Re: The just and the unjust ways to address modern racial inequality: affirmative act
"OK but that's not lying nor a tough assignment" is a personal attack? On what planet? You were the one pointing the finger. I was merely correcting you and pointing it back to the Republicants last 40 years to date of anti-minority behavior.
The bill was introduced by President John F. Kennedy in his civil rights speech of June 12, 1963, in which he asked for legislation "giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public—hotels, restaurants, theaters, retail stores, and similar establishments," as well as "greater protection for the right to vote."
He then sent a bill to Congress on June 19. Emulating the Civil Rights Act of 1875, Kennedy's civil rights bill included provisions to ban discrimination in public accommodations, and to enable the U.S. Attorney General to join in lawsuits against state governments which operated segregated school systems, among other provisions. But it did not include a number of provisions deemed essential by civil rights leaders including protection against police brutality, ending discrimination in private employment, or granting the Justice Department power to initiate desegregation or job discrimination lawsuits.
Here we'll all watch the Republicants be called out by name together...
