Quote:Rather than force consumers to make the decision to get rid of bigots over the long haul by not shopping at their businesses, incurring hundreds of hours of more research, it's more efficient to simply outlaw bigotry in the workplace.What does it matter to you how much a bigot has to research to find a white only product?
Plus I'm sure as per the brand fubu, race exclusive products would advertize their racialy pure product. (Which BTW FUBU is made in china not where ever "us" is from.)
(For those who don't know FUBU was short for 'For Us By Us' it was supposed to be a black own operated and manufactured product.. This was one of the items that I was thinking of when i thought of this topic.)
Quote:What if a company refused to hire Christians? You'd be shitting bricks sideways crying about discrimination.No I'd start my own business... That's the thing for every dollar a bigot has and wants to spend there is another not tied to a bigot who is willing to buy a similar product.
Quote:So what happened? Did a black guy apply for work at your business?I'm just wondering what would happen if goverment let people do what they wanted and let the cream automatically rise and the waste fall.. If that would not solve our problems. Granted it didn't 100 years ago when the man owned everything, but now I think we have an eccletic base that could both serve the biggots and the rest alike. so why not let 'evolution' decide what is fit for humanity and what is not. Our philosiphical approach is obviously not working. It only leads to more govermental oversight.

Im speaking of personal experience so i don't have a bunch a numbers to back anything up but I'm sure they are out there.
In South Korea in the larger cities they live as we do in the west (more or less) all of the traditions that made korea unique have been chased out of city life as being 'the old way' or grandma's way of doing things. all the old traditions are frowned upon and alot has been forgotten by my generation and younger. why? because in western culture the need to accomidate everyone, and not offend anyone has turned everything unique and 'different' into one single flavor of vanilla suitible for all to live in a common space and not offend anyone.
Here is a trivial example: In korea we all use o take our shoes off before entering any indoor area, and either walk barefooted or we brought inside shoes. Why? because koreans ate, slept, sat, and cooked on the floor so the floor had to be super clean all the time.
But over here
White people (and black people) tend to have nasty feet so they feel uncomfortable taking their shoes off in a non private setting. so to accomidate the one who would feel the greatest level of discomfort, a traditional practice is lost in a single generation.
We can't have it both ways. Some one is going to feel left out or the odd man out, because they are not apart or can not be apart of the group.
Which to me is ok, I do not understand the need to include everyone all the time.
