And people with more money get their rights secured faster by
government.
So your problem is with Government.
What MJ isn't telling you about Libertarianism:
the fact that Libertarianism weighs the different rights afforded to
people.
i.e. Walmart (or any business) could put up a sign saying; Blacks Not
Served (or any other variant to the theme).
He would argue that people would decide where to shop, and that
Walmart would suffer the consequences of doing so.
Maybe, maybe not.
But certainly people would be inconvenienced, and much more time and
money wasted in compliance or non compliance than is currently.
I said nothing about Libertarianism -- which does not 'weigh' rights anyhow.
Not certain WHAT your example is supposed to relate.
Sam Walton has a right to his life (yes, he is dead, but for the example ...)
Black Patron has a right to his life.
IF Sam Walton did NOT want to serve Black Patron, it is certainly his right. (That he is far more interested in 'green' would necessarily overcome such bias notwithstanding).
Black Patron has no right to FORCE Sam Walton to 'serve' him (slavery).
Similarly, Sam Walton has no right to FORCE Black Patron to buy from him.
"There is only one boss--the customer. And he can fire
everybody in the company from the chairman on down,
simply by spending his money somewhere else" -- Sam Walton.

Half true.
The part of the Civil War that many people overlook is the fact that
many northerners were out of work precisely because of the low cost of
slavery.
Lincoln's War is irrelevant to the Minimum Wage.
