This isn't a constitutional right situation is what I'm saying. This is a PR aspect that any company fights. A worker at McDonalds, according to your logic, has a right to yell, "N-gger!" at anyone he wants at work without reprocussions. How long do you think he would, or SHOULD work there in reality?

There was once a time when I bought into the logic regarding businesses having every right to stop me from saying what I want, or them some how not having to honor the rights outlined in the Constitution, but no more.
Do we now argue that the government can't violate our rights, but businesses can?
