    Trump's policies are the only proven method for reducing racism.

    if that were so, his poll numbers among Blacks and Hispanics would be a little better.

    Trump will get maybe 10% of black voters and 1% of Hispanic voters.

    Communities have passed laws, because they don't believe individuals should be able to divide the community along religious, race, or gender lines. Most communities don't care if you want to divide them along political ones. Ever heard of gerrymandering?

    (not saying they couldn't pass such a law, but then the local bar may have to start serving democrats)

    Discrimination is fundamentally wrong. That being said, I'm not sure they have a case; if it doesn't fall under the "protected categories" I don't think they have a legal case. The public however has the right not to patronize the restaurant if they so choose.

    No it's not. You discriminate every time you choose a checker at the grocery store, order chocolate instead of vanilla, or buy this girl a drink instead of that one.

    Some discrimination can had a divisive and destructive effect on a community. So we have laws that limit some practices. But discrimination itself is just choice. And not all choices are bad, even if they aren't the ones I would make.

    you can't discriminate against someone simply due to their race/color/religion/ethnicity.

    you CAN kick someone out due to their political views being advertised on their clothing.

    sorry, but that's the law

    Take it to the USSC. Get political parties on the protected class list.

    It would be illegal if someone can prove they weren't hired because of national origin. And not because the color of their clothes.

    So as long as the discrimination is legal you're good with it? These people were refused service for their beliefs. If they believed Trump was God then denying them service would be illegal, correct?

    Listen, I think any business should be allowed to do business with anyone they choose, but the double standard of the left on this is glaring. Imagine the noise we'd be hearing if the Mexican joint refused to serve the BLM terrorists.

    i have no problem with a private business owner having the right to refuse service to KKK, Neo-Nazis, Black Panthers or anyone who's political/social views they find distasteful.

    I notice that Rupert Murdoch's New York Post has adopted a policy of promoting stories like this, with or without facts.

    It's a tabloid,so they stay abreast of their customer's low information levels and tabloid expectations.

    Of course, the story is more dense than the Post leads its readers to believe, and the Post leaves out the crude vulgarity of the Trump supporters who attacked the restaurant owners over this story.'
    '
    But this has been typical of the behavior of Trump supporters throughout his campaign. The anonymous theats, the vulgarity, and the sucker punch.

    The owners tell a different story of the events, not surprisingly,.'

    oh, I see.

    so if we kick out all the blacks, Jews, Indians, Muslims, Asians, Hispanics, there will be less problems with racism huh?

    And the US will further deteriorate as it becomes diversified like the rest of the West.
