      My answer:

      Major features of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
      (The full text of the Act is available online.)

      [edit] Title I

      Barred unequal application of voter registration requirements, but did not abolish literacy tests sometimes used to disqualify African Americans and poor white voters.
      "It shall be the duty of the judge designated pursuant to this section to assign the case for hearing at the earliest practicable date and to cause the case to be in every way expedited."'

      [edit] Title II

      Outlawed discrimination in hotels, motels, restaurants, theaters, and all other public accommodations engaged in interstate commerce; exempted private clubs without defining the term "private."

      [edit] Title III

      Prohibited state and municipal governments from denying access to public facilities on grounds of race, religion, or ethnicity.

      [edit] Title IV

      Encouraged the desegregation of public schools and authorized the U.S. Attorney General to file suits to enforce said act.

      [edit] Title VI

      Prevented discrimination by government agencies that receive federal funding. If an agency is found in violation of Title VI, that agency can lose its federal funding.

      [edit] Title VII

      Title VII of the Act, codified as Subchapter VI of Chapter 21 of 42 U.S.C. § 2000e [2] et seq., prohibits discrimination by covered employers on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin (see 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2[10]). Same sex harassment is prohibited by Title VII (Oncale v. Sundowner Offshore Services, Inc., 523 U.S. 75 (1998), 118 S.Ct. 998).
      Title VII also prohibits discrimination against an individual because of his or her association with another individual of a particular race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. An employer cannot discriminate against a person because of his interracial association with another, such as by an interracial marriage (Parr v. Woodmen of the World Life Insurance Company, 791 F.2d 888 (11th Cir. 1986)).
      Notwithstanding the general prohibition of employment discrimination, covered employers are allowed to discriminate on the basis of religion, sex or national origin (but not based on color or race) where religion, sex, or national origin is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise. In order to prove the Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications defense, an employer must prove three elements: a direct relationship between sex and the ability to perform the duties of the job, the BFOQ relates to the "essence" or "central mission of the employer's business," and there is no less-restrictive or reasonable alternative (Automobile Workers v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 499 U.S. 187 (1991) 111 S.Ct. 1196). The Bona Fide Occupational Qualification exception is an extremely narrow exception to the general prohibition of discrimination based on sex (Dothard v. Rawlinson, 433 U.S. 321 (1977) 97 S.Ct. 2720). An employer or customer's preference for an individual of a particular religion is not sufficient to establish a Bona Fide Occupational Qualification (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Kamehameha School - Bishop Estate, 990 F.2d 458 (9th Cir. 1993)).
      Title VII allows for any employer, labor organization, joint labor-management committee, or employment agency to bypass the "unlawful employment practice" for any person involved with the Communist Party of the United States or of any other organization required to register as a Communist-action or Communist-front organization by final order of the Subversive Activities Control Board pursuant to the Subversive Activities Control Act of 1950.
      There are partial and whole exceptions to Title VII for four types of employers:
      • Federal government; (Comment: The proscriptions against employment discrimination under Title VII are now applicable to the federal government under 42 U.S.C. Section 2000e-16)
      • Indian Tribes
      • Religious groups performing work connected to the group's activities, including associated education institutions;
      • Bona fide nonprofit private membership organizations.
      The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as well as certain state fair employment practices agencies (FEPAs) enforce Title VII (see 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-4[10]). The EEOC and state FEPAs investigate, mediate, and may file lawsuits on behalf of employees. Every state, except Arkansas and Alabama maintains a state FEPA (see EEOC and state FEPA directory ). Title VII also provides that an individual can bring a private lawsuit. An individual must file a complaint of discrimination with the EEOC within 180 days of learning of the discrimination or the individual may lose the right to file a lawsuit. Title VII only applies to employers who employ 15 or more employees for more than 19 weeks in the current or preceding calendar year.
      In the late 1970s courts began holding that sexual harassment is also prohibited under the Act. Chrapliwy v. Uniroyal is a notable Title VII case relating to sexual harassment that was decided in favor of the plaintiffs. In 1986 the Supreme Court held in Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57 (1986), that sexual harassment is sex discrimination and is prohibited by Title VII. Title VII has been supplemented with legislation prohibiting pregnancy, age, and disability discrimination (See Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990).

      This is why you as an immigrant can hold an office job in the US. Manny marched for days; being bitten by dogs, beaten to the skull with batons, hosed with power water and other atrocities. Do not take the above lightly.

      Ja needs a similar bill. Look and see if there is any talk of ambudsman yada yada. The above bill was crafted with national security and interest. No joke ting, these guiys meant business. They said enough; the slavery thing cannot help in these times.

        again Jawge what is the "Charter of rights bill"?
        not the Civil rights bill.

          have you ever read the jamaican constitution?

          Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe. Thomas Paine

            See this is the kind of foolishness I'm talking
            about. The educated Jakans are duped into thinking they have everything even better than the states. At the same time blacks cannot make up Ja's middle classs, blacks do not enjoy wealth in key industries.

            Ja is run based on the slavery laws. How? read Ja's history read about the mona, Papine and Hope Estates; here you will see land passing by marriage between the planter's class. Whenever someone forms a group it's with an agenda. Ja's two parties were formed by two cousins; they could not help but think they should lead the illiterae blacks to independence and civilization. Look at both parties and see the intermarriage to hold power as in 300 years ago.

            Joshua took the courage to break stride and almost died for it.

            Ja's history will show that after hard times with sugar in the 1850s the plantation masters turned to banana, lime and other crops. To this day we have the same thing going on. How many blacks after emancipation owned a sugar estate? How manyt after independence? Now how many blacks are privileged in Ja's key industries today?

            The young has to rise and say enough or we will be manipulated and owned by other sovereigns who has studied our history, civics, sociology and culture. Ja cannot move beyond third world with the present laws and existing conditions. Ja needs its middle class in order to survive the info age. The middle class will give leadership, brain power to fuel the economy. At present; we still have the planter class ruling under the guise of democracy. Time is not on Ja's side.

            To prove my point; why are these same oppressed blacks able to move to the states and join the middle class hence making useful contribution to the US economy? Take away the civil rights bill and see what would happen to the blacks in the states. Now go back to Ja and look at the condition of blacks (I'm talking the majority, not some overeducated eltist )

            If Ja's constitution was adequate, why the charter for human rights?
