If you are living in a society where racism is tolerated, then a whites-only bar that routinely beats up and throws out black people would stay in business for a long time, and it would perpetuate the racism throughout the society.
Well, I take a little issue with this. Society wouldn't just have to "tolerate" racism for such an establishment to be successful, it would have to be overwhelmingly supportive of racism. It's hard enough to make money in the bar/restaurant business even IF you're willing to serve everyone.
In order for a "whites only" bar to succeed, the number of whites who are SO racist that they prefer bars where no blacks are would have to exceed the number of blacks (and the number of whites who find racism abhorrent, for that matter).
This is exactly what Peter Schiff was talking about in his radio show by the way. He said that he would prefer any anti-Seitic business owners in New York to put up "No Jews Allowed" signs so that he and all his friends would know that place was anti-Semitic and would choose not to shop there. Under current laws, racist business owners merely hide their racism and still benefit from the business of those they are racist against.
