Oh boy. Well I for one am glad that your opinion in no way influences laws in this country, or reality.

A. There already are laws regarding whom you must allow into your home. For instance husband(or wife) can not bar each other from the home. The police can enter your home with a search warrant. They also can enter your home under certain circumstances without it. The fire department can bust your door down if the building is on fire(or there is some other emergency reason) and if some is injured and no one is able to open the door the paramedics can as well.

B. Business perform an service and can not discriminate. The reason for such laws is that it can be a real pain in the neck for the person who was discriminated against.

Wow, this is a crazy story!

Too bad something like that happened to this couple. I would seek legal counsel from the NAACP. They probably are already looking into this for them.

Mississippi RV park owner evicts interracial couple
Unless they have something else against the couple, that's a court case that the property owner will lose. Just bear in mind that this is only telling one side of the story. It's possible that they're being evicted because of completely different reasons and the couple is pulling the race card after the fact.

That's most likely the story

Did you happen to read this part of the article?

Quote:
More than a half-century after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 barred discrimination on the basis of race, Gene Baker acknowledged asking the interracial couple to leave his RV park near Tupelo.

Baker, who lives in Aberdeen, said he only did it because “the neighbors were giving me such a problem.

Lol...the owners said that "the members of his church wouldn't tolerate it!

Wake up 'Christian' black folks in the cradle of the Confederacy (and everywhere else).

I love it when the proof manifests itself without even needing to dig for it.

What is that expression, " I just thank my lucky stars" Retirement right around the corner, after the settlement.

Agreed. It sounds to me this couple are decent people, not trash.
