I think it is OK to refuse doing business with someone. Forcing to serve a customer only because she/he is a minority means free enterprise in America is dead. Political correctness swallowed it. As it swallowed many other advantages America had. Look at racial quotas in the US universities for instance. It is hardest to get in if you are Japanese or white. Much easier if you are Indian or black. Isn't this pure racial discrimination? Or another example of killing free enterprise: if your company does not employ certain percentage of minorities you cannot get government contract. I as an owner of company would like to hire the best, right? Nope, you need to make sure you hire people of correct color.
I could carry on for long time, but I've got the feeling nobody wants to read it in this thread, everybody is so politically correct ...

Just so that I get it: You would be fine with a business that only serves white customers? Forcing them to serve people of color should not be allowed in the name of free enterprise?

It is a shame that the only people who benefit from illegal or somewhat legal Mexican labor is the smaller business owners and wealthy who employ them at less than living wages.

I've never seen any country that had great social values that was also a Muslin run country. Turkey and Egypt and Jordan may be progressive but you can't live like you can in the EU or North America. If you don't believe that they would take over the US and strip everyone of their rights you are an idiot.

You might want to look at the history of the immigration laws of the United States. Initially, as long as you could walk and weren't sick, you were admitted.

As the immigrant stream became less white/northern European, the immigration laws became more restrictive. The first significant restriction on immigration was bluntly entitled "The Chinese Exclusion Act."

To put it bluntly, the history of America's immigration restrictions is a study in legislating racism.

Wikipedia has a pretty good article that, in summarizing the history, also summarizes the racism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor..._United_States

I think I'll remove this post and keep the one under it.

Emerson, you are hilarious. These are two consecutive posts that you made within half an hour of each other. The sheer obviousness of the double standard is something that I find very entertaining.

Trump is evil and a moron.

Every week, he alienates another group of people.

As an American, it is embarrassing to me that his poll numbers are so high.

But come election time, I do not think he will do so well.

People who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths are spoil snobs with their noses held high. Trump wouldn't last an hour doing an average man's day's work.

You are right.

Hypocrisy is the contrivance of a false appearance of virtue or goodness, while concealing real character or inclinations, esp. with respect to religious and moral beliefs; hence in general sense, dissimulation, pretense, sham. It is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another. In moral psychology, it is the failure to follow ones own expressed moral rules and principles.-Wikipedia

Throughout human history the facade of " equal treatment " is presented; but in fact " never is "!! Is it " Justice " or is it " Just For Us "!! Hatred and bigotry rules our species; denying it does not make it go away!! Trump's popularity is due to his hatred and bigotry being overtly displayed 24/7!! What you see is what you get!! A President Trump is not only possible; it might be inevitable!!

While I totally agree with you I find it kind of fascinating that his poll numbers are so high, especially when you see him promoting unconstitutional policies and then realize that the majority of his supporters seems to be of the kind that is waving the US flag all the time and constantly complaining about how "libtards" try to take away their constitutional rights of free speech and bearing arms.

British reactions to Trump are great fun:
The university which gave him an honorary degree (WTF?!) has withdrawn it.
The Mayor of London says he'd avoid going to some parts of NY in case he encountered Trump.
The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police has said his family are now using the word "trump" for a fart.
A national petition has collected enough signatures to force a debate in Parliament on adding Trump to the list of persons banned from entering the UK for being racists.

. . . all of which means that the man is being extremely effective. (Which is exactly what that sort of man knows how to do, at least in the world of high-dollar real estate.)

The basic problem for the US political apparatchik is that no one (else ...) is offering any sort of alternative to: "inevitably, eight more years of the same damn status quo."

Now, the Democratic Party, Inc. Two-Party System, Inc. has a business to run, so they won't allow him to have the nomination. But they are definitely using him to build up brand-name affinity for their Blue Brand.™ (Which, of course, is just a blue (vs. red) box around: "inevitably, eight more years of the same damn status quo.")

Although the Unites States holds elections for President most voters do not take into account that " the Washington, D.C. entrenched establishment " wants things done their way " or else you will get what Kennedy got "!! If Bernie Sanders wins the democratic nomination and then the Presidency he will probably be gotten rid of pretty quickly!! http://fff.org/2015/12/10/would-the-...-be-president/

Donald Trump, on the other hand, would probably spend his first 100 days of his Presidency eliminating everything he did not like; stating with the constitution!! He would probably get rid of federal courts, congress, and all privacy!! This would become " Trumpland " and everything would be done his way; or else!!
