Oh I love the classic loaded morality test scenario

Exactly.

“They aren’t talking to anyone and there aren’t any actual white supremacista anymore, but if you don’t support the message that is against something that doesn’t exist, then you support the position that doesn’t exist.”

Progressives are hilarious.

One of the larger (but by far not the only) white supremacist forum has over 325,000 members and 13 million posts on a million threads. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it is not there.

No, you dimwit.

I like good hamburgers.

Grow up and realize that there are good people who may disagree with you and eat delicious hamburgers.

It's like some restaurant rebuking terrorism out of the blue, then when people start saying "WTF", you come out and say, "You're either against the killing of innocent women and children or you're not".

To be fair, Trump supporters don't do themselves any favors when they read this:

and say, "well, they're obviously talking about me."

I bet you are the kind of person who still believes the KKK is a legitimate threat, despite the fact that their “rallies” couldn’t fill a short bus.

That's 0.095% of the population. That's virtually a zero.

To be fair, they’ve spent the last year calling anyone who doesn’t match lockstep with their agenda Nazis and White supremacists.

Voted republican? NAZI!
Don’t hate Trump? NAZI!


So they kind of did it to themselves.

I get that, but you can't just give in to it. Go in and eat at this place. If they refuse service because you've got a MAGA hat on your head, then you've made your point.

It’s a good burger that’s been consistent for a few years now. Top three in nola, IMO.

Wait, are you saying that a website that can be seen and used by every person on the planet has 325,000 members?!?!?!?



That would be 0.1% if it was only the USA or 0.004% of the global population.

So, they are lecturing to a group of maybe 384 people in New Orleans?

Hey, that statistically might be true, but do you have any experience running a restaurant. They are basically magnets for Nazi's and skin-heads. You don't get out in front of it, you look like you are inviting them in.

Take a look at Cracker Barrel. You think that names a coincidence? It's a subtle way of saying, "you are welcome here KKK". Don't want to be lumped in with that type of hate restaurant. Get the word out soon that you won't tolerate it.

I don’t live in NOLA and don’t really like traveling there. But I love a good burger and I would still eat at this place.

However, i’m Definitely going to point out their hypocrisy in regards to serving people who you don’t agree with.

That must be the dog whistle that Obtuse was referring to earlier.

Not depriving myself. When I want to chow down on a burger, I want a good one.

That's fair. I don't like unsolicited statements one way or the other.
