I guess nuance doesn’t always come across on the internet.
I was pointing out that allowing businesses to reject anyone for any reason doesn’t go over well. The “no color allowed” was common signage from segregated businesses in Jim Crow era times.
I wasn’t comparing, I was simply responding to the ops statement,. if I was responding to your post, I would have made a top-level comment, not a reply to a specific commenter. In no way is rejecting cops the same as racism, and for the record I’m all for the former. I just didn’t like the notion of the original ops comment, which is why I replied to them and not to you.
Dude said legalize “no questions asked discrimination” and you referenced a very well known example of discrimination in recent history. Seemed like a logical response to me.
Yeah, but the issue is using that particular example in a post talking about police.
Also, as a Black American, it’s really tiring when we and discrimination against us get pulled out to use as examples. Like, just keep us out of it some times.
I don’t know what you’re not getting. Your post was about police specifically. The top comment of this chain days for any reason whatsoever, which could include, but is not limited to, race. The post isn’t wrong, the top level comment here is because some people would use the liberty of blocking anyone they want to ban people of color, which has happened in the past hence the example.
You’re telling me that if the conversation starts with cops, you agree with someone saying “they should be able to turn anyone away, no questions asked.”?
Dude didn’t say discriminating against cops is the same as discriminating against black people.
To you, and that “No colored allowed.”

Yeah, I know, which is why I said I get where you were coming from, but it was still in poor taste.

You are getting a funny reaction but I get you.
