“What the owner cannot do is throw OJ out BECAUSE he is black (sort of). What the owner can do is refuse to serve a man whom he believes would cause a disruption or discomfort to his clientele.”
While it probably won’t happen, I believe that if OJ were to sue, he would prevail since he was apparently not causing any disruption (sitting in the back of the bus) and not causing any discomfort. Other patrons may have FELT discomfort but when I’m out and about, there are certainly people who I FEEL discomfort about when I’m seated near them.
Even OJ has rights in this nation, even if he is black.
Look pal, you are wearing thin, implying racism on my part, with that condescending implication.
I simply stated that OJ was thrown out on the basis of good taste and not race.
OJ, never embraced his ethnicity, until he was in trouble. He lived his whole life invirtual denial of his ethnicity. Many blacks would have viewed him as a 'Tom', hence my comment 'sort of'
Nobody in this nation has a *right* to eat in someone else's privately owned business. Your legal interpretation of this event is ludicrous.
