[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think businesses should be allowed to run their business as they see fit.

I think public opinion will then decide if they want to spend their money on said business or not.

Pretty simple.[/quote]

OP here again. So, say there's a business that refuses to do business with people of a different race. Say I'm the same race as the business owners so I have no idea about this, though I'd boycott if I did. [b]Is it the responsibility of the people who get discriminated against to make a public stink so that everyone knows and can make an informed decision?[/b] How do you even go about making such a stink? You can't put a sign on the door: "this place doesn't serve ____ race." I like your point in theory but how does it work in practice?[/quote]

Yes. You alert the media, the BBB and your local chamber of commerce.[/quote]Yes, because that worked so well in 1955.[/quote]

It is 2015[/quote] Right, and in 2015 bakers are not allowed to discriminate against people based on race.  In 1955, they could serve whomever they damned pleased.  I don't want to live in a world where bakers can refuse to bake cakes for people based on religion, race, sexual orientation, or national origin just because they want to run their business "as they see fit."  That's called discrimination. [/quote]
