I know I know. Republicans/conservatives good, Democrats/liberals bad. You have been spewing the same horse crap for a while and it really gets old. As if there were no republicans in any position of over sight for anything that has gone wrong in this country. Let me know when you have an independent thought.
I have them all the time and that's what frightens the established parties is that the number of free thinkers is growing despite attempts to enslave the population with Government handouts.
As for the AA issue. Perhaps I am being to coy about the issue. So lets spell it out. How does one go about changing institutional and social racism that existed for centuries?
Clearly you haven't read the words of Malcolm X! His well known quote "By any means necessary" refers not to armed insurrection but to building economic clout. He wanted more guys like the guy running BET, Bob Johnson as the way to break down the barriers of racism. His point of view has been proven to be correct. The head of BET may indeed be black but he's a rich black guy now and when he talks people listen. Do you really think Trump or Perot would had a minute of free TV time if they weren't worth billions?
Dell has said that he believes the CR act of 1964 is not constitutional.
I'm not sure why it wouldn't be Constitutional? Many and I count myself among them feel that the use of Executive orders is unconstitutional and that any President going forward should issue only one more Executive Order repealing all prior executive orders.
Sparrow has said that AA is a bad idea and I assume a act that never should have happened although I have not seem him write it.
Never said it was a bad idea I said it was racist! When you implement something like AA you are say to the group that benefits from it "You dumb N-word you'll NEVER be a success because you're just another stupid nappy headed knuckle dragger, so since we are all nice rich white people we'll help you out." IMO anyone who is white and thinks AA is a good idea had best go put on the Klan robes and fess up that you think blacks are inferior. Logic would dictate that if you feel you have to attempt to legislate equality than you must think that the group in question is inferior to you and that is what Affirmative Action is. The white majority, when it created Affirmative Action codified their belief that the black man cannot succeed on his own, requires help and it doesn't get anymore racist then that.
So what is your solution for what happened after the CR act or in place of it? I assume since you dislike it so much you would have given this considerable thought. SO lets have it or as Sparrow so eloquently put it else where, STFU.
If I were President in the early 1960's I would have lobbied very strongly for the Civil Rights act but would but not issued the Executive Orders that led to Affirmative Action. Neither would I have remained silent. I would have been on the road using the worlds biggest bully pulpit to promote equality and racial tolerance. My "hammer" would be basically "If you don't want the Federal Government crawling up your ass you as Governors, Legislators, Senator, Council People had best get with the program or you'll be filling potholes and building schools with your own money." I have long held the belief that the threat of government intervention is usually far worse in peoples minds then the actuality of it ever will be. ObamaCare is a classic example. Once implemented, the result will likely not be nearly as bad as people think. However it won't solve much either.
Legislating, or attempting to legislate morality has been shown to be a failure with Prohibition, Prostitution and the current insane war on drugs along with Affirmative Action stand as stark reminders of this fact. AA does nothing IMO to decrease the amount of institutionalized racism as in fact it perpetuates the very thing it seeks to eliminate.
