This thread isnt exactly all about extolling the endless virtue of Arkansas.
We have a law in Canada that states "Absolutely NO black people are allowed in this country, if you are black and you try to enter Canada, you will be hanged".

Is this wrong? But what if we don't enforce it? Is it still wrong?

A de facto law is not law. Only law is law. Morally reprehensible law covered by a tolerant de facto law is still morally reprehensible.
