Yes, he wants whites-only lunch counters to be legal again.
Right?
Wrong, but if you own a business, you should be able to serve who you like. As it stands now, I could get in trouble for not serving black person even if he/she is causing trouble. The law makes it difficult to refuse service even for legit reasons.
If you don't agree with all of it, you may as well wear devil's horns as far as I'm concerned.
That's just how it is. I won't lie to you about it.
Well, that's your opinion, but the property right section includes you also and I don't feel anyone has the right to tell me what to do on my property, unless I am breaking the law.

The parts of the Civil Rights Act that Rand objects to are precisely the parts that outlawed 'whites only' lunch counters. That's WHY his views are so popular among white Southerners.
Rand seems to share the view of lots of libertarians- claiming that the Holy Free Market would have magically ended such discrimination. To my twisted little mind, it's appropriate to ask: well... why DIDN'T such discrimination (visibly) end until the Feds stepped in? Could this be one of many problems that the Holy Free Market doesn't magically solve??

If your commercial enterprise is discriminating based on race, YOU are breaking the law.
So sorry the mean ol Big Gubermunt won't let you set up a whites-only lunch counter. Such an injustice!

And if the laws says you can discriminate against others as a business?
Could you please spell out PRECISELY what actions you would like to take- but are currently prohibited by the Civil Rights Act?
Thanks.
They will never answer that honestly, and we all know why.
