How the Civil Right act of 1964 is being violated in 2013!
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was put into place by President Lyndon Johnson on July 2, 1964, the purpose of this act was to prohibit discrimination in public places, provided for the integration of schools and other public facilities, and made employment discrimination illegal. The act allowed the Justice Department to prosecute individuals who violated people’s civil rights and outlawed discrimination in employment on account of race, color, sex, or national origin. Now is this really being put into practice now in day?
Are people really being treated equally, regardless of sex, color, race or national origin?
Today, like in the 1960's, people are pointed at because of their color, sex or national origin. This has become a great conflict in our nation, the minority that is pointed at and mistreated today is not the African American it is our Hispanic society. On April of 2010, the state of Arizona caused great debate with the SB 1070 (immigration law). This law was created to "protect" Arizona citizens from illegal immigrants, granting the police officers the right to stop people who appear or sound illegal (Latin).In fact the Civil Rights of 1964 states that “...Discrimination or segregation by an establishment is supported by State action within the meaning of this title if such discrimination or segregation is carried on under color of any custom or usage required or enforced by officials of the State or political subdivision.." Under the provisions of the newly approved portion of SB 1070, police officers are obligated to make a reasonable effort to confirm the immigration status of people they stop, detain or arrest if they suspect a person is here unlawfully.This law is in clear violation of the Civil Right Act because it is pointed directly to a minority the Hispanics. The question is How does an "illegal" person look or sound?
