Abercrombie & Fitch: "Sorry, We Don't Hire Negroes.

[GAsux]

I'm with the Capt. here. If you own your own business, and hate blacks/whites/women/gays/donkeys/whatever, then it is your perogative to not employ said folks. The government CANNOT/SHOULD NOT compell you to do otherwise.

It's not the role of the government to tell a business who it should or should not hire. As Capt. Bubba mentioned, if an employer chooses to hire a less qualified applicant, that employer to some degree has already punished himself.

The remedy for this is simple. It must come from the consumer. Not the government. Just as the employer has the freedom to choose his employees, you as the consumer have the right to choose your retailer. Don't shop there.
