On June 4, 2004, while other members of Congress honored the 40th anniversary of the historic act, Paul stood on the floor of the House of Representatives and delivered a diatribe against integration, claiming it violated the Constitution “while diminishing individual freedoms.”

“The Civil Rights Act of 1964 not only violated the Constitution and reduced individual liberty; it also failed to achieve its stated goals of promoting racial harmony and a color-blind society,” Paul declared.

Not a surprising statement from a man who is touted on white supremacist web sites as their candidate for President.

i don't think Paul's opposition to the civil rights act makes him a racist, he just thinks it is ok for private business owners to discriminate on any basis they choose.

Correct.

If Korea grocer in New York City only hires other Koreans, should the federal government be able to use their heavy hand to fine him, put him out of business, and perhaps even jail him?

That's the question.

To me the answer is no, because property rights are a fundamental and necessary component of individual rights.

Quite frankly, in this day and age, with information zipping around the world at the speed of light on the internet, overt acts of discrimination by small business owners will bring punishment -- the punishment of the market as people refuse to do business with them. Of course, there will be exceptions, but there are exceptions to everything in life. So what?

Yes. In fact I live in Korea town and many if not all the Korean grocers have hired non Koreans to be cashiers and stock clerks, etc.

In fact, the Korean owned grocer I patronize has a deli section staffed by Americans who look to be of Italian decent (as far as I can tell of their ethnicity).
