Re: Can private clubs be sued for racial descrimination?
It seems to me that this club violated the law since it was offering it's premises to the public for rent. Once you cross that line and become a business open to the public for the rental of the premises your claim to privacy is gone.
The restricted membership policy may pass the test but once the premises are offered for rental to non-members, the restrictions smack of illegal discrimination.
