Why are libertarians so anxious to be racist?

[Baka's Weird Case]

I don't much about libertarians but I do see some exhibiting that behavior on FB. I had to cut some dude I know off because some of the shyt he was saying. Why do they hate the civil rights act?

THey can basically use libertarian shyt to excuse opposing any anti-discrimination legislation with any anti-government argument.

like if were gonna say that restaurants cant refuse service to somebody because of their race, they can just say it should be "that businesses choice"

maybe theyll even mix some argument in like

"oh but then people should not buy from them for being racist let the free market ruin em"

if youre wondering why they specifically hate civil rights legislation as opposed to similar stuff like drug legislation its because civil rights legislation is still unpopular with a huge segment of white people in this country. real easy way to build up support for them. basically they dont think people should be limited to not discriminate...even if those people have much more power over the people theyre discriminating on

The problematic aspects(for libertarians) of the Civil Rights Act come down to Title II and Title VII which outlaw discriminatory hiring and selling practices by private employers.

Such an egalitarian mandate, sounds wonderful from a social engineering perspective... and if your idea of what constitutes a just society is one where everyone treats all races and genders "equally", how better to accomplish such a utopia then literally forcing people to behave accordingly with threat of monetary penalties and imprisonment?

From a liberty perspective however, such a policy is a direct affront on basic property rights.

What you libertarians fail to realize is that there's no such thing as property rights. You, as a private citizen, don't own shyt in the United States. You rent land. Doesn't matter if you buy it in cash. You do not own it. You can't therefore take your little piece of land, call it liberatopia, and secede from the U.S. so to think you have rights to practice illegalities on your property under the guise of "property rights" is a fallacy. You cannot commit civil rights violations on your land, period. Maybe on your private island, but not in America. That's where your libertarianism fails.

Also, libertarians think the free market would eradicate racism....lol yea right.

that's weird because every "republican" i've met in the last 10 years has said "i'm not a republican, i'm a libertarian" and then votes republican

:smarttrump:

White libertarians really hate the Civil Rights Act, because they no longer can discriminate against minorities.

they always have these hypothetical companies they run and hypothetical customers they have to deal with

What are your thoughts on title ll and title Vll though?

I believe people should be able to discriminate.

I also know for a fact that they do...Its not something you can legislate away.

You can't legislate it away completely but by making it illegal you can heavily reduce it's use.

No but it heavily reduced it's use.

Right...truth is no system is perfect because human beings are incredibly emotional creatures. Threat of law at least reduces our terrible impulses. It was either that or the civil rights movement maybe become violent and white government at the time was afraid of violent revolution and losing their moral standing in the world.
