A colleague of mine at work visited the deep south recently and one of the towns still had separate entrances and different food for blacks and whites in the main shop. The food for black people was consistently lower quality than the food for whites.
What rights? If there is no right not to be discriminated against then no one's rights are violated!
A business owner owns his business so should be free to determine who should work there!
Shit was segregation in the South unconstitutional!
Race-based restrictions (“no blacks” for instance) are not allowed and rightly so.
just a few miles off the beaten track can reveal a bygone age of barely-recalled thoughts, feelings and customs
I love travel, I do:)
And he/she is so long as they don't discriminate on account of race. Thats the law. Welcome to modern society.
Maybe but this seriously could happen.
In a racist society where shopkeepers are allowed to not sell to minorities there is a serious danger that those people could not get food.
If the system does not work in possible circumstances then it is not a good one.........
or in In a racist society where shopkeepers are allowed to not sell to majorities - I know a Asian cafe in Walthamstow where some friends (White) were stared at and frozen out of the place
It didn't bother them too much, the cafes loss really. That must be the tip of an iceberg in terms of where group A would not be welcomed by group B
Maybe you address the common things that occur commonly rather than that hypothetical old lady
Ahhhhh, more of your stories eh?
I don't doubt it occasionally happens, but its convenient that you have an example of racism towards white people for every occasion innit? :rolleyes:

did he/she split in two to get both foods?
You don't know me. So what if my posts offend you? Why the fuck can't I speak my mind?
Shit.:rolleyes:
The law in this country isn't an absolute, since it can easily be repealed! Is it wrong to question WHY anti-discrimination legislation is necessary?!
Drugs are illegal but you can still argue as to whether they should be legalised or not!
Well if it's not a myth lets see you back it up. Under what basis do you derive the right to discriminate because you own something. Because it certainly doesn't have any kind of legal backing in this country.
It's just living in a capitalist society!!
Such is life.
who says you have the right to own anything? Society. Whether you like i or not our whole way of life is derived from our society, and so we have to stick by society's rules. Society says that you can't discriminate against race.
But the government OVERSEEING that society can easily make laws permitting discrimination!!
The reason for what you say is because all human rights and freedoms should exist without any discrimination on any grounds (Article 14 of the European Convention Human Rights, I think
The Race Relations Act 1976 bans discrimination towards employment on the grounds of race.
I'm really not certain what you're asking here.
And what are vague principles? How are property rights vague?
Well if you believe that then I'm afraid you're going to have to find a nation state that agree withs you because it isn't, and in modern history NEVER has been the reality in this country.
As was mentioned before if you live in a society you have to adhere to the rules of that society. You may believe that if you own something you are free to discriminate racially on it's behalf but the reality is society disagrees with you - and what society says, goes.
You've yet to even back up your claims with anything approaching a legal basis. You're theory of "private property ownership" simply isn't supported by any kind of history or precedent in this country. You don't seem to be grasping this.
