Quote:You're living in a bubble. The owner of a local restaurant told two different African-American children to leave her restaurant on two different occasions because "we don't serve [BAD WORD REMOVED] in here", her exact words. These incidents are common knowledge, yet her business thrives. I would not be surprised if she gained customers.

 

I'm not denying that in some areas racism is still alive an well, so that begs the question what purpose does the heavy regulation serve if it didn't eliminate the problem?

 

In a deregulated society you'd still have those same people acting as horribly as they do now, heck a few might join them. But the majority would support business that was in line with modern viewpoint, inclusive establishments. You can't legislate or regulate away prejudices, so why set a standard that allows a federal politician to decide how you'll run your business? 

 

Also keep in mind I only oppose discrimination laws at the FEDERAL level, if individual States or Communities want to say to be on our town, our state, our county you have to abide by these rules than so be it. 

 

Again I'll point out you turn to the very establishment for protection from racism that in itself is the biggest offender of racism, government.
