Not because he was a racist or that he hated blacks. Mainly that it was not an area where the federal government has any constitutional jurisdiction.

From a strictly libertarian point of view -- can anyone articulate what the difference is between being forced to allow a customer into your private business and being forced to allow someone into your home?

At what point does the question of freedom of association come into this?
The law was passed in part b/c black people could not find any hotels or motels that would allow them to stay in Florida and the southern states as they traveled down I-95. A florida state case was the case that was brought up to the SC. The SC used the "interstate commerce clause" to stretch the Federal arm into state's rights to regulate their own businesses and laws.

IIRC If florida or any other state wants to allow their hotels and motels to discriminate based upon race, the can but will not recieve any of the federal to state funding for their raodways, etc.
