Senator Kennedy of Louisiana confronted Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the transparency of the social media company's policies on Tuesday.

[...]

"I'm going to suggest you go home and rewrite it, and tell your $1,200 dollar and[sic] hour lawyer...you want it written in English not Swahili, so the average American user can understand," Kennedy said.

    Why would a business do this? Simple: The population of white customers who wanted a segregated environment was larger and richer than the population of black customers. If you had to choose between selling to, say, 10,000 people with $30 a week in spare cash, and 7,000 people with $5 a week in spare cash, which would you pick?

    Plus this was the era when the racists were so pissed off they'd drag people off buses and beat them to death in broad daylight and get away with it. If I were a business owner can't say I'd really want that fury directed e.g. through the windows of my store ballistically.
