RE: Thing is, though I dont support jim crow, I believe it was constitutional, at least for private businesses.
BINGO. Now you’re being consistent.
ALLOWING a racist to NOT associate with blacks does not necessarily mean that one ENDORSES what he does.
LET HIM. The constitution gives him that Freedom.
If he wants to lose business because of his racism, that’s his foolish choice. I’m sure there are those who will pick up the slack.
Imagine Costco saying they no longer allow blacks into their buildings.
What if PRIVATE BUSINESSES in the south had been allowed to continue to discriminate. What would have happpened? In my opinion, they would have all gone under and natural integration would have ensued without any business being told by government how to do business. It would have been a great LEARNING experience in our nation rather than a fascist removal of individual freedoms.
