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

You answered your own question.

Not sure but there are going to be some very tough questions/actions regarding MLK and his legacy in 2027 when this is released. If credible and true Statues must come down schools and streets will have to be renamed etc. We already have precedent for this and even MLK will not be immune to it.

According to The Times, a memo accompanying the tape alleges King "looked on and laughed" as a pastor of Baltimore's Cornerstone Baptist Church raped a woman in the hotel room. The pastor died in 1991.
The FBI documents say King had a conversation in which he "discussed which women among the parishioners would be suitable for natural and unnatural sex acts," The Times wrote, citing Garrow's article.

why was the FBI spying on an American citizen????

Because he was aligning with people who did not have America’s best interest. We already know MLK was morally bankrupt which doesn’t mean much other than he was a total fraud. Watching and laughing at a rape is a step too far. IF it’s credible and true (and the fact it was sealed from public until 2027 leads credence to that) it all must come down. Statues and the whole nine yards. Precedent has already been set in regards to things like this.

Your post is so off the mark it’s not even worth discussing with you the actual arguments for unconstitutionality.
You should read more. Being serious. You’re interested. Get educated.

Agree. If I run a private business and decide I don’t want to serve tall, fat white people or short, skinny black people I should have that right. Now the market would determine how smart that decision is but it still should be your choice as a private owner
Same goes for the ADA stuff. If I don’t want to spend the money to install high dollar ramps, etc at a private business I shouldn’t have to do that.

Is your question “is the 14th amendment constitutional?”

While you are correct because of the political distortion of our constitution thru the congress, executive, and SCOTUS. - that does not disallow a philosophical discussion of all the ills we have endured because of the erosion of our constitutional rights in honor of swamp corruption and other more nefarious causes.
Our founders would be totally ashamed of our state.
But hey - everything that Hitler did was LEGAL - as you might console the survivors of the concentration camps = "suck it up and deal with it."

The federal government simply does not have the power constitutionally to do everything that “seems like a good idea.“. The notion that the federal government has that much power is what got us into the current mess to begin with.
MY GAWD - we totally agree with each other on this statement.
May have to re-evaluate some of your earlier posts.

The vast majority of the mid-60s civil rights legislation has been challenged ad nauseam on Constitutional bases. It is still standing after decades of near-continuous SCOTUS review.

Absolutely, why would you want to visit a racist store anyway.
"Build your own restaurant/hardware/store/department store whatever.
That's what conservatives are told.

MLK did not support gay marriage and thus was a huge bigot who deserved to be shot,

I will wait.
