do you believe a private business should have the right to refuse service to someone based solely on their race or skin color?
Absolutely.
... thanks for your honest answer. How do you feel about an emergency room physician refusing to save the life of, say, a 7 yr old black kid, due to his race? Many doctors are their own private business. Not trolling, mind you, but this is a common scenario when people argue this particular point.

You're right.
And how about a black doctor refusing to save the life of a white kid?
A privately owned utility refusing to cut the power on to your house?
A black realtor refusing to show you a house?
How about your privately owned company where you work hiring a black supervisor who decides to fire you because you're white?
Etc., etc.

Wouldn't this run contrary to their sworn Hippocratic Oath and therefore not a tenable scenario, legally speaking?

It's terrible, but constitutionally protected freedom of association.
