If a poster is stupid enough to fall for the title and promote cherry-picked, irrelevant race-baiting nonsense, we'll see them being stupid in the thread.
You're probably a big tipper, all guilted into tipping those people who serve you for less than min wage. No, not guilted? OK, you're a cheap tipper? Figures.

Milo is simply a performance artist, much like Ann Coulter. Making lots of money by spewing hate to those not equipped with enough common sense to see that already for themselves . Rabble, rabble, rabble.

Opinions don't require data and research. They're just opinions based on personal experience, and that kind of thing lacks the formality that can be reduced to data which can be researched. We all have opinions. I personally think Ted Cruz is kind of smarmy, but I'd be hard pressed to explain why I think that in a brief summary.

True, but stupid stereotypes are stupid, especially when they make stupid generalizations about roughly half the country.

E.g. IMO, most Trump voters couldn't find their ass with both hands and a map! ;)

The idea that anyone would equate people saying provocative things is akin to yelling "fire" in a movie theater is crazy. You can't cancel someone's speech/appearance over what you think they MIGHT say. The fact that alt-left groups threaten violence and destruction is why events require so much security.
Effectively, it is shutting down free speech.
And, giving into terrorists.

Ann Coulter has been screeching for 20 years, and hasn't said one thing of value yet. Unless you consider.....the left...the left...but the left. She does require a lot of leg room on her flights though. Seems she could afford first class.

I put her in creepy class, along with Ted Cruz.

You certainly get frazzled easily.
It is clear you didn't even read your own linked article. Obviously this was an attempt to make a political statement, which we are free to do in the USA.
You are equally free to make your own. The only clear statement you have made so far is....OMG look what THEY are doing!!!!

Not much different than those that riot in protest of speakers that they (are told to) disagree with without a clue as to what those speakers have actually said. I get a kick out of interviews with many of them where they are asked to elborate on specific examples of the "hate speech" uttered by those that they claim to be protesting - only to prove that they have no clue and spew nonsense like "hate speech" is not protected by the 1A".

Even their "leaders" have no clue about what free speech is about. Bad ideas (according to them, of course) like enforcing current immigration law (immigrant bashing?) must not be uttered.

And yet, fragile snowflake fascist liberals are so triggered by her "no value" speeches that they start riots in order to shut her down.

Makes sense.

I did see that. And you demonstrated that the cost of business is higher in such areas, and that residents of those areas pay much more for everything they need to purchase.
So how would charging those people even more (as Renae suggests) help? I don't see the validity of her argument. It is not an analogy to the demonstration in La...

I'll give you twenty bucks for one thing of value Ann Coulter has ever uttered. Think hard.

Reparations will never happen. Perhaps they should, maybe they shouldn't, but that is a dog whistle you are following there.

Oh baloney.

They'll be delayed, but they'll get them just as soon as they have the political power.......and not a second later.

Here's your problem, the Mexicans are beating down the fences to get in here and as soon as they are settled they will have their own set of grievances (we do the jobs blacks wont do) for reparations (the Spanish-American War was more recent than the civil war) and they will outnumber you.

The abortion clinics are working full time on keeping the black numbers down too....Mexicans come here to have their babies, not abort them.

Wait...you DONT think the commentary becomes racist the moment you attempt to frame the discussion in the category of 'white people'?

Re: A restaurant is charging white customers more to highlight racial wealth inequality

Way to manipulate discussion by omitting the facts and realities of what really happened and why. First, please take a look at this link, which shows the restaurant itself along with its announcement of this new, temporarily experiment on racial wealth disparity:

https://instagram.com/p/Be6HBUqFo94/?utm_source=ig_embed

The owner's words:

..."The standard price was available to all customers, while the suggested price was offered to white customers.

The pricing differential represents the wage disparity between black and white households in New Orleans.

The net profit collected from sales at the suggested price was redistributed to customers of colour."

The temporary scheme only ran for a month at the venue but it proved to be successful and helped create discussions. ...

From that some here have dived into indignant squeals of "illegal!" "racist!" "whites being victimized", yada, yada, yada, which proves either people did not bother to read (or even skim) the linked article and went solely on the mischaracterization of the OP, or they read the article and realized the OP had nothing to do with reality, and moved on.

Ask yourself, when you posted in this thread, which one were you? :lol:

Neither.

I correctly identified it as an example of voluntary reparations--an attempt to keep reparations in the news in a small way.

That's all it is.

She has written many (10?) best selling books and has a syndicated cloumn. You may dislike the content, as many seem to do, but to assert that she has not received value from uttering stuff is absurd.

So if a Restaurant charged blacks more, an in area with high black crime, to highlight the cost of black crime, would that too be okay?

I hate this racist ****, from any side.

Do you even read your own articles? It was to make aware of the income disparity in New Orleans. It only lasted a month and was meant create awareness and discussion of the issue. In fact white customers were only asked to pay more not required and they sure as hell weren't required to eat there. You may disagree with the premise but at least be honest about what occurred. 78% of the white customers VOLUNTARILY paid more. It was also a social experiment in terms of how someone responds to being judged. Pretty interesting actually.
