A white supremacist rally? Well, yeah. Why would any non-racist go to a Spencer rally? The only thing he talks about is making America 100% white

What's funny is the people downvoting you. The dude walked into Auburn University and said that they have done too much to have a diverse campus. Then he mentioned how the football team was "too black" and thats when people were like....

Any idiot can see that the US is balkanizing along racial lines. Identitarian groups like these are only going to continue to grow in numbers and influence.

Anybody who goes to a rally is a white supremacist now?


Are you trying to pick and choose who can and can't be discriminated against?

Because it sounds like it.

You can go to rallies you're not affiliated with to educate yourself.

You certainly can. But this topic seems pretty cut and dry. Especially when it comes to the statements made by the NSM & TLOTS.

The conservative in me says that sucks, but it's their right to deny service to whomever.


So in that case, bakers have the right to refuse to make a cake for tgays?

How is it ok for AirBNB to refuse service to these people, yet it's a 'travesty beyond proportion' for a Christian bakery to refuse to bake a cake based on their beliefs? This country has gone in the shitter.

Haven't gotten an answer to this one yet from the apologists.

ETA: but I'm sure it will be spun as "HOW DARE YOU SUPPORT WHITE SUPREMACY YOU BIGOT!"

To have a company label someone as an undesirable, based on a 'routine review' of their AirBnB account, is a slippery slope.

Lol, all I said was that I'd be happy if AirBnB prevented me from having to deal with white supremacists or any radical group. I personally think it's the company's right to deny service in both cases; however since litigation was brought against the bakery, then it should be just as valid for AirBnB.

Most every "conservative" in this thread has said while they don't like a "left" company doing it, they still feel a private business should be able to do that.

Good job reading though.

Don't know or care who that is.

If a lot has changed, give me a quote where he refers to himself as a white supremacist....

I'm fine with it, but I expect them to deny BLM members as well.

I was fine with it...then it was ruled unconstitutional and that it was discrimination. Why can airbnb discriminate, but cake bakers can't?

If they were attending a black panther or radical Islamic rally, I wouldn't hang out with those folks either. If you're going to a Spencer rally, you know what you're getting into. His videos are everywhere

I don't know who he is. I'm kind of interested to see what AirBnB would do if I got a place up there for this.

To be fair I look like a white supremacist.
