Oh, stop it right now. Jeez.
Not to derail the thread topic, but although a race-discriminating business would have trouble surviving economically, I'm not sure the same can be said for businesses that openly discriminate against gays. IIRC, some such gay-discriminating businesses actually had their profits increase... at least on the short term... by being "outed" as being against homosexuals. Hobby Lobby and that big chicken franchise come to mind.
Okay, carry on. Sorry for the diversion.
Edit: Reading further, I see Josie didn't want a correlation made between race discrimination and homosexual discrimination. Again, I apologize, but still feel the post is relevant to the topic, although I won't add to that discussion.
Depends on the area. Around here there's so few African Americans that they won't stand the need to ban them. I cannot say the same about Native Americans though. I know plenty of places around here that were not going to take checks from "natives" if they could help it.
Didn't bother the rest of society though. No one gives a damn.
I grew up hearing the worst stuff said about Native Americans. The tension is so thick that I don't have any faith whatsoever that if given the opportunity they would do the right thing. They won't. They don't like Natives and have no reason to change.
That's why I think libertarians are naive as hell to think that the market makes men wise. It doesn't. Given the choice, it allows them to turn into brutes.
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?

No, I remember a few years back Maurice's restaurant in South Carolina (famous for this Carolina style mustard based bbq sauce) started handing out literature at the restaurants advocating separation of race. That alone was enough to get Wal-Mart, Food Lion, etc to stop selling his sauces and for several others to boycott him and his restaurants. Really, it's just a bad business decision to even advocate for any kind of discrimination.
No I wouldn't.
I've never lived in an area where others were openly subjected to that kind of hostility and discrimination because of their race. I love you, Fiddy, but suspect I would not do well where you live.
Nope. Most wouldn't, but that's still not good enough reason to allow said discrimination, as many libertarians/conservatives would argue.
Same here. I think that, unfortunately, a lot of people think it's OK to hate Native Americans. I don't understand it, but it's there, and it's brushed under the rug, just like other kinds of discrimination that shall not be spoken of in this thread. :lol:

Hating whites is not racism, it's merely racial bigotry. Racism is a social construct and minorities have no power to institute nor perpetuate majority privilege for themselves; therefore, a black hating whites is of no threat to whites collectively. Without a collective threat, it's an individual act and not an ism.
Don't get me wrong, I condemn racial bigotry by anyone. But pretending a black hating whites has the same impact on society is plain stupid.
Yeah, I can't really wrap my brain about hatred of Native Americans. I mean, shouldn't it actually be the other way around, given history and all? Sad.

I would patronize the business.
Would you stick to that decision, if the word 'Aryans' were inserted?
