Camp: Can my group have a fundraiser at you restaurant, we will bring in business and you will gain customers?

Joe: sure! What kind of camp?
camp: we are a camp for children of middle eastern families.  Here is a flier. Here is our website. Here is the name of our national organization.

Joe: sounds great, have at it guys!

:a month later:

Joe:  holy sh!t, you guys aren't Christian.  Leave and I'm not giving you the 10% (according to people that were and aren't trying to sell more BBQ, they were asked to leave and only got their 10% back after angry threats).

Camp: ummm, we are not religious really.  Buwe teach middle eastern thinking, but most of our members are Muslim.

Joe: gtfo

Ain't nothing stopping you from raising money/donating to these groups. Have at it, or is it easier to shout at someone else from the bleachers?  Tongue

I believe that could have easily happened within my lifetime.

Another one.

"Hey, Goldstein! You didn't tell us your organization was Hebrew.  Your website looked like everyone else's except for that candelabra. We don't do kosher. Sorry."

Legality aside, there simply isn't a good defense for his actions.

Then of course. "Hey Mr Brown, the person I talked to on the phone sounded white. I didn't know you were a black group. Get out."

There are reasons for non-discrimination laws.

Perfectly legal.

It has.

Close family friend went to school in rural area in the 50's and 60's where the kids were literally taught that Catholics are Communists.  Many in the area still believe that....

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Beat me to it. Glad to see the rights of atheists are getting the complete civil rights treatment. Wow, be a member of an oppressed race confined to involuntary servitude for their lives being equated to atheists. Talk about sh!tting on true victims of discrimination.

Legally aside is probably a good thing because Joes is guilty of not doing a thorough enough review of what a "free thinker" group that runs a children's "secular" camp is really about. Just think if instead of calling it "Camp Quest", which is innocent sounding, they called it "Camp Atheist"? Would Joes had held the fundraiser? And I really like the Jewish stereotypes. You left out the hooked noses and money grubbing...
