even if i wanted to pay, they could deny me for any reason they want. they could disallow me because i was black, or white, or male, or whatever else they wanted.
point is, as a PRIVATE organization, that does not advertise as being 'open to the public', they are legally allowed to do such.
the gas station and the grocery store can't do that (anymore). and when they were able to do so, many did disallow blacks and did just fine. and it caused harm to others.
in america, we allow people to do what they want as long as it does not harm others or infringe on their rights (in theory). well, blacks were harmed by segregation.
end point: your right to be a bigot is not greater than the rights of others not to be harmed by bigotry.
