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.

As much of a kook as I think Paul is, I simply cannot find anything inaccurate in those comments.

IMHO, Paul overstates the goal

I heard MLK speak at Stanford University in the mid 60s, he said it wasn't possible to pass laws requiring others to love him, but it was possible to enforced laws prohibiting others from doing him injury.

Those laws existed prior to the passage of the civil rights act, they just weren't being enforced.

The reduction in discrimination was more to do with King and others calling attention to the problem, than the resulting legislation. It really did more harm than good. We'd be a lot closer to racial harmony if congress had done nothing. Government interference and their reverse discrimination mandate, aggravated racial discord.

I doubt it.

I lived through those times - it didn't look that way to me.

Legislation made it clear that discrimination based on race was unacceptable, period.

You must have lived in one of those lilly-white areas that didn't have any race riots.

Race riots didn't begin with the Civil Rights Act.

We had race riots in Richmond in the late fifties to '64.

1964, wasn't that the year the Civil Rights Act was signed?
