Rights of employers and landlords were taken, employer requirements for minorities, women's rights, children rights and animal rights gay rights etc. All of these so called rights for designated classes infringed on the rights of others and increased government and bureacracy.
To the exact contrary. Employers and businesses are suffered to exist at the pleasure of the public, and the public determined via the courts and via the Civil Rights Act that if businesses wished to remain open, they would have to desist racist discrimination.
The Constitution offers no right to be a racist, nor to engage in discrimination. The freedom to infringe on the freedom of others to move freely, engage in business, and work for a living is not a freedom guaranteed by the Constitution, regardless of your racist desires. The Civil Rights Act expanded freedom - it did not contract it. There's no such freedom as "the right to discriminate."
Only someone possessed of a deep and abiding animus against those of another race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation construes it as you do, Buz. Take a long look in the mirror.
