what??????? wow what a jump!!! this guy is not a ruler of a country and forcing genocide on millions of people. if a man wants to only sell to a certain group of people, why cant he? why does he not have the freedom to sell to a particular portion of the population. if it hurts anybody at all, it is him!

 I agree completely with what you're selling and his freedom to sell to who he wants. The fact is he is blindly discriminating, hitler didn't start off a ruler and mass murderer, but people empowering and going along with did.

Sure maybe a jump, but I get so tired of racist bill sh!t in the 21st century.

I suppose you'd happily sell large quantities of huge power amplifiers and highly efficient speakers to someone who declared to you that he was going to use it to see if he could really make someone deaf just by a few minutes of loud loud sound.

And I suppose you'd train Muslims to fly planes even if they told you they weren't interested in learning to land. That one actually happened, but hey, at least it didn't end in tragedy.....
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Yeah Ernie, all the people he said he wouldn't train said they would use it for violence, right? Such an ignorant comment. I agree with the man's right to choose who he trains. Free country and that's beautiful. However, there are just as many reasons to worry about his racial ignorance as there is about a radical Muslims ignorance. They are both ignorant and I wouldn't do business with either.

Both ignorant as SD said. Blanketing an entire group/race of people based on the actions of a few isn't okay with me. Hopefully you can accept that I'm not an American racist, just an American.

Unfortunately the US right now could easily be compared to pot World War I Germany. Germany was in shambles.The people were fed up that they didn't have jobs and felt disconnected with the government. That is how Hitler was able to become so powerful. Kinda sounds like how we are now. Luckily for us the politicians here are garbage and couldn't lead their own way out of a wet paper bag.

Anyone read the bottom of the article where he goes on to state that the restaurant his wife runs only serves whites?

Whats the big deal? Muslims in America are all terror babies who were born ready for Obamas holy war and liberals aren't insecure murderous psychopaths so it's not like he has to turn anyone away.

Seriously... who cares? There are morons allover the place.

For the most part, this is where I sit. I get that some people are simple minded, racists. I mostly shake my head and walk away. I'm not seriously offended by the OP just still disgusted that blind, blanketed racism is still strong today.

Born and raised in the bright red state of Idaho. As if California isn't chalk full of racist also. I've probably seen more racism here than I did growing up in Idaho.

But hey, if we're making broad, generalizeed judgments, why not throw in CA, the state that has more people than the 21 least populate states COMBINED, roughly 12% of the entire US population

Also, California is nearly 35/35 red/blue and the rest independent. Probably some of the more liberal replubicans, but still republicans. And NO, i'm suggesting that republicans are racist. Just many republicans would make similiar comments about Obama as I was seeing on the videos of site listed in the OP.

I understand your frustration but... Its sort of like being angry at a dog for occasionally pissing on the rug. They aren't smart enough to understand why they shouldn't do it. They only learn that they get in trouble when they do it.

Same with racist morons. For the most part they keep it to themselves because they have learned that they can get in trouble for it. Occasionally their moronic urges get the best of them (much like when a dog really has to go pee).

You get angry at them, smack them in the nose with a newspaper but later your just going to feel guilt about it because you know they aren't smart enough to realize that their is no such thing as race. We are 1 species and the physical differences you see are mostly due to the climate of our ancestors geological locations and other environmental factors.

So in the future just smile and say NO! NO! Bad Redneck! NO!

that is probably the best analogy i have heard on the subject!! i 100% agree.

however, i also think that you should be able to serve whoever you want as a business owner. if a gay or black or middle eastern or purple man wants to start an establishment that only serves gays, blacks, middle eastern, or purples, ok i want ever go there. i know that he is limiting his income and very likely wont be succesfull. i also know that for every one of those people/establishments there are 100 that arent like that, that i will visit. to each his own! we should be way more concerned with educating these idiots so eventually this type of shit wont even arise.

I agree with everything here. I knew you were being somewhat sarcastic in the OP, I just didn't agree with "more power to him". Sure let him be a racist, but I'm not going to just say that's okay.

My attitude is that if this guy want's to choose who he does business with he shouldn't be allowed to connect his business to our electrical grid, roads, water etc. These things are subsidized by tax dollars.

This sort of thing always starts as white guys wanting a golf course just for other white guys or maybe even gay guys wanting a club for just other gay guys... but it ends up with crosses burning and people hanging from trees.

If they want to take advantage of the amenities that the United States and its citizens, tax dollars provide... They play by the rules. Want to pick and choose? Get your own country.
