What is this, 1999? Get out of the stone ages, boomer. You can identify as whatever you want today. Rachel Dolezal is white as can be and she was president of her chapter of the NAACP.



The adults are trying to have a serious conversation about what constitutes discrimination,Scooter. Go play in the street.

We do not support white supremacy, racism, xenophobia, sexism, transphobia or homophobia in our store. We prioritize the comfort of our queer, trans, and intersex shoppers, as well as black folks, people of color, and femmes. We ask that you are respectful of all our customers and the cultures and identities that are represented in our merchandise.


I haven't been there but obviously their clientele is this group of whatever the hell they are (a femme?), they won't have a problem with doing shite like this. I doubt a bunch of Roys are going to try and drop in to buy some duck boots

It is. I never once supported the idea that the baker should be forced to make that cake.


In turn, you would be ok with charging black folks more for cars, more for food, and place other barriers to their utilizing a business?

That’s absolutely discrimination.
Some dumb White people will pay it anyway.

I live in the real world, so I don't have those ideological luxuries (and neither do business owners).

I think anyone should be able to do what they want with their business, but the government picks and chooses when and where they want to apply those principals and it has serious repercussions for business owners


You aren’t wrong, but it doesn’t mean you have to tuck tail and run.

Good for them. It’s a private business. They should be allowed to run their business how they want and the public should be allowed to decide if they want to spend their money there or not


Yeah, we know if the opposite were happening they'd be cancelled, on CNN and the View and raked through the coals.

the store posted they’re charging a $20 refundable appointment fee for customers wanting to reserve a spot to come to the store and shop. The store also said they’re waving that fee for black and indigenous customers, as well as other people of color


It obviously violates federal discrimination requirements but I say pay them. In confederate currency

All about turning away business of a group of people you don't like. No matter the reason. Religious, bigoted, ignorant, or what ever your reason. If you outright refuse to serve, or place barriers to utilizing services it is all the same.

Dude's probably been once and ran into a Karen at a restaurant.

I've been multiple times over the past few years and the only problem I've had was not knowing my limit and having too many Call A Cabs
