"What is unbelievable is that someone thinks that the states have the right to enact laws designed to force Americans to fight or leave, and that it's ok with them."

Nobody said that. Repressive laws (like Jim Crow) are wrong whether it's Federal or State. Nobody I read so far disagrees with that or thinks Jim Crow was "OK with them." What I said was that if it's the State doing it, someone does have the (admittedly difficult) option of leaving as a last resort. Many African Americans did just that during Jim Crow. If its the Fed being totally repressive, there isn't even that option.
