Нету лучше тех сказок

[chasovschik]

Отделение Black Lives Matter в Нэшвилле проводило свои собрания в библиотеке.
Кто-то из посетителей обратил внимание администрации библиотеки, что на эти собрания запрещен доступ белым – правила у BLM такие.
Библиотека проинформировала BLM, что это противоречит библиотечным правилам – там запрещена любая сегрегация и прочий расизм. Потому что public property.
Борцы с расизмом свои правила менять отказались, и перенесли собрания в какую-то церковь.

После чего привычно сообщили городу и миру, что их угнетают и что white supremacy не дает им собираться в библиотеке.

И это все даже не анекдот.

"however that place, any business, is not in a vacuum. it relies on town, to whom it pays, for trash removal, water, heat"... LOL, reminds me Obama's phrase 'you didn't build it!" :)) Sorry, Molly, couldn't help but notice :))))

:-) hey, even takinet is occasionally right, why can't obama be too? i mean, loshadi really vpadaiut v kaspijskoe more.

there is a gray line here. or rather a gray field. there are two interesting points particularly.

1) could a completely stand-alone operation (on its own land and owning its utilities and gettign zero handouts from teh government) - can they discriminate?

to me the answer is - yes, they can.

2) could that bakery be left alone rather than targeted, or rather should the municipality /state who give out licenses refuse to hand out a license unless there was a statement of on discrimination on the part of the business owner?

i think this is for the individual local governments to decide...

Not to take sides on the discrimination issue, but no operation is completely stand-alone - even in an unincorporated area, it might be paying property taxes for fire and emergency services; being a business, it is presumably contributing from and benefitting from national defense and entitlements via federal taxes.

That's why sea-steading was discussed by libertarians at some point, IMHO.

and i want to remind you of a case maybe ?? 3 y ago? 4? in GB. a B&B refused services to a gay couple. apologized, returned the deposit, etc. the men went elsewhere, but there was no american-style media autodafe of the owner of the B&B. she was simply blacklisted on gay vacations site where the couple recalled their experiences.

so, the english, while PC, enough to blacklist trump, are not PC enough to prosecute on small cases like that.

i wonder what that says about us and about them.
