Well, yes. In the mid 20th Century, Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP systematically went after the Jim Crow interpretation of the Constitution. If libertarians are yearning for the good old days, I'll dissent.
Jim Crow was a set of laws passed by the southern states which mandated discrimination. In short they were specific acts of the government to force businesses to discriminate. You are now reaching Eric the Obtuse levels of ignorance.
