I've been posting and dealing with blue discrimination for years so please give me a straight answer. If you can't, I'm going to answer for you and you're not going to like what I'm going have to say about you and the blues in general. Hint. I don't view a group of blues who choose/prefer to hang out with other blues on a internet forum as being abnormal.  It's no more abnormal than a group of blacks who prefer to hang out and talk with blacks in school before classes start or a group of football players or athletes sitting together during lunch period or after school.

I do not provide goods or services to the public.  That being the case, I never ever deny goods or services to minorities.

You seem to be confusing the ability to chose one's friends with refusing to provide goods and services to minorities.  I've no problem with friendships being formed based on culture, gender, social class, religion, etc...  I have real problems when these are used as an excuse to deny goods and services.

You're home is private property. You have the right to decide who enters your home. The right to decide who you're willing to conduct business with in a private setting. The right to decide who you're willing to do work for in a private setting as well. BTW, you have the right to think/believe something is wrong as well.

Followers of many political systems declare assorted rights to exist.  Libertarians are one of many such systems to declare their own set of rights.  What ought to be remembered, however, is that the founding fathers who wrote the US Constitution followed Enlightenment values, not libertarian.  Libertarians declaring rights to exist is generally cute but harmless.  Children of the Enlightenment declaring rights to exist quite often find that the law is on their side.

The key under modern law is whether one is providing goods or services to the public.  If you are providing goods or services to the public in one's home, one's home has become a public place.  I've got friends running a game store that is struggling enough that they sleep at the store.  That their place of business is also their home does not mean they are free to discriminate.

Bob, my business is not a retail (open to the public) business. I can refuse to do business with SWJ's, assholes of either sex or any race or any political affiliation or any religion for any reason. I have that right and you have that right whether you choose to recognize it and use it or not. You can do business with black preachers who spew racist rhetoric, feed racial resentment and feeling of hatred if you want to because I've got guns that can blow big nasty holes in them and blow an arm/leg off with the pull of a trigger and the right to be unsympathetic for dumb ass blues who support/ politically ignore them. What's happening, America and all its loyal supporters and its true believers are winning an ideological war now to avoid a civil war down the road. You would be wise to start/shift to viewing issues from more of an American's perspective vs a blues perspective. It's up to you. My only interests in liberal Washington, DC are our national monuments.
