| Mr Khan said: You're right that civil rights is a stretch, since the question of what is a "right" or which kinds of rights are endemic to man seems to be at the roots of most of our disputes. I mean, you disagree with portions of the Federal Civil Rights Act, do you not? Like the ones that ban businesses from discriminating based on race, with the idea that the free market would correct for that, but that it was nobody's "right" to tell business owners what they could and couldn't do. |
You're right, I do not believe that anybody has a right to partake in trade with an unwilling participant. If a business took a particular view, I would not "leave it to the markets", so to speak, I would actively campaign and inform others about that businesses bigotry, and encourage people to go elsewhere.
