Restaurant Owner Wants The Right To Refuse Service

[Borillar]

And this is a restaurant for straight whites

Does he give white people a questionnaire when they come in to be sure they are of the correct ethnicity, religion, political viewpoint, sexual orientation, etc? Does he care about left handedness? Nearsightedness? Blood type? Eye color? Hair color? Height? Weight?

Does the Miss black America pageant?

Don't see anything in their application that says you have to be black to enter, so knock yourself out and apply.

This guy is really exclusive. Most restaurants simply want hungry paying customers. Do you think he would make an exception for Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice, Mary Cheney, or the 999 guy? Would they have to enter through the back door?

 

[Asclepias]

They also dont discriminate.

 

[Tank]

In a true free society this man would be able to exercise his freedom of association, but we have not lived in such a place for a century.

And that doesn't say whether this man's opinions are right or wrong by my standards or anyone else's standards, the point is, they are his standards and to think government would disallow said is beyond reproach, it's patently un-American.

Doesn't anyone see the obvious slippery slope here? It wouldn't be a free society at all if we allowed business owners to discriminate. It would be a society full of restrictions wherever you go. Business owners would be able to prohibit whoever they felt like. You'd walk down the street and a cafe would prohibit people of color, another shop would prohibit Asians, another would prohibit the elderly, another prohibit handicapped people, another children, another whites, etc. And on and on it would go. Who would want to live in a place like that? Freedom would be the last concept one would recognize in such an environment.

So open your own restaurant, and don't tell other what to do with theirs

The name of Americas presidential residence is the white house. Black guy is currently kicking his feet up and calling it home.

 

[Tank]

Thats because the house is painted white

My house is painted green and my neighbors refer to it as the green house.

I'm not green

I just skimmed through it. Maybe you can find the part where it says you have to be black or part black.

So what's the name of his restaurant? I can just picture the sign: Joe Bob's House of Good Eats - Eat here or I'll kill you. *No *******, spics, fags, Jews, or Irish allowed.

Recycling bins don't count as a house. White Castles do not serve white burgers.

If a man wants to be so stupid, he should be free too.

question
what if this man ran a church
cant you preach even if your religious beliefs only include straight white folks?
if so, maybe he's in the wrong business
if he ran a fellowship hall for fellow believers
he could serve food privately just to them
probably make more money running a church anyway!

p.s. as for his current business set up, since the laws are what they are
until they change, he has freedom of speech to explain his beliefs andh
ask people to respect them, even though the law requires him to serve
all people without discrimination. so if people respect free speech, freedom of religion,
right to assembly peacefully and securely, they might honor his wishes to only serve certain people.
if he is doing this to be ugly and/or make a statement against certain groups, he can only expect the same level of response likewise to make a statement against him.
but if it is truly his beliefs and he is honest about them, why not respect the man's wishes?

Really

ha ha wouldn't that be a trip
if i applied to enter as an asian american
but argued all people are descendants from africa and have some black heritage

(of course i'd have to sue first
for age discrimination since i'm 47....)

 

[NoNukes]

The better question to ask is WHY would blacks, hispanics, gays and the disabled want to patronize his business?

To **** with this asshole.

 

[Politico]

He doesn't need permission.

 

[Statistikhengst]

I'd like to eat there

I bet you would. You would fit right in there.

 

[Mad_Cabbie]

I don't care if people want to be racist - I have a huge problem with discrimination, though.

 

[jillian]

I wouldn't eat there because I can't stand bigoted assholes.

that's the reason most wouldn't go there.

what does tell you a lot is who WOULD go there.

now THAT speaks volumes.

 

[jillian]

I know white only apartments would be very successful

it would depend on where. in the places affected by the striking down of jim crow laws, no doubt they'd be successful.

which is why the supreme court told them all to stick it in the first place.
