"We dont serve n*ggers here" wasnt an unpopular opinion. it was a policy. how can you have a debate when idiots cant be honest about anything?You are allowed to be as bigotted as you want in your own home and own circle of friends
However once you enter the public arena and open a business, you are subject to all the rules and regulations. You may not like them, you may not agree with them....but you are still subject to them
And empty truism. Of course there are rules. We're discussing what they should be. Should government be used to squash unpopular opinions?
You are allowed any opinions you wish. You are also subject to ridicule because of them
As a business you are subject to ALL the rules. Fire codes, building codes, tax regulations, labor laws and even anti-discrimination laws.
"We don't serve n*ggers here" was an unpopular opinion and was squashed by the government. Same applys to gays
It was both, at various times. We got rid of the laws and policies. Then we went after the opinion itself.
No,no,you still haven't gotten rid of the opinion .......................
Of course not, but that's what they're trying to do. And now, it's not just racists. This is becoming a general approach to governing, and we need to turn it around.
