Do you hold the decision as to who rides in your car or do I hold that decision to be made for you? It is your car right? It is their airplane just as it is your car. When you are prepared to give up the right to make your own decisions concerning your own property, you let me know ok?

While I certainly agree with you concerning private property, you are probably well aware that you as a business owner can not deny someone service because of their race. An airline can not deny service because of people's race. This guy was detained simply because of his race(and because he looked like the Israelis acting suspicious). The cops that interviewed him agreed there.

Say you own a store and accuse someone of shoplifting. You call the cops and they determine it was a misunderstanding and the person did not shoplift. You as the owner can not go ahead and have the cops issue a tresspass warrant against the person because you still "disagree". I don't really see any difference here with this passenger(although I agree $400K is excessive, and I think the jury did it to send a point).

Also, the entire argument is really moot due to the fact that airlines simply can not be considered private property due to Federal control.

Paying the race card huh? Not surprising, it happens often. It is my position that if a black man doesn't want to do business with a white man he should have that choice, and all the responsibility that comes along with that action.

Rather than laws mandating such things, allow that personal responsibility to handle it. When a business gets a reputation for being racist in nature, how long is it going to last in today's world? Let the free market work, it does work when it is allowed to do so.

I don't care what reason a business ownr has, it is his choice, not mine.

Cannot be considered private property huh? Imagine that. Stalin would be proud to the point of tears. Tell me then, with all the regulation in all business, just take the card you played to start this post, NO BUSINESS can be 'considered' pivate then huh?
