Libertarianism on The Civil Rights Act? (Libertarians, laws, discrimination, against)

[knowledgeiskey]

Does the idea of libertarianism agree with the civil rights act?

[EinsteinsGhost]

Libertarianism in applied politics doesn't. It agrees on loss of an individual's freedom with those who were destined to lose it, at the expense of those who would be the victims.

Forbidding discrimination based on certain categories is definitely not a libertarian thing to do.

Nope. To think that you can pass laws that grant civil rights to human beings, thus denying the fact that they are BORN with these rights, is an atrocious and discriminatory premise.

Who is born, and who is not?

I'll wittle it down.

This is what the civil rights act says to a libertarian, "Hey, black guy. You aren't really born with rights. Thanks to the civil rights act, though, you can have rights like the rest of us. You need a civil rights act, no one else does though."
