I'm almost ok with limited scope public accomodation, food and shelter. I understand that thinking. This is retarded.

It's abused to violate our rights of association, speech, etc. No one complains when black people say to keep the money in the "community". No one is checking to make sure that only 13% of their haircuts are done with black barbers, 13% with Latino barbers, 63% with white, 50% with women, 6% with homos, 0.4% with trannies, etc. In other words, when we "hire" someone to cut our hair, are we free to use race and sex as determinants? Of course we are. Why should it be any different elsewhere? And why should it always seem to only work in one direction? I think if someone would refuse business to a black person because they're black and they hate black people, they're morally wrong, but that should be their right. We have the right to do all kinds of things that most would say are a-hole behaviors. That's why we need rights: no one needs the "right" to do something that everyone agrees with.
