I acknowledge full well that it's unconstitutional to do that, but my argument is that it shouldn't be. Not for a private business, at least.
If a government receives public funding or is entirely taxpayer supported (schools, libraries, hospitals, etc..) that's an entirely different matter altogether.
I just don't see how the consumer getting protection and the business being forced can somehow equal liberty.
Educate that.
I am not confusing anything.
Why should businesses be allowed to do anything they want? Should I be allowed to sell fake medicine? Should I be allowed to make my employees work in dangerous conditions. Should I be allowed to lie to people to get them to give me their money? Should I be allowed to walk around in my place of business naked and masturbating? Should I be allowed to hire children and pay them a quarter an hour?
What exactly is it about owning a business that should allow a person to victimize people anyway he wants to?
And if you don't understand how forcing a business to serve minorities can equal liberty then please tell me how you think the Jim Crow South equaled "liberty".
