Double-check the law on that, but if my memory is correct: no, you don't. Business owners are entitled to refuse service to a would-be client.

They can't refuse service based upon who that person is, like race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

There are 2 Supreme Court cases that affirm that.

There is some truth to that. But, to be fair, this is only possible because of the white liberal "elite" and white liberals in general. These people have a vested interest in keeping the minorities poor and dependent on government handouts.

On the other hand, Republicans have a vested interest in seeing the minorities succeed and enjoy American prosperity to its full extent.

Yes. So, basically no one is "entitled to be served like everyone else", since business owners can refuse service for a wide array of reasons.

gravitate to Biden? lmao he put hundreds of thousands of black people in jail. Remember three strikes you're out? Sentences for life in prison for marijuana. Sure they'll flock to him. Old white guy, privileged member of the Senate since he was 30. They have a lot in common.

Well, if the store doesn't have what I want, they don't have to sell it to me. Or if I'm causing a disturbance or threatening other customers or staff members, they can tell me to get lost.

Now if they don't want to sell it to me because of my race, and they'll sell that to someone else who is of a different ethnic background, that's a no-no.

Example: A kosher deli won't sell a smoked ham. But they'll sell anything they offer to people of any background, and gladly will.

Of course, because they want the money. But should they refuse to sell something, I believe they would have the legal right to do so. (not saying this is a good thing or bad one here, just stating the fact).

Not attributable to any policy of Trump. Accountable. Unreal.

Well, if you refuse to sell something, it has to be on a nondiscriminatory basis and not violate the Civil Rights Act.

Heart of Atlanta Motel vs. United States, and Katzenbach vs. McClung are the US Supreme Court cases that affirm this - no discrimination in public accommodations.
