Do I like that for some of these clubs, race is obviously an issue? No. It's repulsive. Do I think the government has any place forcing these private groups to accept members they don't want to accept? Nope.

As times change, people will change. Looking back at the past 50 years, we've come a hell of a long way. It's obvious we have a long way to go. I don't think we can simply legislate away the legacy of Jim Crow, etc.

You are reading too much into what I wrote. I said nothing about free association.

As far as we've come, then why in Pennsylvania would you have such an overt blatant act of "changing the complexion" of the pool?

Didn't I also say we still had a long ways to go? You can't deny race relations have come a long way since our parents' and grandparents' time.
