This is America, they can do as they please.

However, if they do practice racist exclusion, as Rand Paul suggests that they do, those businesses are subject to the following in this day and age:

- Public Shame

- Boycotts

- Protests

- Lawsuits

- Unfavorable news coverage

- Unfavorable word of mouth

- Loss of the ability to take money from, or do business with the US Government

- Loss of business and profits as a result of the above



Again, businesses are quite free to follow Paul's sage advice...


But what "businessman/woman" would be in their right mind, were they to followed it?

Not many.
