Too late. Once this country accepted the civil rights laws that banned discrimination by private entities, the game was over. If you tried to defend freedom of association now, the leftists would scream that blacks would be turned away from restaurants, etc., which is nonsense.

The problem is that nobody trusts the free market. When a business turns customers away, for whatever reason, it loses out to some other business that doesn’t. It all works itself out beautifully when government doesn’t intervene. Government is the only entity that cannot be allowed to discriminate. The Jim Crow laws were put in place by politicians, not business people.

If we don’t have the freedom to discriminate, then we are not free.

“If we don’t have the freedom to discriminate, then we are not free.”

The govt-media complex wants everyone to be indiscriminate and undiscerning. That way, the citizenry is easier for them to control.
