Ah. Free association is what it'd be called by libertarians. I see what you mean now.
Was he against government-forced segregation?
I'm kind of bad in these situations (from a libertarian perspective) because I tend to refuse to worry about things I like the outcome of.
If you and I had incredibly similar views on how people should behave, and we both put time and money into achieving those outcomes, but I didn't support using violence (libertarian reductionist view of government), does that mean I support things I'm ostensibly fighting personally?
He would have opposed the Civil Rights Act "because of the property rights element." See? Principled stand.

I'm talking pure theory/ethics now. What I'd support politically will vary.
I agree with free association and, to some degree, property rights. I don't think my "yeah, fuck racists" stance is principled.
Okay, but we aren't talking about you.
