Barry Goldwater was a libertarian.
In alot of cases, perhaps. In Barry Goldwater's case, yes. In the case of Gary Johnson, he went on record to say that he would have signed the Civil Rights Act. This caused some issues between him and other libertarians.

But just the same, if alot of people wonder why so many Blacks haven't voted for the GOP in a long time, 1964 is one year to look at.

1) What has the GOP done for Black people in the last 35-40 years?
2) Why do you care who Black people vote for? How it is any of YOUR business?
In Joe Biden's case the question is...

What has Biden done to black people in the last 35-40 years?

the answer is ... Biden's crime bill put countless thousands of black people in jail for minor crimes.

Heart of Atlanta Motel vs. United States, and Katzenbach vs. McClung are the US Supreme Court cases that affirm this - no discrimination in public accommodations.
The fact that someone would want to have the right to discriminate against someone based on race is sad. This is why I'm in favor of the Civil Rights Act.

How much? Not really relevant at all. The question I'm about the pose, it is relevant.

Why is there such an obsession about who Blacks vote for?

I thought it was relevant, I wanted a large bag because I knew it would be a long debate and I was right, no end in sight.

Because the Democrats throw crumbs at them, and many prefer to cling to those crumbs. For some people, it's due to laziness; for others, it's a lack of self-confidence. They simply don't believe they can be successful on their own.

Naw, that's just a well-worn trope.

Again, if the Republicans are all what you've said - then why are significant majorities of people of color not buying it? And if they're sincere about going after their votes, why do many Republicans believe that crap you just wrote, and continue to insult and denigrate voters of color with that sort of attitude?

I believe everyone should have the legal right to discriminate whoever they want, for whatever reason. That includes race, gender, sexual orientation, height, weight, color of the shoes, size of the hand... whatever.

What "crap" exactly did I write? Where did you see me insult or denigrate voters of color, or anyone for that matter?
