Businesses should have the right to serve anyone they choose to serve and the right to refuse service to anyone they choose to refuse. That is across the board. Some will not like some of the choices of some of the businesses for various reasons however that is just too bad. You can't require one discriminatory demand and oppose another. It's all or nothing. At least that's how it should be.
You might want to review the various Civil Rights laws which forbid discrimination on the basis of race, etc.

I said in another post that I could never hate someone to the point of being willing to vote for that person's opponent who will destroy this country. I sincerely hope every vote cast for Biden was based on something other than the hatred of Trump's arrogance. Like I told my cousin, this is much more important than a personality contesr.
I suspect a great many voters wanted an adult in the White House, rather than Mr Trump.

Obama's arrogance didn't seem to bother them. Trump's wealth was reduced by 30% while serving, the Obama's used the office to enrich themselves beyond our imagination.
A little proof of Trump's loss of 30% of his wealth? And please, don't cite his or his family's statements and evidence.

Keep friends close and your enemies closer. Trump should read more
Whether Trump reads and comprehends is uncertain. What IS certain is that he is a master huckster and con-man, and that he is pridefully, arrogantly ignorant. Consider his demand just after his defeat in the 2020 election that all US troops be immediately withdrawn from Germany and other strategic locations throughout the world. See this:

We already know that Covid itself has some serious long term effects.
One really long-term effect is death, of course.
My Daughter, 42 years old, can testify to long-term effects from the virus. She was diagnosed with Covid in late March or early April of 2020. While not a gym rat she was in good physical condition, she jogged, worked out regularly, kept her weight at a good BMI. Fortunately she was never hospitalized, and she had just been granted tenure at her college. Her college's endowment is not large, and many personnel, including teachers, have been "laid off," whether they will ever return is in question.
She now struggles with extreme fatigue, body aches, etc., requiring low dosage steroid medication, etc. Her rheumatologist says his tests suggest that she doesn't have rheumatoid arthritis. We have some concern that she may never return to the robust good health she enjoyed before Covid.
While no vaccine is perfect, the ones available to us have proven their efficacy. Side effects seem generally mild or non-existent. Given the danger of even a "mild" Covid case, it would seem to me that refusing to take the vaccine is a foolish gamble.

Arabs and Jews prior to this was amicable.
Study the history regarding escaped Nazis to Egypt then you can discuss.

Not much of a citation, IMHO.

This is what BLM is DEMANDING now.

Care to furnish a source for these "demands"? A proper citation always is a good idea, if you want to be taken seriously.....

So now a new requirement of the GOP is the requirement to adopt the old and long-standing DEM requirement of being an unprincipled liar. The GOP is working to catch up to the DEMs.
A really thoughtful response -- NOT! Do you have ANY thoughts worthy of consideration?
