Mmmm. So if a racist says, “I have the right, on my property, to refuse service based on race!”

And I say, “I agree.”

I am a racist?

I thought we already settled this…

I am not talking about the right to say “I am banning you do to your race”. I defend that right. I agree with the persons ability to say that.

However if you then say I agree with his statement you should be banned because of your race. That makes the person that agrees with that… a racist.

No, we didn’t. Read my post again please. Don’t contort my question.

So I’m not a racist for agreeing that he has the right? I just want to be clear.

He has the right to say that. You are not racist for agreeing with his right to say it.

He DOES NOT have the right to actually deny someone based on race. Nor do I agree with that.

That
Is
Racist

One would be racist if they agreed with the statement and/or the act of denial based on race.

Actually he does.

You either believe in freedom of thought, freedom who you want to associate, freedom of idea’s or you don’t.

There isn’t much room for gray area. Once you walk into that gray area you never know where it will lead too.

For me that line is threats and intimidation.

From a business? Or private property?

Either was it’s still racist

What gray area? His example is racist. Why is this up for debate?

And racism comes in many forms. Libs policies had done more to harm minorities then some loud mouth IMO.

So? I made no distinction on the types of racism.

I see that statement quite a bit from cons…but never comes with actual data.

I am a minority. I am in the 1% of income earners. Convince me that con policies are better me than lib ones? Particularly social ones (since it fits with our current topic)

His business he owns.

He has a right to be racist.

You are conflating issues.

I’ve never said he doesn’t have the right to be racist.

No, two different responses to two different issues.

Let’s just stick to discrimination laws. I consider that a social policy.

A business owner has the right to refuse service based on race.

Am I a racist?

I edited that post to include “or do”

So yes… I would consider you racist.

Good. Now how do I prove I’m not?

Who could possibly care?

And you keep asking the same questions over and over. This is my final answer.

A person has the right to be a racist.

A person does not have the right to deny a person from their place of business based on their race. The current law doesn’t allow it and I am ok with that. It seems like you want that type of discrimination to exist without punishment. As a minority, I do not agree.

Well see, that’s a problem for me. On the one hand you say I have a right. On the other hand you want to punish me for exercising it.

I’ve seen that before, now where was that…
