re: #569 Gus 802

Where would you draw the line in the fantasy of yours? Do you believe it would be within the right of a business owner to:

1. Deny blacks (or any other minority) access to a private ambulance?
2. Deny blacks (or any other minority) access to emergency medical treatment in a private medical clinic?
3. Deny blacks (or any other minority) access to private medical treatment?

There can be many more example. Say you have a black family living in a small community. Are you telling me the only private medical provider should be allowed to discriminate forcing them to drive 100s of miles to get treatment?

I keep seeing this strawman. Could someone, anyone, point out where in this country there is a truly “private” hospital? There is no such animal.

Secondly I’d like to point out, again, that government intervention is what caused the problem (Jim Crow laws) to begin with. If the state and federal governments had kept out it integration would have happened decades earlier. Government action is not a panacea to all our problems and as a matter of course tend to make things worse rather than better.
