It’s a private business! Government has no business telling a private business what they can or can’t do! It’s not a theocracy because the government isn’t adopting one religion or another.

“ Should a White owned restaurant be able to refuse to serve Blacks? No.”

If it’s a privately owned business that accepts no government money then yes! So you’ll have racist assholes that own businesses. That’s the price you pay for Liberty!

“ If you want to discriminate against anyone for any reason, then close the BUSINESS and do your business as a PERSON.”

Most privately owned businesses are owned by a PERSON/sole proprietorship and are not corporations.

“ As a CUSTOMER we DO have the right to NOT BUY from any particular BUSINESS for any reason we choose.”

And as a private business that receives no government assistance, that business has the RIGHT to do business with whomever they want without the government telling them what to do.

If you ever saw the movie 42 about Jackie Robinson, there’s a scene where a bus carrying black baseball players stops by a gas station. The white operator of the gas station was going to sell them the gas but when Jackie Robinson asked to use the bathroom, the white business operator refused and told them they could go around to the back. Robinson told him they were no going to fill up at that station and the white business operator capitulated and allowed them to use the bathroom.

That’s how you change attitudes. Not by having the government force requirements on privately owned businesses.
