Right.
What he's saying there is that the free-markets should determine these things. E.g. People wouldn't be caught shopping at such an overtly racist establishment in broad daylight. Everyone's free to have their opinion on whether or not that would work, but thats his position. He's not advocating businesses prevent non-white patrons from sitting at the lunch counter.
Also, I think Rand Paul said this, not Ron Paul.
