If there was no CRA and private businesses were free to do whatever they wanted,who here would frequent such a business if it was openly discriminating?
Just cut and paste the question and your reply.
Lots of people would. Just look at the support institutions that can legally discriminate receive. Case in point: Dallas Country Club.
There are others. I don't have the name of the club, but the guy from SC who ran for Republican Chair against Steele belonged to another.

Exactly, I said earlier that it probably wouldn't happen around here, but not too long ago a country club about 10 miles or so from me in Garden City use to not allow blacks or Jews.
Why would I want to??Perhaps you might but I have morals.
To be honest,around here the only places that discriminate that I know of are black places...had co-workers tell me I would not be welcome at a club because of the color of my skin.
Ahh...I see. Maybe the club's patrons might not make you feel welcomed (as in "come have a seat at my table, let me buy you a drink), but the club owner cannot legally deny you access to the club.
I step into business establishments that are either owned or managed by people from different races/ethnicities all the time. Yes, some of the patrons have looked at me like I'm out of place. I don't care.
I recently had tire trouble and I went into a tire shop that had nothing but black folks in it. Some folks looked at me like "what on earth are you doing here?" Well, I needed a new tire and it was the closest shop. They sold and installed a new tire. I paid for it, and went on my way. No biggie.
...just as long as you ignore all the other ugliness within the democratic party, then your purified version of it can exist in your own mind.
I don't ignore it, many of the Southern Democrats were racist though and through. That was then. When LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 he said "We [the Democrats] have lost the south for a generation."

You do realize that if not for REPUBLICANS the CRA would have been defeated?

The vast majority of Democrats voted for the 1964 civil rights act.
Ron Paul advocates allowing businesses to enact Jim Crow and people are actually trying to defend it..Amazing. Does Paul and the Tea Party realize this issue was settled 50 years ago? What a bonehead move
