Marvin Maddox: Discrimination bad for business

I’m a grumpy old white guy who grew up in north Georgia during the days of segregation.

During the 1950s the business community in Atlanta decided that discrimination was bad for business. Soon the “Whites Only” signs were gone and life was different.

I wonder when the business community in North Carolina will inform our politicians that discrimination is bad for business, and we will stop our slide backward to the 1950s? Are we ready to repeal House Bill 2?
