I grapple with it Pie. I absolutely detest racism and would love to see it stomped out. However, I feel to stay consistent with my individual liberty, small federal government platform, I have to allow individuals liberties I don't agree with if I expect the same consideration.
Chick-fil-a never discriminated, not in hiring, nor in service. Buck thinks without title II they would, I disagree.
I also believe society determines these rights and wrongs and it takes decades for the government to catch up. Look at gay marriage now, left up to the citizens, it would have been allowed decades ago. Pot? same thing. I believe Jackie Robinson and Branch Rickey did more to advance civil rights than LBJ who actually passed the bill. I believe MLK did more for the movement than any government, in fact government impeded the progress, just as they are doing now with gay marriage, pot and my precious online poker that I miss so much.
So please don't be like AC and assume that since I feel title II is unneeded, this means I am fighting for my own right to discriminate. I try to treat a man based on his character, not his color. That's why AC is presently getting the chickenshit treatment. I provided therapy in poor areas of the south for years and not one of my patients would consider me racist, of this I'm confident.
