If my company works best with white supremacist bigots on the payroll, why shouldn't I be able to hire them if they don't let their bigotry disenfranchise customers or create other problems?

If you can establish that white supremacist bigotry is a key "qualification" required to function in your company, then of course, you could use that in the selection process.

You don't owe jobs to anyone. The only thing expected of you is to not discriminate against on the basis of color, and instead to select on the basis of merit.

Remember, nobody is forcing you to hire blacks. If you sincerely have a negative view of them in the workplace, all you have to do is go with the lilly white applicants and claim that they are more qualified. If someone wanted to file a dsicrimination charge, the burden of proof would be on them, and as qualification merit would be vague, it wouldn't be an easy case for them unless it was overwhelmingly obvious case of discrimination.
