repealing the civil rights act would be a slap to the face of those who went through the struggle to get equal rights to begin with.
i have great respect for the freedom riders, dr. king is a personal hero of mine. i dislike people trying to minimize and eliminate something that is ingrained in american history. civil rights legislation is arguably the most important piece of legislation passed, and i oppose somebody who would want to get rid of it.
also notice the only people who want to get rid of it are white.
as long as i get mine, why would i care about the other person. thats the mindset of most people.
Yeah thats what I figured. Remember when black people boycotted Denny's back in the 90s? The other races, not some much. I believe that what would happen with a Libertarian experiment. Hence the "wild card" called Human Nature.

exactly. why would i care if you cant get service somewhere.
i care about me getting service, and dont really care if you dont get it.
thats the mindset of most people, which is why i dont think people would really care.
the huntington valley swim club is the perfect example of that. the black and hispanic kids were kicked out because they were black and hispanic. the only people who protested were blacks, whites didnt give a damn since it didnt affect them.
thankfully the feds bankrupted there asses and that swim club is now bankrupt and gone.

Doesn't necessarily have to be eliminated, just a minor revision to remove the portions that reach into private affairs (with possible exclusion of private [or quasi-private] entities that are currently government funded, or which may currently be acting in some capacity as agents of the state).
Keep the remaining portion pertaining to governments relationship with its citizens with discriminated classes. In fact, if need be, extend the public portion such that it precludes non-performance based discrimination based on any form of sexual identity or preference. <--- That additional inclusion might solve a few pesky lingering political problems that have been going on for quite some time.

Some aspects of the Civil Rights Act makes sense, such as forbidding the federal government from discriminating against it's own citizens but other aspects, mainly those written as part of the Fair Housing Act, do not. The federal government oversteps its bounds by trying to dictate who a person can rent or sell their home to. A person's home is one of his greatest assets. He should be allowed to control who enters and lives there, for whatever reason that he sees fit. The Civil Rights Act tramples on property rights.

it does because blacks werent able to find any decent place because whites refused to let them live there.
when the whole system is rigged against you, you say f the system and rail against it.
the civil rights movement of the 60's gave a collective F you to a rigged system and corrected it.
i fear the people who want to get rid of the civil rights legislation want to rig the system again.
im also totally against it as well because its a cheap shot to king and all the other people who had the courage to take the beatings and the punishment for doing the right thing.
its white people trying to minimize it or are just clueless and dont understand the impact of it that annoys me.
one of the greatest men in american history who was behind one of the most important pieces of legislation and you have to minimize it, take away from it, and according to some people eliminate it all together. that crap pisses me off.
it also annoys me because it'll never be repealed anyway. just seems like race baiting more or less.

So your race makes you special?
I like to think I'm a person, not a color.

Well, I'm not White, so I appreciate what many Blacks like MLK Jr, Booker T. Washington and others did to turn America into a more accepting and hospitable nation for minorities. It was a long process and a difficult struggle. I don't deny or try to minimize that.
What I try to do is look at things objectively and not from the overly emotional point of view that many, including yourself, get caught up in. I understand that it's a sensitive issue, but for me personally, I'm past that. I care about what's fair. And one thing that isn't fair is the Fair Housing Act. It destroys the ability of a person to have control of his own home. If I rent out my home, I can't even ask a prospective tenant how many kids she has or else I can get sued for discrimination. These kind of ridiculous laws need to go.

It's not the place of the federal government to make sure people are nice to each other.
And on a side note, your kind of thinking only reaffirms the notion that black people are completely dependent on white people. Which they aren't, and shouldn't be.
