if it only hurt feelings, that's one thing. but it does more than that. it causes demonstrable harm to the discriminated parties.
well, the SCOTUS thought so at least. which is why they upheld title II.
but who needs that pesky constitution, eh? who says your right to swing your fist has to end at my face?
not selling to somebody is NOT racism,, nor does it cause harm. the US does not trade with cuba, does this practice somehow harm cuba? if so, then why is mexico, with whom we do trade, complaining about how much harm trade with the US is causing them?
the very nature of free markets is the VOLUNTARY nature of the market and deciding who you will or will not do business with based on your OWN reasons, not those of that "Inelecteble group of people" who you alternately despise and lionize depending on whether you like their latest assault on our constitution or not.
we also do not trade with iran, does this mean iran is our victim because we dont buy their dates and oil and sell them iPhones and pornography? of course it's racist, but everything is racist, but why praytrell is BHO allowed to be racist against other nations, yet we as persons and citizens are not permitted to have unpopular thoughts?
youre still engaged in the left's favorite game, Pin the Tail on the Hypocrisy.
number one, you're giving racism a platform. you're legitimizing racism by giving it a platform. we don't need to legitimize racism. we don't need to encourage a practice which causes harm to others.
so unpopular ideas should be purged from our minds, and we should all share a single common ideology... who chooses that permissible ideology? who examines the thoughts of every person to ensure that no impure ideas enter the minds of the proletariat? perhaps if there were some sort of camp, where those who hold impure ideas could be re-educated.... someplace far from the population at large, someplace where these impure ideas will not have a chance to spread. perhaps some kind of Gulag-like institution... yeah that sounds good.
number two, see part one of this reply. allowing private businesses that are supposedly 'open to the public' to block out sections of the public based on arbitrary skin color or nationality causes harm to others. it's unconstitutional.
i can't for the life of me figure out why so many people stick up for racism and unconstitutional practices while preaching to me about the constitution and freedom and liberty.
it's pretty clear that it makes us less free when we have to cater to the bigotry of racists.
but suppressing any ideas or thoughts which you find offensive will make us so much more free.
9 out of 10 Secret Policemen agree, gulags and public stonings have a salutary effect on the public's submission to the wisdom of the Dear Leader, Great Imam, Pope, Party, Big Brother, Der Fuhrer, Il Duce, Comrade Stalin, Uncle Mao etc.
