The bakery and restaurant examples are nothing alike.

The baker denied service for the custom message cake but offered to sell any of the premade cakes.

The restaurant didn't want to serve that specific person, and it wasn't because he asked for a dish not in the menu.


I still don't understand why the baker was at fault, honestly. You need to do some mental gymnastics to equate it to homophobia or anything like that, really.

There was not going to be a message on the cake. It was just going to be a custom cake. The baker felt that having one of his precious works of art in a sodomite wedding would be message enough.

It's a lose-lose situation. In a private business you should be allowed to refuse service, with the only real effect being getting bad reviews for it. if you're an asshole to enough people you'll throw your own business under the bus.

Or not; since your "private business" isn't really private, and is open to the public and licensed by the municipality that public pays taxes too.

"Private Business" including quotation marks would be a great name for a HBO show about a businessman who decides to become a male stripper after the 2008 financial crisis.

Right, so either you're private and have the right to refuse to bake cakes/serve specific people you don't like, or you're public and you don't have the right to do those things

"a company that is not owned by the government:"

being open to the public would be the interaction method, doesn't change how private the business is. You should still be able to deny business without specifying reasons. We're in a day and age where you can find commodities like a bakery on a fairly common basis. Same with restaurants. MAking a big fuss over something that is actually a non-issue (as in, the impact it can have on people's life is nearly meaningless). Now if they said: I don't want to sell this available item to you because you're gay... that I have a problem with. When I use deny a service I mean deny doing something explicitly for that client because it can negatively impact your or your business.

I understand, for example, the muslim woman from target that didn't sell alcohol based on her faith. She explicitly told her employers, and a bad time schedule had her in the awkward situation of having to deny service to a client. And since her employers knew and hired her, she was right to abide by her religious beliefs, considering that not selling an alcoholic beverage shouldn't ruin anyone's day. And neither should being denied service at a bakery. Now if it was a situation where the baker accepted the request then cancelled it, we would be in another context altogether. But yeah, I just don't see how denying a service from the start can become such a burden. Same with the restaurant thing. We don't like the shit you spout, and we certainly don't want you pissing off other customers or giving a bad impression of our business. So we reserve the right of admission. buh-bye.

Or how one employee refusing to do something even relates at all, whatsoever.

Sorry? It's the same, refusing to serve based on religious belief. Not to mention that one is simply cashing in a whisky bottle and the other one is an elaborate professional project where you have to directly participate.

Except the business didn't deny them service, they have more than one register person.

Not remotely "the same."

Imagine having to queue up again for another cashier because barcode didn't fit the muslim woman criteria. Now imagine defending it while you think denial of service shouldn't be a thing. Goddamn, lol.


The fun thing is that right of admission is an unspoken rule that doesn't seem to gravitate towards legal trouble, despite being a right of denial of service. based on stuff like... dress code. Which is a classist move that discriminates in itself. But we know where people can make big bucks and why they stir the pot. You know it, I know it... everyone knows it.

And again, if it was along the lines of "didn't serve my available stock because I don't want to sell it to a gay person", i'd be totally in for heavy fines. Because that's not denial of service with good reason, since the only reason possible would be direct discrimination.

I mean yeah I mean if you object to them being in your restaraunt you can still glower at them or whatever. Just because you're legally obligated to provide a service doesn't mean you have to make them feel welcome.

Like how black people were treated in post-segregation America..

I didn't defend anything; the fuck?

I simply said it doesn't relate.  A business owner gets a license and has to abide by the rules; an individual employee is just an employee.  The business has to make sure the laws are abided by but it's up to them to allow individual employees to do certain things.

Also doesn't relate because being able to buy alcohol isn't a protected class like being gay is in Portland.  Godamn, l,ol.

