Are you denying that the CRA and the VRA restored many rights that had been denied during the Jim Crow era?

i'll defend the VRA's intent and most of its execution (i think it should have been scrapped 20 years ago, though)

something had to be done

but again, i'm not an anarchist

i think the CRA was proper with respect to public bodies. public bodies should not discriminate, and Jim Crow = state action

i can support the intent of the CRA with respect to private parties, but i don't support the implementation. i don't think that is a problem that can be solved by law and/or the effects of the law are just as discriminatory and liberty-reducing
