Agreed.

What about the rights of the business owner? He has the right to determine for himself who he wants to to do business with. If a black businessman wanted to exclude whites he should have that right as well. The consumer's rights have also been violated since they do not have a choice to go to an all whites/blacks business or an integrated business. The government does not have(or at least shouldn't have) the constitutional authority to interfere.

Blacks organizations and institutions exclude whites all the time and no one seems to make a fuss over that. Lets name a few: black businessman's associations, college fraternities, political organizations, black MBA Association, black pages (like the yellow pages but only black owned business are included),

To me this is not a black or white issue.

I have no problem with the black this or black that organization.

I believe in the freedom of association, and if X number of black ____ want to organize, god speed.
