No it wasnt... most Jim Crow laws required separation on the races... and it wasnt an option for a lot of private businesses.

Of course it was an option. There was no legislation require business to discriminate. No law saying that "white's only" signs had to be posted outside of stores. It was a choice of the business owner who was, as you said: privately owned businesses were just exercising its right to do business with whomever they want.

You seem to have forgotten your history.

It was not a choice... separate but equal was the law. And because of this, the private business owners had no choice, nor did the black community.

"Jim Crow laws mandated the segregation of public schools, public places, and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms, restaurants, and drinking fountains for whites and blacks."


Jim Crow laws legalized segregation but did not compel businesses to be racially exclusive. That was the choice of the business owner.


the Jim Crow laws of Alabama:


Nurses: No person or corporation shall require any white female nurse to nurse in wards or rooms in hospitals, either public or private, in which negro men are placed.

Buses: All passenger stations in this state operated by any motor transportation company shall have separate waiting rooms or space and separate ticket windows for the white and colored races.

Railroads: The conductor of each passenger train is authorized and required to assign each passenger to the car or the division of the car, when it is divided by a partition, designated for the race to which such passenger belongs.

Restaurants: It shall be unlawful to conduct a restaurant or other place for the serving of food in the city, at which white and colored people are served in the same room, unless such white and colored persons are effectually separated by a solid partition extending from the floor upward to a distance of seven feet or higher, and unless a separate entrance from the street is provided for each compartment.

Pool and Billiard Rooms: It shall be unlawful for a negro and white person to play together or in company with each other at any game of pool or billiards.

Toilet Facilities, Male: Every employer of white or negro males shall provide for such white or negro males reasonably accessible and separate toilet facilities.
