Seriously? I can refuse service to someone wearing a shirt of the rival to my favorite sports team. I can refuse if I don't like your shoes. I can refuse over your weight even though you included fat, it's not protected. I'm sure you can think of thousands of reasons yourself to discriminate that are all acceptable.

Robroy tried to explain property rights and got called racist for it. This should be obvious to anyone but UB that it's a principled argument fighting emotion.

Discrimination isn't necessarily wrong. Would you discriminate against a man who had attempted to rape and kill your wife, but had a good lawyer and got off? Or would you see that as wrong and treat him like one of the family?

Your post means that you don't fully understand the English language.

So the man who nearly raped your wife gets treated the same as everyone, even though he is different from everyone else in the fact that everyone else did not attempt to rape and kill your wife. You could put him in the 'rapist' category and others in the 'not a rapist' category, but you don't understand that I guess.

Thanks for the examples. weight can fall under disability. Never thought of someone being denied service due to t-shirt...but you are right...hmmmcrazy..unless its under a state law no law would be broken.
I don't agree with that but yeah if you want to deny service over shirts and type of shoes..then go for it.

Would you deny service to a NeoNazi with a T-Shiort that said "I hate Ni**ers" on it. Cuz that would be discrimination ya know?

they have the option to take that shirt off.

blacks in the south in the 1960s couldn;t exactly paint themselves white every time they needed a sandwich or gasoline.

calling him racist had more to do with his outright denial of the historical fact that refusing service to blacks caused much harm, his repeated labeling of the president by a racial slur, and his insistence that civil rights were not equality but rather "special rights" for black people.

by the way, did you notice how bignbushy and donalejandro both repeated your "racist food spitter" concern?

:lol:

it's the company you keep.
