The example you give is probably the most common reason why Libertarians are called "racists", but it's based entirely on a misunderstanding. Libertarians believe in the free market; a private means of exchanging goods and services. If it is private, rather than public, then every transaction is controlled absolutely by the people who are directly involved with it (i.e. the producer and the consumer). If the producer decides they don't want to sell to the consumer, they can reject the transaction, and if the consumer decides they don't want to buy from the producer, they can do the same.
It works in much the same way as it would with how most private property works today. If you own a house, you can (for the most part) set your own rules about who you let into and out of your house.

Clearly a person born to a wealthy family is "more wealthy" than someone born to a poor family, and therefore not economically equal. What the "born equal" statement means is that no person is worth more than any other; that when deciding how a government should treat its citizens, things like wealth, race, sex, gender, etc. should not matter or indeed come into the process at all.
