Other than the 1488 crowd wanting to be able to say ‘no blacks allowed’ in certain businesses, I’m genuinely curious what else is in there that should make it get repealed?
I personally would like it not repealed mainly because I would be personally affected by said policy obviously, but I’m curious in the reasons outside of just that, if y’all have reasons other than that, as AFAIK, the CRA violates freedom of assembly in the view of people who have that opinion.
How so? Do you think all the White business owners around you are rabid racists and only let you in their stores because it's the law?
And you still want to give them money?
You don't think there are any other businesses around that would gladly cater to you for money? What about large corporate stores, or "Black Owned" businesses?
If you're talking about banks redlining, I'll just point out that most Black people I've heard talk about this wouldn't want to live in a majority black neighborhood either. I'm sure there were ways to get around it.
It violates freedom of association, objectively. Arguably you can say the government has the right to regulate commerce and businesses offering services is different than individual associations - but it's still a form of association.
Maybe it’s just my general paranoia because of how I grew up (an autistic loner with very few friends until high school, and those friends being the only reason I’m not a woke black shithead today), but since I tend to lurk more than anything, I’ve read how a lot of people here 'weren’t racially aware until I saw ghetto black people for the first time’ or calling the BLM riots ‘chimp outs’ (which to be fair they were super violent so I have no issue with them being called that), or in every thread posted here where the local news hides the race of a criminal in the headline and it turns out to be a black person, but I think while there aren’t Nazis everywhere of course, there are enough people who have had negative (to say the very least) experiences with black people and would rather not have to deal with them.
Because I’m just an autistic nerd who spends his free time complaining about frame data and going to fighting game tournaments, I would rather not have businesses refuse me for sharing the same skin color as a lot of shitty people, but society has enabled said shitty people to run amok so it might just be inevitable.
For example, there’s a university in my state that hosts tournaments, but it’s in a rural area where that entire city revolves around the university, and all the small towns around it are like 65+% white, and I tend to eat at those local restaurants after bracket because I like eating at local, non-corporate restaurants, and I just don’t want to even think about the possibility that the only reason I was able to eat there is because they were forced to by law.
I wouldn’t eat at businesses owned by BLM supporters because they’re part of why this is even an issue, but yeah, I’m just already lonely enough as it is because I don’t really have that many friends, black or white, but it would be super insulting if I went to eat at a restaurant with my friends and I saw that they’d let my white friends in and not me.
It's amazing how little I give a fuck about how you feel in this comment.
If your race/culture have become such a liability that the public at large doesn't find it worth it to deal with you.... cry me a fucking river.
