Here’s a hypothetical question — would blacks be enjoying the kind of freedom they have today if the Civil Rights Act were not passed?

I believe they would be enjoying MORE freedom.

Depends on which Civil rights Acts you are referring.

I will say that Blacks would be much better off if Johnson’s War on Poverty was never waged.

I will respond to your “hypothetical”, but what “kind of freedom” are you talking about? All American Citizens are guaranteed their God Given Rights under the Constitution, as they were before any Civil Rights Legislation was passed.

To your question, if White People are as Racist as Obama and Holder say they are, probably not. Since I don’t buy this Racist stuff, I really can’t agree with your Premise.

If you believe Civil Rights Legislation can force Private Citizens to provide services to any other person without exception, you should have no problem with a Baker being forced by threat of Financial Ruin or even imprisonment to use his skills to Bake a Cake for some perpetually offended Libtard.

Now, if you have a Government Agency treating certain Citizens differently than any others, that’s a different story. That kind of act is nothing but naked Tyranny.

Why isn’t a violation of the Civil Rights Act when people are attacked and singled out by the IRS, or any other Alphabet Agency cowtowing to the Liberal Regime in power?

Legislation should limit Government, not the Freedoms of the Governed. As I stated in my original Post, the Civil Rights Act violated the Constitutional Rights of all Citizens, no matter their Race, Creed or Color to freely Associate. I guess we should add Religious and Political Beliefs just to cover all the bases.

Forced Tolerance is intolerable in a Free Society.
