Do you believe a business should be able to refuse to serve someone because of what race or ethnicity that person is?
that is what i am saying.but you have no problem if person who is being rejected is white right.because this law is disaignd to discriminate against white people

Perhaps you didn't know,but segregation was the GOVERNMENT.

What Personal attack? where did I attack you? I asked for clarification on your post.

First you say the there is no need for the law. Then you state a owner should deny service to anyone, i'm assuming based on race since that is what this thread is about. Well the only era that has occured was pre-civil rights. So how is this an attack, when its your views?

And I think when you get to the solutions like that, the more local the better, and the more common sense the decisions are, rather than having a federal government make those decisions."
Uh-huh... and what if you don't have such a tidy and obvious solution possible, Rand?
And what if the building owner cannot afford an elevator?
Also where do you draw the line as far as accommodating people?

Please expand upon this if you can.

The leftist handbook that trots out accusations of racism or wanting segregation if someone dares to not fall lack step into your way of thinking.

Of course a private business owner should be able to do what he pleases in a free society...what some want is to force people to act the way THEY want.

Even if your position is 'correct' or 'moral' it matters little if you force others to accept it.
Hard to swallow but otherwise you enjoy dictating your beliefs to others.

Is that your position?
To force what you want on others because what you think it right?

If Human decency is something that has to be forced on someone, then that person is too pathetic to be considered moral.

The law is not designed to discriminate against white people ( I am white btw). Business's are not allowed to refuse service to someone because they are white, black, etc. Paul wants it to be legal for business's to refuse to serve someone because of what race they are.

You are most likely right...but isn't forcing them to bow to your way of thinking wrong too?

I would not frequent a place that barred people because of color or race or the like,but I do not think it right to force my beliefs on others...
