That makes so much sense! Then businesses open to the general public can ban black citizens from their premises. ( /sarc )
Laws forcing private businesses to serve blacks set a precedent that currently has Christian bakers and photographers being forced to participate in homosexual weddings. Where that slippery slope ends I don't know. If you blieve in property rights, you believe in them even when property owners are foolish, bigoted, or otherwise unpopular. If not, then you believe property owners are simply slaves to serve the popular whims of society.

As far as I'm concerned you can take off the sarcasm tag.
I do believe that it is reprehensible to deny service to someone of a different race or religion but don't understand why it is the business of government to get involved.
I truly believe that a business should have the right to serve or not serve whomever they want. If I don't believe in what they do then I have the right to not patronize the business.
If a business has a sign posted that they do not allow weapons, then I don't patronize that business. I don't see why a business has the right to deny me service but they can't deny people they know to be queer service. I don't know why a business who knows that a person is an extremist Islamic Jihadist has to give him service.
I still don't understand why the government got involved in smoking. I don't but if I don't want to sit in an establishment where smoking is happening then I don't have to, I can stay home if I want to.
Our government is into our lives in a way that was never intended. The government needs to leave us alone and stop redistributing our money to others they deem to need it more than me.