That's true, the employee-employer thing is relevant in this case and it flew over my head. I'm drunk. bye xD

Well first you have the low level posters. I'm talking your etiolate's, assimilate's and the like. These are my little kids (not to be confused with my little babies like marrec who still arn't fully grown). Then you've got my brothers and siblings. I'm talking your Momo's and your TVC'S and your kris's. Next you got your dads like Mupepe and riotous and Joe, dads who will always love you and take care of u. Not to be confused with an uncle, someone like filler, he seems like a dad, but he doesn't have those dadly instincts and you don't really know him that well. Then you got your g-dads, Rumbler and Demi. They been through some wars in their day but you're still the apple of their eye and bring tears of joy to their wrinkled faces.

In theory sure, but in reality it doesn't always work out that way, the market doesn't end up being a natural correction for discrimination, often times it actually ends up re-enforcing it see: the segregated businesses of the south or red-lining.

So to address that you get laws like the Civil Rights Act that made it illegal to discriminate or deny service based on gender, race, or nationality. I'm personally in the camp that sexuality should be in that number, see the Colorado bakery nonsense.

But yeah, if you want to tell me to kick rocks because you found out I'm pro-choice and pro gun control, sure, go for it, political speech isn't a protected class and there doesn't seem to be an apparent need for it.

The trans-girls you've seen have monster dicks because you've been watching transwomen porn.

Before Cindi turned Republican she mentioned something about the hormones made it so your dick doesn’t work quite right sexually, and that trans porn performers were probably going on and off hormones to be able to perform.

They really have it in for centrists. There is a real lack of understanding of what the aims of centrists actually are, I notice. They seem to think they advocate for the far-right and far-left having equal representation at the negotiating table, when in reality it is an appeal for the middle with the hope that the far-left and far-right don't fuck things up too much.

There is something kind of boring and safe about centrism. I don't like the way it kind of waters down real political choice. I want to see parties that actually stand for something. That said, you have to be kind of nuts to see them aand refer to them in the same light as Nazis.

Netflix comms boss Jonathan Friedland sacked over 'N-word'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-44585072

Reading this article I came to this part:

Quote
Mr Hastings detailed two instances when Mr Friedland was said to have used the offensive term.

The first incident was at a meeting with the public relations team to discuss sensitive words.

“Several people afterwards told him how inappropriate and hurtful his use of the N-word was, and Jonathan apologised to those that had been in the meeting,” Mr Hastings wrote.

“We hoped this was an awful anomaly never to be repeated.”

The first thing I thought was, "am I reading this right?". They have a public relations meeting where they discuss sensitive words and the comms boss brings up the N-word. Well, if you are discussing sensitive words you'd imagine that is the place to bring it up. And they obviously ascertained exactly how sensitive the word is.

I just... No words.

There was another dumb article I came across recently.

Reading this article I came to this part:

That's wild. I wonder what the repercussions of all this craziness will be. There will be something, i just don't know what will manifest out of all this.

What was the context?
"You should never say the word "distinguished black fellow" like our show, Dear White People demonstrates." 
 
or was it

"You should never say the word "distinguished black fellow".  distinguished black fellow is a bad word to say.  distinguished black fellow, distinguished black fellow, distinguished black fellow.  distinguished black fellow me this.  distinguished black fellow me that.  Like our show Dear White People demonstrates"

He could have censored himself, but then it seems the context of him saying it was just to discuss how to handle sensitive words like, like... the N-word. It just seems a little absurd to me. Although, I don't know what happened in the meeting. It seems unlikely he just waltzed into a meeting about sensitive words shouting, "nicca! LOL" at everyone though.

Personally I think context matters.

Well he said it twice it seems. The funny thing is though, the second time he said it was in discussion with HR about what happened. So he was basically explaining whaat happened in the meeting.

"Well, we were discussing sensitive words, and I brought up 'nicca'"

lol

A few days later, in discussion with HR about the incident, he used the term again in front of two black employees, Mr Hastings said.

Based on the official statement given, there is no suggestion of racism. Instead it mentions 'low racial awarness' and 'sensitivity'.
