What are you wanting evidence to prove? I've already referred you to the race relations act and the human rights act. Society cannot operate without rules, one of those rules is you aren't allowed to discriminate against others because of their race. It helps society function.
What more do you want? Whats different between your demand to be allowed to prevent blacks entering your shop because they're black and someone demanding to be allowed to kill any blacks on his property? Society doesn't work like that. Individual rights are social constructs.
What your not grasping is that any private property rights you may have don't supercede another individuals rights not to be discriminated against on grounds of race. I don't think I can articulate that any more clearly.
I've already stated WHAT I believe should be the limits!
Wrong. Rights to person and property should be respected.
Maybe so, but a store has no right to serve them.
Yes. And?
I don't believe that at all. The basis of my belief in discriminating in this instance is PROPERTY RIGHTS!
You believe that property rights supercede human rights. Well they don't. At least not in this country.
Why is it you're prepared to accept the exitence of the individuals right to protection from force and fraud, but not from oppression? Your views are flawed.
Because NO force or fraud is committed by excluding someone on the basis of race!
Based on what? You go find me what part of the Human Right Act stipulates ownership entitles you to racially discriminate?
What on earth are you talking about? I asked you why you believed in the protection of the individual from force or fraud but not from oppression? And you answer because no force or fraud is involved in oppression? Thats not answering the question. So I'll reiterate.
Why is it you respect someones right to protection from force or fraud but not from oppression? Do you think there's nothing wrong with oppression?
I own a car and I can racially disciminate all I want, likewise with my food I can say who can eat it and who cant. We do have freedom to racially discriminate in some areas at the moment.
Actually you can't.
Taken from the Race Relations Act 1976
"s 20 Provision of goods, facilities or services.
(1) It is unlawful for any person concerned with the provision (for payment or not) of goods, facilities or services to the public or a section of the public to discriminate against a person who seeks to obtain or use those goods, facilities or services--
(a) by refusing or deliberately omitting to provide him with any of them;
(2) The following are examples of the facilities and services mentioned in subsection (1)--
(a) access to and use of any place which members of the public are permitted to enter;
(f) facilities for transport or travel;"
If you want to start concerning yourself with offering people lifts in your car you cannot discriminate on grounds of race.
