First of all, I'm not sure why you're bringing any of this up as it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the discussion we're having. It just seems weird and out of place. I tried going to blackmingle.com and it didn't work. But if it does exist, why would it matter? Anyone can create any website they want to--it's not a reflection of anything in particular. I can go make "white people are the devil dot com" and people could bring it up doing an argument about race, but would it really mean anything? No. As for the NAACP and BAC, what do you not understand? African Americans are a minority that has been crapped on by the majority for hundreds of years. Both organizations formed decades ago when virtually every other political organization was exclusively comprised of white people and primarily represented the interests of white people. There was no place for African Americans in most institutions in the US, so they made their own. I'm honestly bewildered... what point are you trying to make? How does it relate to Fayetteville's anti-discrimination ordinance?
Probably not the best time to air my thoughts on different races seemingly to now expect reparations or preferential treatment, regardless of the past.
But if every single person did the following, we would not have an issue, nor need legislation.
Treat others the way you want to be treated, love your neighbors as yourself.
End of rant for me... I am only in Fayetteville on game days!

It seems that lots of local Christians have a problem with this one. Regardless of the shortcomings of the ordinance, I don't understand the idea that doing business with a gay person "compromises one's faith". I do business with hindus, Muslims, Christians, gays, lesbos, crackheads, alcoholics, adulterers, etc all damn day long.
It is part of living in a multicultural society. And how the hell does selling someone a rainbow cake "endorse their lifestyle" any more than selling a Star of David cake is an endorsement of Judaism?
Hilariously, most modern evangelicals would have no problem with a Star of David cake, even though it isn't their religion, and modern Judaism stands in opposition to their religion. Ignorance is powerful.

It's easy to point out what people should do, and the way things should be, but what's far more important than that, and unfortunately far more difficult, is to find practical, working solutions for these problems. (this part not necessarily addressed to Rev: Sometimes the solution requires legislation, which is why overly zealous libertarianism is flawed.)
