I'm not aware of anything in the constitution that bans citizens from being unjust and unfair. Certainly in the eyes of the law we are to be held equal (and we don't always get that one right either) but I don't know of anything that says that on a one on one basis we have to be "fair". (Gads, I'm sick of that commie agenda crap word).

I'm not defending the conditions, I'm simply asking what provision allows sit-ins in a private business? What you think is unjust and unfair? What I think is unjust and unfair? Heck, I have a list of stuff I think is "unfair" a mile long. Let's do it! Fortunately I understood long ago that life isn't "fair". Just ask the poor citizens of Cuba.

Parenthetically I suspect we all have a group that we treat as second class citizens be it due to baldness, age, weight, looks and so on. We may not even know we do it, but after many decades of watching human nature the founding fathers had it right as usual; you can be equal under the law but flawed humans have to be allowed to be asses; no way to law your way out of that one.
