So? IMO, discrimination should be legal so long as it's not the government doing it. Government dollars come from the public in general, so it wouldn't be fair to favor one segment over another.

But in the case at hand, it's none of anyone's business where people who value the opinion of the NAACP shop with their own dollars. If they want to shop only at black merchants, that's up to them.

We have been told forever it seems how the black people are not able to make money, and they are all poor and oppressed, so what good would a boycot do if they had no money to spend any way.....

"IMO, discrimination should be legal so long as it's not the government doing it."

Unfortunately, the Civil Rights Act of 1964--and never was a law more misappellated--puts the lie to that statement. If I want to ban Whitey, or White Boy, or WASPs, from my place of business, I can be put out of business on the grounds that it is a 'public accommodation.'

Let me know when you see the law enforced in that fashion, however, because according to the left, only white folks can discriminate illegally (since only those with power can be racist, donchaknow, it's in the definition somewhere), and white males seem to be the most likely to do so.
