Now I understand that there are people who are so unconscious, they actually entertain ideas such as these. It's shocking, really.

No Blacks
No Whites
No Mexicans
etc.

The business owner should have the same right of association as anyone else, and the right to refuse service to anyone he chooses. Just as I would have the same right to avoid doing business with him if he chooses to ban someone because of their race.

If I am no forced to do utilize a particular business, why should they be forced to accept me as a customer?

I think with me it is more of a property rights issue.

No one will tell me who I have to let come on my land.

Actually, it's clear from many of the posts here that there are a great many who will.

Where did you hear you can choose to lose your status as a public establishment just because your business is privately owned (which you can't logically do if you intend to make a profit).

Which businesses are those? Name 'em. Cuz for the life of me, i've NEVER seen a black man turn down a dollar....and i'm black as they come.

Why black customers? You could've said any other race.

Agreed.

If anything, I have a hard time finding any white people that want to patronize black-owned businesses.

To sailordave, what black-owned business doyou patronize on a regular basis, since you seem to know so much about them?
