I don't know how delusional you need to be to assume it could EVER be possible that somehow every business would just refuse to serve a population because of X characteristic

But they just said it: the Jim Crow south. This isn't some crazy delusional scenario. It's literally already happened, and it was not even a hundred years ago. When schools were integrated there were mobs of white housewives yelling racial slurs at little children because they were black. This is real shit that's gone on for more of America's history than not.

Don't skip history class, everybody. But I guess if conservative judges get their way we'll probably lose that too.

Jim Crow laws didn't mean that no business served black Americans. Don't skip history class, everybody.

Good point, must not have been that bad, supreme court could really bring that one back with zero consequences, huh?

What? What are you even talking about?

Nobody wants racial segregation except the ignorant racists, who deserve the economic damage caused by being ignorant racists.

Forcing an ignorant racist to serve people they hate will accomplish nothing, and certainly won't help their ignorance or racism.

Daryl Davis is pretty vocal about the way he deradicalized KKK members, I recommend looking into him. Spoiler: the secret is shared interests (music) and normal conversation, just getting to know each other.
