You could hire me to go with you.
Make that free, I'm pissed.

A friend of mine and I were walking from the Naval Station, and stopped at a Popeye's to pick up some Chicken. Whole place went dead quiet, 50 eyes watched us go up, buy our chicken and leave.
Mulatto cab driver pulled up alongside us about a minute later and offered us a free ride out of the area. Said that even he was too white to be walking that street in the middle of the night.
At the time, I was a fit 6'5", 230, and my friend was 6', 210 or so. Guessing our size saved us a bit o trouble.
This was the summer of 1981, IIRC.

Perhaps someone will correct me, but it is my understanding that an FFL can refuse to sell a firearm to someone if the sale does not feel right to him. It is a subjective judgement that could only be deemed a civil rights violation if a pattern could be determined.

No kidding. The McD's next door to the BET Studios outside DC is another place where reverse-racism is not only practiced, but encouraged.
Any grief he suffers he pretty much brought on himself.

What ever happened to a business having the right to refuse service to someone.
That went away when the water fountains for whites only and blacks only went away. The * should have kept his mouth shut instead of looking for attention, he poked the bear, now he's getting attention.
Making public statements that you intend to discriminate against a group based on racial or ethnic characteristics is going to attract the kind of scrutiny that a business owner doesn't want. Had he enacted his new policy discreetly, and restricted business on an individual basis then he may well have gone under the RADAR for quite sometime.
