MATT BRUENIG: Glaring limits of the Civil Rights Act: We need to redistribute wealth (Of course the same 'logic' would justify the outright removal of Whites from schools, jobs and homes, and ending their lives--because isn't that just cutting to the chase?)

Glaring limits of the Civil Rights Act: We need to redistribute wealth

Although the Civil Rights Act, the landmark legislation which just reached its 50th anniversary, made great strides in desegregating the economy, economic discrimination is still widespread, and anti-discrimination legislation alone can never rectify the economic damage inflicted upon blacks by slavery and our Jim Crow apartheid regime. The Civil Rights Act was a mild reform, all things considered, but one conservatives fought with vigor and one many conservatives are still bitter about to this day. . . .

Thus, those actually serious about righting the wrongs of enslavement and Jim Crow apartheid must support more drastic leveling efforts. . . .
