Why would you want a racist to perform your wedding if you're black?


That's not what's happening, or what's proposed in the hypothetical changing the gay couple for the interracial couple. A venue for a wedding was listed for rent. Publically. They try to rent the property, they were refused because they were gay. Given the recording nature, they were prepared to trap them in their discrimination, so obviously it was much more convoluted. The land owners weren't the ones performing the ceremony. They simply owned a farm meant to be rented foir weddings.

"free Market" Is that like where you take your business to an establishment that wants it? Where you find a business that wants to cater to your wishes? Seems like a great idea.

Why would a black person want to drink out of a whites only water fountain?

It was a ridiculous hypothetical. It still doesn't change the answer.


Well, you are the authority on ridiculous, after all.

So you are just going to ignore everything I've stated, huh? That's disappointing.

I'm not ignoring it, I'm just disagreeing based upon my belief in private property rights. Surely I'm within my constitutional rights to disagree with you, am I not?

Disagreeing with me about what exactly? You repeatedly told me to stop comparing being black with choosing to get married, a complete mischaracterization of the events being discussed, and then boom... flat out refusal to respond to any clarifications. And as it comes to person property rights, I also agree with them, but personal property is not the issue at hand, as I have so clearly stated. Commerce is.

So are you just going to say "private property rights" and be done with it? Just curious. If you don't like where this conversation is going because you sense that it exposes your own ignorance in to personal property rights that's fine. No judgement. You just seemed so adamant, I figured you had some sort of idea the difference between commerce and no commerce.

When all else fails, compare blacks to gays.

When I answer a hypothetical and then you revert to the current actual situation, it doesn't change the hypothetical.

Why is one class of people being discriminated against different than another?

Pretty sure the lesbos won the case. So the gay haters actually failed.

Yes, I would be breeding strictly heterosexual cattle on my property.

Are you going to call the feds?

They're not. There was a convenience store off of Nations Ford road in Charlotte that wouldn't serve white folk. I know because I tried to buy a soda there. Guess what I didn't do? Sue. Guess what I did do? Go to a different fricking convenience store.

Refresh my memory, what are you referring to? What hypothetical did you answer, what did I change it to, and how did I imply it changed the hypothetical?

I've stated that the couple broke NY anti discrimination laws. I've also stated that the law is stupid because the property owners should have the right to refuse service if said service conflicts with their personal and constitutionally protected religious beliefs.


You're the one who kept bringing up civil rights violations against blacks that occurred 50 years ago.


Lemme guess, you would also support government forcing churches to perform gay marriage ceremonies?
