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.

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

'Lilly white' areas are great places to find racism as usually they are that way because of racist sentiments.

Eugene, Oregon is a very white place. There used to be a cross on the butte ajacent to the train station and blacks and oriental people coming through in the late 1800s or the early Twentieth Century knew that this was a standard subtle warning for anything but subtle reaction for the wrong person in a racist's eyes to be where they didn't want them.

We had laws here codifyng racism, and the KKK used to march in the Forth of july parade here every year.

Racism these days is very subtle in the commission to protect this mind-set in the face of justice having finally been brought to light in the overall sceme of things, and you can find it here.

I used to see it every day when I dealt with my bigotted Mom with whom I made no compromise ever with her hateful belief system on the subject.

It was one area in which she died an ignorant old conservative, and this is a shame; but she like all other racists have the same bizarre hatred of the human species that blights their being.

People who believe in or practice racism are beneath contempt in my own opinion, and I to not consider them in any good standing to trust or do business with if at all possible to not do so.
