I have a feeling this is going to be a bit like banging my head against the wall, but let's give it a go.

First of all, this isn't a social issue, it's a civil one. Secondly, we still wouldn't allow blacks to eat in the same restaurants as whites if it weren't for the government getting involved. I have to ask, as I did earlier with 3nout, do you think the Civil Rights Act of 1964 got it wrong?
