Pretty self explanatory, is it okay to support directly or indirectly such things, even if they do have racist intent or allow and increase discrimination?
Is it okay to support racism under the guise of advocating buisness or State's rights

But don't you see, buisnesses should have the right to discriminate! Because money is important

You don't actually believe this, do you? How can buisnesses get more money by being rasist?

Discrimination is ok in this country apparently as long as it doesnt apply to race, gender, ect.
Its ok to discriminate on many other non-important or inherent qualities however such as homosexuality (in the military) or being transexual (They recieve no protection from discrimination under federal law).

It's basically about buisness rights and whether the gov'ment is too big and controlling to much

Nyet. It is every citizen's patriotic duty to bash the fash. 
"Libertarians" like to pretend that people will boycott racists businesses. That's not the same thing.

But don't you see guys, all your petty arguments can be resolved in one simple catch phrase which encompasses the libertarian view easily "Screw you, Got mine".

Nah, that is Anarcho-Capitalism
Libertarianism is similar but with the added phrase: "and we work to exploit the proletariat and make it so they can't gain any recourse for grievances. After all, my wealth to have servants for my servants is more important than their right not to an education."

Does that mean you wouldn't boycott a racist business and us libertarians are only pretending you'd boycott racist businesses?

He (probably) means it's an excuse to justify discrimination and racism.
Whether I would or not is irrelevant to the fact that the business that was openly racist would not be boycotted by enough people to reduce their profits.

no, he means people wont boycott racists
edit: and you were (probably) wrong

So in reality the market would be fine with it and wouldn't "deal with it"

What about all the people being discriminated against? Where I live a third of the population is Black, so if a company is rasist against Blacks then they would lose at least (and probley more) than a third of their profits.

They do however go together like a homophobic republican and a sex scandal. You've got to admit this perculiar thing.
