Think about that one.

I'm tired of this. Black people we need to get out of the way of the right wings push for this kind of stuff.....before anyone goes crazy this is why,they are doing much more damage hiding and conducting gorilla warfare. We need to show our pants on the ground youth like stupid tooth lil wayne the true face of the American right. They need to wake up and get a dose of reality. Then they will no longer be able to run around like fools. Just like hitler's stupid race war helped push the civil rights era of the 60's this will allow the right to mistakenly push a new generation into stronger more reliable men. Let them have their soooo sought after right to call you a N&*^% and tell you to leave their store. We actually need this.

Hence political philosophies and trying to implement them in the real world with people.

I sure hope I don't have to serve Lutherans when they come to my place of business.

That would make me their slave.

Was there a law that said it was legal? Or was it just an accepted practice for which there was no law making it illegal?

I just ask, because are legal system traditionally doesn't allow things to be legal, rather, everything is legal, except for that which is made illegal.

If we are talking about human rights, I couldn't agree with you more, but there are slew of rights which do not derive from any "natural laws". Those are granted by society. I say this because I think that in these discussions all rights are considered equal, they are not. Some rights are superior to others.

I would imagine that in most cases in 2011 if a store owner did as you said he wouldn't be in business very long! I certainly wouldn't patronize his location! If he's stupid enough to be a bigot, let him suffer the fall out!

Consensual slavery has always been a right protected by the Constitution.

To work for most Corporations, you must agree to assign any patentable innovation that may come out of your brain to the Corporation.

You agree, your hired.

See? It is all voluntary.

No force required here.
