Yes I can and will tell a fucking bigot to get the fuck out of my business if I owned one. If you allow discrimination to grow horrible things follow.

For clarification, am I smelling the hint of "reverse racism"? I ask because I warn you, that won't wash as an argument with me.
The GOP and business owners in general defend the old line, "right to refuse service for any reason".
Am I willing per say, for example, if I owned a bar and a drunk black or Hispanic or Asian was disruptive? Yes. But that does not address what we are seeing now as far as political scapegoating. I think it is wrong to try to make that false equation.
The difference is I wouldn't be kicking them out based on race or religion or nationality or sexual orientation.
Yes, I will kick your ass out of that same bar, even if you are not drunk, if you come in with KKK symbols or Nazi symbols. Those vile icons only belong in history books and museums as a reminder of what not to do to your fellow human being.
