Should a black restaurant owner be forced to serve members of the Ku Klux Klan?
(I keep seeing questions attacking Rand Paul, calling him a racist for his position on the Civil Rights Act. Rand Paul is not a racist, and has repeated many times that he isn’t. He even said he would march along with Martin Luther King Jr.
The Civil Rights Act gave the federal government unprecedented power over the hiring, employee relations, and customer service practices of every business in the country. The result was a massive violation of the rights of private property and contract, which are the bedrocks of free society. The federal government has no legitimate authority to infringe on the rights of private property owners to use their property as they please and to form (or not form) contracts with terms mutually agreeable to all parties. The rights of all private property owners, even those whose actions decent people find abhorrent, must be respected if we are to maintain a free society.
If we repealed the Civil Rights Act today, I doubt any businesses would put up “No Blacks Allowed” signs in their windows. It would be bad for business. I would not shop at a store like that, and I’m guessing you wouldn’t, and neither would most other people. A business would be economically foolish to discriminate in today’s society based on race.)
