You are correct, there are no laws that say you can't call black people the n-word.
There are also no laws that say a private organization can't ban you from doing business with them after you call their black employees the n-word.

I can't believe people are now expecting others to accommodate their ignorant, racist ideas. Used to be, racists didn't expect other people to accommodate them. Now they do.
What has recently changed in our society?
So when are the 49ers going to revoke tickets from all the Bay Area liberals who hate white people?

Just get some tickets to a Boston Red Sox game, you should feel safe there.

Reflecting on my post, although it was supposed to be funny, I realize it isn't. I did what I have accused others on this site of doing. I posted something in writing without really thinking about it - although Boston is known for having their fair share of racists, probably 95% of the folks at the game aren't. Bad generalization on my part.

Hopefully for Boston today is different than back then.

Sadly it's not. There are a few recent articles citing Major League Baseball players who still refer to Boston as the most racist city they visit and the only place they have ever been called 'n-----'. Whether it's hyperbole and/or anecdotal it sill seems to be the general consensus.
Hell, Bill Russell refuses to attend many Celtics events due to how he was treated and he's the winningest player in Boston history.
And for what it's worth there's now a push to rename Yawkey Way since he was such a massive racist tool bag that both Tom Henry and John Harrington had to acknowledge this fact on taking over CEO responsibilities.
