anyone older than 40 because when we were kids this kind of “justice” was laid on people all the time. This IS American History. Civil rights and government “interference” are not just isolated incidences of the state of feds minding other peoples business, they are a SYSTEM OF LAWS, PRACTICES, AND PROCEDURES that have been developed because it has been established and proven that the people, and towns, and businesses cannot be relied on to do what is right. You may want chaos – especially when you are in the majority, but living as a minority you know that these laws are REQUIRED. The only other alternative is to have anarchy and to have everyone armed to the teeth and walking around doing whatever they want to whoever they want and getting away with it (or not) based on their relative strength. Mad Max is an entertaining movie but would you want to have to live in that world – and if you would, I doubt you could.

I would have thought that the civil rights act (and the disabled persons act) helps to establish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for all citizens. In contrast, not supporting the need for it is proposing that there would be more tranquility, liberty, etc, without the laws in place. I personally don't think that would happen. That was why I called him naive, and not a racist.
Interested in all the sports analogies that have been offered up, but I am not sure why they are focusing on employees, when the focus should be on customers. It isn't about whether there are enough black or white players in a league, but rather whether black fans or white fans should pay different ticket prices to attend such games, based only on the colour of their skin. That gets back to the businessman analogy. Sure, it may be a stupid policy for that business. But if they did it, would you have more tranquility in society? I think not. The laws send a signal about what is right, what is expected, because you can't expect hundreds of millions of people to think the same way.

Nope. I live by the assumption that all people are good and decent. However, I realize that the Act of '64 is still necessary.

But I believe that they are blinded by the false notion that things used to be so much better back when... ...when in fact that is a lie. The reality of “back then” was that many suffered and were inconvenienced at the whim of the rich who ran roughshod over the entire population. They were the ones who made the laws and they were the one who ignored those same laws with impunity. Now, If they were all mountain men who each had 100,000 acres of their own to hunt and survive on and did not see another human but once in a blue moon, that's one thing; but they live in a community, a state, a country with three hundred million other souls and a world with 6 billion and the sooner they realize that their selfish thoughts and concerns have to be made subservient to the "will of the people," and to “what is best for most people,” the sooner we will all be better off.

So if I punch you in the face, does it really make a difference if I am arrested and prosecuted for criminal battery so long as you learned not to cross my path anymore? I'm just saying... you don't need government interference.

OK I must have missed it. Did you answer this question? You tell me what's preventing white people from playing basketball.
I don't get how their being shut out of the game..... With all the countless programs in colleges across the country what the excuse??? Quote:
