Rising Hegemon
There are things that people were concerned about that were unintended consequences [of the Civil Rights Act]...It’s not all about race relations, it’s about controlling property, ultimately.It's not about "race" it's about "property"...
You sure you really want to go with that analogy you prick?

Young jerkwad is trying (unsuccessfully) to make the point that bigots who operated public establishments could no longer discriminate, and were being denied the right to use their property as they wished.
It's a standard libertarian argument against the Civil Rights Act, that the rights of bigots (because they are property owners) supercede the rights of minorities to equal treatment.
It's a lame argument, and always has been--especially because business owners who did not discriminate were harassed by those who did, and the CRA does not deny property owners their intended use or function of commercial, publicly accessible property. The ultimate intent of such an argument was to maintain segregation, rather than to protect individual property rights. As a legislator, this bigot knows that this element of the CRA has been upheld many times, or ought to know.
Nice try, asshole, but no cigar.
Reminds me of this time in American history when a man was worth less than a diner counter stool.
Seems like also there was this kerfluffle about property rights wasn't there, linking with the counter stool?
What was that again?
change is a bitch.
