Walter E Williams - Discrimination and Liberty
Loading...
Uploaded by LibertyPen on May 30, 2010
When Rand Paul suggested the 1964 Civil Rights Act went too far, he was widely criticized by Democrats and Republicans alike. Here, Professor Williams explains why they are wrong and Rand is right, while making a far more important point about liberty itself. (from the Rush Limbaugh show 5/25/10) http://www.LibertyPen.com

This is brilliant.
If you think about it, its not about the whites, its not about the blacks, its not about the jews, its not about the italians, etc. Its about the government subsidizing these problems for their own benefit!

I remember being taught to hate discrimination in school and resisting it on liberal instinct even then. But I have always hated black people soooooo......

@AboveAllNations Property has no meaning unless it is owned by an individual. It is defined as that which a single person, bearing the faculty of happiness and reason, has a right to. It is meant to serve one man, and his desire for peace with other men.

"Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man." - Martin Luther King Jr.

@swu880 So lots of things there. 1) I feel the language of "rights" is too abstract to be of very much practical value. Plus they can be taken away. 2) Seriously, have YOU read Adam Smith? That guy furnishes some good arguments for things like taxes and anti-trust legislation. 3) I stick as much as possible to primary documents in my readings of history, along with classics. I try to understand people of opposing views as they understand themselves. Doesn't seem like you share that view.

How Much Can Discrimination Explain? | Walter Williamsby LibertyInOurTime8,461 views
"The true commitment, or the test of one's commitment to freedom of association, doesn't come when he allows people to be free to associate in the manner in which he deems ok. The true test of one's commitment to freedom of association is when you allow people to associate in ways you find offensive, that you find personally offensive."
