[ Thing is, I think businesses should have the right to say who they do business with. Yep, that even means the old “coloreds only” stuff in the old south. It was dying without government intervention anyway. Can you imagine a business today announcing that they refuse to do business with blacks, or shuffle them into a “separate but equal” space? It didn’t fly in most of the US and it was being vanquished in the deep south as well in the 50’s and 60’s. ]

In the south a lot of discrimination was STATE MANDATED, now they want the the STATE to MANDATE the OTHER WAY AROUND this TIME.

Using STATE POWER to COERCE BEHAVIOR is WRONG even if it is for GOOD INTENTIONS, because the road to HELL is paved with them.
