The tragedy of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was that it took the words "must not" of Jim Crow and turned them into "must".

It was still the same principle - the government, in this case the Federal government, telling people what to do.

The option of FREEDOM (NOT telling people what to do) - was rejected. Both by Jim Crow statutes and by the 1964 Civil Rights Statute.

This was pointed out by Senator Barry Goldwater at the time - only for him to be totally misunderstood.

People who think that Barry Goldwater was a "racist" are as moronically ignorant as people who think that Israel is a "Jim Crow country" or an "apartheid country".
