The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State. - James Madison

Its the job of the government to prevent public disturbances.

We can't (and shouldn't) stop people from saying anything controversial. If someone gets violent because of something someone else said, we should arrest the violent person.Originally Posted by jankren

We also can't have public discrimination for being different. "Right to free speech" doesn't mean you can say whatever you darn well want. Racial minorities have the right to live without being pestered for no particular reason.

Sure we can.
If someone doesn't want to serve you because you have no shirt and no shoes, tough titties, it's their service.
If soemone doesn't want to serve you because you're black, tough titties, it's their service.
What is it with leftists and making up imaginary "rights"?Racial minorities have the right to live without being pestered for no particular reason.

They're odd people in general
A right to your own property and body is like impossible for them to grasp but a "right" to have everyone be nice to you is like basic algebra.

Completely unrelated. Having different colored skin has nothing to do with sanitation.
Fine, but if said someone wants to serve that way, the can't do it in the US. You seem to think businesses operate of their own accord and ask nothing from the government. Truth be told, they are given the benefit of operating in the United States of America, and if they wish to continue operating here, they must abide by the rules. I have no idea why you say "no one has rights" paired with "businesses do have rights" all in the same statement.
lol, cute, you think I leftist. However, now we are now to the scary bit. Rights don't exist? I don't know what planet you are from pal, but government is a man made system, and as such, we can have man made rules. That's right! We defy nature! We say "you nature! we make up our own rules!", and that essentially is government. And as any group of sane people would do when making up rules, fairness is usually desired. So we enforce the best we can come up with of fairness and equality on the crazy populace by laws, because they have shown they are incapable of being reasonable own their own.
Well, what do you mean? Does the government have the right to tell us who our friends are? No. Does the government have the right to enforce regulations on a "public business"? Yes."Is it a proper function of government to tell us who we must associate ourselves with."]
"Private business" does not really mean anything. Any business that doesn't have the majority of its shares belonging to the government is considered a "private business". If she advertises or boards people she has no affiliation with other than business (like if I could pull into town and get a room there), she must abide by regulation.

Re: Woman Puts Up "Whites Only" Sign, Told to Take it Down
whats with the racial thing these days? You HAD to use black as an example because your obviously rascist toward black people. The sign said whites only, and there are 100's of other races but you had to choose black lol. Get over it. And when did the goverment force her or anybody else to associate, the goverment said you can't discriminate. it doesn't say anywhere in the constition or amy laws that you have to associate with so and so. Go back to the 1950's where you belong if you really think people should be able to refuse service because of skin color

How is putting up a sign on your property saying WHITES ONLY pestering black people.

Re: Woman Puts Up "Whites Only" Sign, Told to Take it Down
Racial minorities are just that. Obviously we wouldn't want discrimination for whites either, but that still wouldn't make them the minority, nor has that happened on any such scale as actual minorities.
Look at it this way, if a woman raped a man, would it be illegal? Of course. Does it happen often? No, not really. Hence, why there are not as many groups out there that counsel men who are victims of female rape. It is better to address the more prevalent issue.

I'll lobby against the US government in US, make deals with terrorists to crash planes all over your country.
You can't punish me. I didn't cause the Rebellion, I didn't cause the terrorist attacsk. I only agitated them.

Might I suggest euthanasia.The 53-year-old woman told police she put up the sign after someone tried to break into her house and added, “I can do what I want. I live in America,”

Nope, euthanasia should never have to be used to resolve a problem. It's a poor solution too, at that.

I am so close to getting a warning right now. What the hell? "I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it". What ever happened to free speech? Or hell, some mutual respect? This woman may not respect minorities, but does that give you the right to bash her? Have some decency.

Re: Woman Puts Up "Whites Only" Sign, Told to Take it Down
She isn't legally allowed to but should be when it comes to things such as business discrimination. Only the government shouldn't be allowed to discriminate.

Norge: "Give me a break. Nothing would make you happier than to see the eagle replaced with a crescent."
Ummon:"enforcing international law will require that the enforcers do not respect it"
Olmstead v USA:"Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means-to declare that the government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal-would bring terrible retribution. Against that pernicious doctrine this court should resolutely set its face."
