Government is bound to “Title VVI of the Civil Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.” Libertarians believe that private people shouldn’t be bound to these since they must pay the penalty for whomever they hire. If I choose to not serve women in my restaurant, I’ll lose business and suffer economic consequences for that decision. If I choose to not hire any black people on my basketball team, generally the team I make would most likely suffer in terms of winning due to that decision. Governments typically don’t face the same market forces; they can discriminate as they please unless bound by law.

I see. The Libertarian party supports the Civil Rights Act.

So how about those parts of it that limit individual rights to discriminate?
