Private/public companies feed the government. Where do you think politicians come from? They can work for private companies before taking office. If you allow companies to discriminate, you are basically affecting the government.
Your theory of how it would work in now way reflects the reality of how it would pan out.
No, a racist politician that owns a racist grocery store can be as racist as he wants but once he's an elected official the government as a whole is prevented from doing those things. Just because he runs his business a certain way does not mean he has the leeway to run his political office that way. Once again, government has legal boundries it cannot cross. Private business should not have many of those same boundries.
Why should said business owner have to accept people he doesn't want in his store when he doesn't have to accept them into his home?
So what is with the coyness, just come out and say what you are.
Guessing you are a 1/4 black.
not even close but it is amusing how people like to assume that because you hold a certain point of view you must fit into a particular stereotype. just like everyone that wants to end the war on drugs is a pothead, everyone that supports gay marriage is a fruit and everyone that despises abortion is a bible thumper
He was unable to further his argument and instead popped out with a baseless and incorrect assumption.
Okay, so you were for it, before you were against it? What.
Without the civil rights movement and subsequent laws, minorities are likely to not have the slightest foothold in this country. From what you said previously, you agree with that, but still think the laws shouldn't exist? What am I missing?
Your first question is too confusing to figure out.
You're missing what I've clearly pointed out. When the Civil Rights Act was written the culture was different, the attitude of the society was different. I despise the concept of legislating morality when those laws do nothing more than create victimless crimes but it was unfortunately a very necessary evil
at the time.
Today, however, those laws are not necessary in the private sector. There are enough black, hispanic, asian, female, jewish, <insert minority here> business owners and citizens of wealth that there would be no shortage of jobs for them even if all the racist and bigoted white male business owners decided to fire their minority employees and ban non-whites and females from patronizing their businesses that everyone else would still have PLENTY of choice in employment and places to shop, eat and watch movies.
even those here who know me would be very surprised to find out what I am 
did I say those things should not have happened in the first place? read what I'm actually putting down, not what you want to see.
