Are you seriously this fucking ignorant, or simply a racist!? WTF do you think has happened in this country throughout its existence? Do you seriously think that people of color are equal in this country today? Why do you think Repubes are STILL suppressing the black vote, every chance they get? :confused:

I think you are ignorant to the double standard (actually you just ignore it). You know exactly what I'm talking about and what would happen if it was switched. Yes people of color are equal today.

Soon the dominate, majority voting block in this country will be nonwhite. When this happens and it will, better hope the new majority treats the minority better then they were.

It IS reversed! This thing, if even true, and who knows about that, is reverse discrimination. And according to the Blaze, white people are going crazy about it. Find it hyper outrageous. Feel sorely aggrieved.

You, who are unaware that black people get plenty of this shit and have always pretty much had to take it, on pain of job loss, or false arrest leading to imprisonment, or ambush and beating or worse--you partake of this outrage. Whether it happened or not, you are being played.

The blaze isn't the place I heard it from it's just the article I posted since it had the original news story in it also.

Here's a serious question. Should any business be able to decide who to serve, how much it costs and what they provide based on the customer? Examples color, religion, sexual preference?

Disparity in home lending costs minorities millions, researchers find

A recent analysis of nearly 7 million 30-year mortgages by University of California at Berkeley researchers found that black and Latino applicants were charged higher interest — an average of nearly 0.08% — and heavier refinance fees when compared with white borrowers.

Minorities pay more to bank than whites

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/minor...161950159.html

Quote:

In its survey of over 2,600 adults, Bankrate found that white checking-account holders said they paid just $5 a month in bank fees. Those numbers more than double for black and Hispanic account holders.

Hispanics pay $16 a month in banking fees, while black customers paid $12 a month, Bankrate found. Those who identified as another race also paid more, at $8 a month for banking services.

Minority Neighborhoods Pay Higher Car Insurance Premiums Than White Areas With the Same Risk

Our analysis of premiums and payouts in California, Illinois, Texas and Missouri shows that some major insurers charge minority neighborhoods as much as 30 percent more than other areas with similar accident costs.

Minority Americans Lag Behind Whites On Nearly Every Measure Of Health Care Quality

https://www.commonwealthfund.org/pre...h-care-quality

Quote:

A new survey by The Commonwealth Fund reveals that on a wide range of health care quality measures—including effective patient–physician communication, overcoming cultural and linguistic barriers, and access to health care and insurance coverage—minority Americans do not fare as well as whites. African Americans, Asian Americans, and Hispanics are more likely than whites to experience difficulty communicating with their physician, to feel that they are treated with disrespect when receiving health care, to experience barriers to access to care such as lack of insurance or not having a regular doctor, and to feel they would receive better care if they were of a different race or ethnicity.

You still didn't answer my question. Wasnt asking for a bunch of articles to be posted about how you think im wrong.

What do YOU believe about business deciding who to serve, just your opinion alone.

I think businesses, especially large ones, have way more power and discretion than they should. I'd favor regulation that would require vetting of many decisions with large public impact, like investment in plant and machinery, closing of plants, Etc. I think our law has been shaped by owners and we think it's good and right that they should have all kinds of Power, but it's not written on stone tablets anywhere we are free to change the order of things if we think it's a good idea.

So no I don't think it's outlandish if there are some limits on business discretion in customer service. If someone makes it clear that they want to discriminate in public accommodations, there should be a way to challenge that. And in fact there is.

Regardless of the source, poster or publication, the article is at our zeitgeist's cutting edge. Are you claiming the article is fiction, grossly inaccurate, misleading ... ?

I do not know the accuracy of the article. I certainly don't assume it's 100% accurate, not do I assume it's 100% false. If you are interested you might try to research the matter further.

Often with such Internet outrage fodder, liberties are taken with details to make the story 'better.'

Segregated parks linked to higher COVID-19 deaths for Black and Latino Americans

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...es/3291907001/

Quote:

Nationwide, parks serving primarily nonwhite populations are half the size of parks serving majority white populations, and are five times more crowded, the report found. And parks serving majority low-income households are, on average, four times smaller and four times more crowded than parks serving wealthy neighborhoods.
White privilege is everywhere. My daily walk (on hold currently due to horrific air quality thanks to the fires) is 5 miles each direction. Almost the entire route is along city-provided parkways, ending at a large city aquatics center with wide walkways all around it.

Waggs refuses to admit that white privilege exists. I see it every day. There's absolutely no doubt about it.

Are you saying the area you walk is populated by white people only and a person of color can't move into that area?

Trump leans into off-the-wall race-baiting in remarks about American suburbs as Biden's electoral fortunes rise

https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...suburbs-2020-8

Quote:

In a press conference on Wednesday, the president* railed against fair-housing regulations, labeling such a policy an "invasion" in the American suburbs, and saying this "invasion" would happen if Biden and newly-selected running mate Kamala Harris were elected.

"They're going to destroy suburbia. And just so you understand, 30+% of people living in suburbia are minorities — African American, Asian American, Hispanic American," Trump said during the press conference. "The number's even higher; they say 35, but I like to cut it a little lower."

"When they go in and they want to change zoning so that you have lots of problems or they want to build low-income housing, you want something where people kind of aspire to be there, not something where it gets hurt badly," he continued. "They fought all their lives to be there and then all of a sudden, they have something happen that changes their life and changes what they fought for, for so many years."
You and your Dear Leader are racist as can be.

They were created, on purpose, by government and private action. Watch and be amazed.

Yep. An excellent summary of federally-mandated racism throughout our history, and its consequences today. A great resource for Waggs and his ilk, who simply refuse to read.
