If someone is threatening, harassing or abusive, etc.
no, you don't have to carry a gun to be refused and asked to leave. If someone is causing nuisance or disruption, yes, that person can be black or any affiliation and be asked to leave; being black or transgender or any other minority is not an excuse to take advantage of if you are abusing your rights or freedoms to cause a breach of the peace for others.
If all people agreed to act respectable and responsible in public
we could tell who the troublemakers are. There is nothing wrong with making that extra effort to make it clear you are not some criminal with ill intent, instead of flaunting it and testing people who do not know you personally.
If everyone agreed what the rules are, and how to act, and what the PROCEDURES are for correcting a problem, we could address most conflicts in advance, and agree how to proceed, instead of waiting till the point of confrontation to react. We need to go back to the days when communities knew who each other was, so there is less mistaken profiling.
In general where there is a conflict, which are often mutual and not onesided, I suggest resolving conflicts first, get the issues and emotions out of the way
BEFORE making a legal decision that all parties agree respects them equally.
If it's too much work to resolve, the party who doesn't want the hassle will agree to some other concession and be happy with that.
If it's a matter of projecting personal issues on someone else to make a statement, where something personal needs to be resolved,
I believe in addressing that FULLY as a PERSONAL issue
and keeping the business and legal issues second.
If you treat people as individuals on a PERSONAL level
more of these problems can be resolved and never become some legal battle;
once it escalates to push an agenda, and treat someone as "symbolizing"
a whole group, issue or problem, it's almost impossible to resolve.
The best approach I know is not let it get to that level.

So... you agree that a commercial establishment has as much right to refuse service to a black person as they do someone legally carrying a gun.
Correct?
