Unless you are an employee fulfilling conditions of employment you should be free to serve who ever you want and be free to refuse service to those you do not want to serve. You were born to be self determinate and so you should remain.

You will need to explain that statement or be seen as utterly insane.
After the civil war you had a situation where you had a black population who knew how to work very hard, were productive, intelligent, and therefore could have easily moved up the economic ladder. They were doing it. Of course certain societal elements didn't like that so they passed laws which restricted peoples freedoms specifically the freedom of the black population. Jim Crow laws, minimum wage laws designed to cheap black labor out of the market, etc.
Had blacks been given all the freedoms due to them as human beings, we wouldn't have needed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Discrimination would have been punished economically. Blacks would have integrated into society and old stereo types would have faded away.
It wasn't slavery that destroyed black society and kept in the ghetto. It was the force of government.
