I'd walk on by, safe in the knowledge that race is a dinosaur that doesn't know it's extinct. It's amusing to watch misplaced 'commitment' dissipate in the face of economic privation. Between their 'ideals' and their bank balance, the outcome is assured.

No, its very real and exist even if you think it does not...
 
If it was legal .....

If a business -- any business -- decided to put a sign in their window saying "No [insert any race here] Allowed", would you still patronize that business?

Anonymous poll.
If a buisness has a no gun sign posted I still go in armed and that's the exact same thing, so yeah I probably would shop at a store with a no-race sign.
 
I would never willingly patronize a discriminatory business. And I do not care if that discrimination is based on color, gender or on sexual preference.
 
I would refuse to be provided service

Probably not. I certainly would avoid it but if I were low on gas and it was the only gas station around then I might.

I can't imagine that i'd even question whether a given business discriminates in favor of certain patrons or not. It's just not something that would occur to me.

If a place was called "No Honkeys Allowed" I probably wouldn't go there because I'd have to assume that I wouldn't be welcome but other than that, I'm not seeing the matter as being a problem....or even a legitimate issue.
 
Racists. You don't think they exist?

Yeah. Racism exists. It always has and always will but it's such a minor issue (especially in commerce) that it's hardly worth discussing.
 
No vote
"yep, nope" cut it not .
The poll should NOT be anonymous .
If this was a century ago and I was living in a backward state, I'd probably ignore the signs. My aunt and uncle did live in the south (Mississippi or Alabama) and they had to inure this hatred and much worse...

Greetings, Josie. :2wave:

Probably not. I'd just figure they had a "burr under their saddle," and whatever they served me wouldn't be fit to eat anyway, so why bother? They could always find some excuse - "this is how we fix ____ for everyone else, so we're sorry we couldn't please your taste." Why fight when you can't win? :shock:

Depends on what they sold.
 
I have to admit I don't conduct extensive background checks on the businesses I deal with, other than to ascertain whether the provide what I need and want.
 
Like in the case of "Semites" you can fill the term in different ways.

So, you don't know what an Aryan is.
 
There is no threat when that business doesn't have the support of the vast majority of America. Look at the Westboro creeps -- they have zero traction because 99% of people don't believe in what they say or do.

Westboro doesn't want traction. They want people to hate them. They've been living off of lawsuit money for decades. Rile people up, get them to put a finger on you or slash your tires etc and then sue the **** out of them. That's why almost all of them are lawyers.
 
You certainly did there.

You brought 'Aryan' into it and I asked you if you knew what one was. How is that jumping to a conclusion, and which conclusion would it be?

Think about it. ;)
 
Think about it. ;)

I did, that's why I asked the question. The KKK and Hitler never got it right and miss-identification in my view is one reason we have a race problem in this country.
 
Like I don't know their names, just libertarians in general.

Oh, so libertarians in general are looking to support businesses that discriminate, huh. Got any proof to that statement?
 
On the USA side of the line, Native Americans on reservation land are required to be on a lawless land in terms of major offenses. The Native Americans can not enforce any felony laws. Nor can the local, county or state police. Only the federal government can - and they basically do nothing at all.

The government did NOT want NAs to have the ability to put white people on trial with NAs as the judge and jury. Nor did they want local, county and state police/authorities to continue the extreme bigoted practices against NAs either. So came up with the crappiest possible solution. Basically lawlessness.

So in condemning Native American behavior to understand it would be to declare there are no police, no courts, and no jails in a white, black or Latino community. Then see how no rule of law has worked out a century later. Eliminate rule of law and there will be increasing levels of misconduct. If not, let's just fire all police and judges and empty out the prisons.

There is a lot of proactive bigotry against whites by some NAs that they WILL act upon if they believe they can get away with it. They may or may not try to justify it by the past. The bigotry goes both ways, including violently less rare than most people think it does.
