and i've gotta support cHex, i completely stand behind freedom of association.
in todays uber sensitive climate of political correctness what business or private establishment would honestly be willing to take the PR and revenue hit by openly discriminating against a group of people anyway? not very many. but it should be perfectly legal for those who wish to.

It's certainly brave of you to stand up for the right of restaurants to exclude blacks. And it's certainly naive of you to think that some restaurants wouldn't.
But if you believe that antidiscrimination laws are unconstitutional, what constitutional provision do you think they violate?
