re: 'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]
One can argue that they were, since the 14th Amendment had been ratified in 1868 allowing for equal protection under law. But that's an entirely different ball of wax, since segregation and "separate but equal" were obviously discriminatory policies and the Duckman not being able to say whatever he wants without repercussions from a private employer is not.
Not at the time, they weren't.
