---This is a follow-up to my "Psycho Dave says Ron Paul is a nutcase" post.---
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 is applauded as a great achievement in 20th Century U.S. History. But is it really? Were not blacks already getting their prestige and rights? Did not the Civil Rights Act simply HAMPER them and make them evil in the eyes of the rest of America? Is it not a bill asking for blacks and certain other groups to have more and more until they have more than everyone else? Were not the civil rights leaders (who were black) racist? Maybe not Martin Luther King Jr, but he had horrible traits. He beat up women, and he was a lousy Communist. He also embarrassed the United States by complaining about the injustices he was suffering, which I'm not sure what were, since he was not very clear. Go figure. Also, my big beef with the Act is, I admit it, it hurts business and the private sector. The Business and Private Sectors ARE people too, and deserve the same rights, and no Act inspired by a Communist should hinder them.
If that's the image of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, I say we do away with it and start fresh. Let Blacks and Gays get their rights naturally, not hand it to them. Let them prove themselves!

When did white people ever have to "prove themselves" worthy of voting? The vote has literally been given to all white males, and then, following the 19th Amendment, Women, simply for having an 18th birthday.
Why should black people be given any more of a test than whites?
If you're going to argue that the revolutionary war gave whites the right to vote, you are excluding all the blacks who fought in it, as well.
If you argue that the civil war or any war was the test, then ytou ignore all the blacks that fought in those wars to.
If you argue that raising a coalition of people to petition the government, write a bill, and get it passed into law is "the natural way" to get rights (which Susan B. Anthony and sufferagettes did to get their right to vote), then Black people have already done that.
Essentially, if you require that black people have to pass some kind of a test that white people don't have to pass, in order to "get rights" like voting, then you are a racist, because you're holding black people to a different set of standards.

I glazed over these comments so I forgot to answer them properly.
WHAT blacks who fought in the revolutionary war? The cooks for the real soldiers you mean? What?
