8. I assume you are talking about the civil rights act of 1964

Sep 2014

so let me repeat my question, is it private or is it known as "public accommodations"?

that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.[6] It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace and by facilities that served the general public (known as "public accommodations&quot .

Curious, we do have black colleges, and then there is our public and private colleges that take folks based on their grades. They take people of all color, religions etc. but within them they have fraternities and sororities, private and some based even based on the color of your skin. Oh my are you ok with this?
