Are you so naive that you think the only reason businesses segregated was due to the law, and only businesses operating under segregation laws did so?Maybe it is not high enough
That confirms you are a jerk.
Realist
If you own a business and are informed that blatant discrimination bears a $150k fine and you think your personal hatreds are more important....then you made a choice to pay the fine
In this situation you shouldn't have to make the choice to begin with.
A choice of "We don't serve n*ggers here"?
I thought we settled that 50 years ago
And if we would allow it today, we would all be a lot more honest with each other. Back then the force of government was firmly on the side of the segregationists, without that government force, they couldn't really survive unless they were some small niche business, or in a town entirely full of hard on racists.
