25. That's right.
I'd like someone to ask him how he thinks that last 60 years would have played out, and where the country would be today, if there were no recourse in the law for civil rights and de-segregation?

He said it would be a "bad business decision" (or similar wording) for a business to exclude minorities. Even that ridiculous remark may hold true in most of the country NOW, but what about during Jim Crow? Without the Big Government stepping in, would business have corrected such an evil?

He's a naive and silly man.
