Re: John Stossel called for repeal of public accommodations section of Civil Rights A
I think it would be more than a few. In fact, I believe it would lead to the creation of stores that are popular for the very reason that they disciminate. Racial issues is one of those things I think should die a quiet death, and slowly, as older generations die off, I believe that is happening, but its not far gone enough.
Also quite frankly, I think the pursuit of removing racism is more important than freedom of association in this case.
Well it's a right of association thing. Store owners can throw out people for all kinds of stupid things without legal recourse.
Maybe it was necessary in the 1960s, but today I can't imagine a more than a few openly discriminating stores staying in business for long or being forced to recant due to public outrage.
