Sarah Sanders and Family Reportedly Denied Service at Virginia Restaurant

UtterlyPerplexed · Jun 23, 2018

Sarah Sanders is not a protected class. Being a member of the Trump administration is not a protected class. Anyone who continues to be a Trump loyalist at all is not a protected class. By principle I oppose a business rejecting the patronage of a customer on the grounds of race, religion, gender, etc if there's no valid exceptional reason bar mere bigotry. But there's nothing wrong with a restaurant exercising their right to tell a willing member of a despicable administration to go somewhere else.

This is a protest, not discrimination. The difference lies in the relative power of the actors.

I hope you aren't surprised then when restaurants begin to refuse service to gay or black people, they refer to it as a "protest".

I hope her children come to realize that their mom is an abhorrent piece of human trash.

Political party isn't a protected class, they can refuse the fuck out of her and her ilk.

It's maddening how few people understand this.

I can't agree with this.

Sarah Sanders is a liar and has a belief system I am staunchly opposed to, but public institutions should have no right to discriminate.

I can't roll my eyes hard enough. They are destroying both present and future lives. Simply being turned away is too benign a punishment for these demons.

It'll happen, you wait. This sets a horrible precedent that looks to harm a lot more people than just Sarah Sanders.

I'm sure ol' Smokey Eye believed that baker could deny service to a gay couple for his beliefs so I have absolutely zero tears to give to her. Go settle for McDonald's drive-thru.

Refusing service based on race is illegal. Sexual orientation is an ongoing legal battle. Political belief is legal.

That was a narrow scope. It doesn't apply nationwide.

Dude, your example includes one protected class.

Political views aren't protected. They can tell her to fuck off and it is no problem.

the sarah sanders act of 2018 trumps the civil rights act of 1964 i guess

I saw the owner refuse Sarah Huckabee Sanders service, because he is a Democrat and can't be a decent human being.

Only the most twisted of human beings would refuse service to someone for being awful.

NinjaScooter · Jun 23, 2018

Being a Trump supporter, or a generally awful human being, isn't protected, and shouldn't be. Having someone this hateful and toxic eating at your restaurant could be bad for business. I'd kick her ass out too. Fuck that shit stain.

Conservatives want to remove laws that protect people from being discriminated against due to factors beyond their control.

But they sure get upset when they discriminated against for things they can.

So an administration official, who has power and influence in their job that we can only imagine and is denied service based on their abuses of that power and influence, is on the same level as Joe Schmo, gay black patron of Bigoted Restaurant who is kicked out for being gay and/or black

If that belief system is based on hate, then yes absolutely. Restaurant has the right to deny service to KKK and neo Nazis. Trump adminis no different.

But, who will serve the racists and Nazis? Won't somebody think of the racists and Nazis?

Also, a restaurant is not a public institution. It is a private business.

Yes, being black and/or homosexual is the same as being a Republican.

10/10 analogy, would read again.

No, I wont be bullied off the forum for thinking it wrong to support discrimination of any kind.

I don't support discrimination against belief systems, period. It's what has made me a staunch supporter of civil rights for all and I won't compromise my beliefs even when the person being discriminated against opposes me.

We have standards, or we don't.

Intolerance can be a two-way street. Evicting those you don't politically agree with is showing your lack of humanity. I find your actions sad and the antithesis of a liberal's view on tolerance. I'll not be visiting again.

Discriminating against people based on their ethnicity or sexual orientation is illegal. How does someone "protest" black and/or gay individuals without falling afoul of already existing laws?

No, we support a restaurant owner right to deny service to someone based on their actions. And I'd say willfully working for a fascist administration that is running concentration camps for children right now is one of the actions that should get you blocked.

NinjaScooter · Jun 23, 2018

This shit is like the first amendment in how misunderstood the civil rights/discrimination laws are. Some people are dense as fuck. If someone comes in wearing a shirt that says "I HATE BLACK PEOPLE" should you have to serve them? If someone comes in in full KKK or nazi uniform should you have to serve them?

This is pretty reasonable. I can agree with this 99%. But it still doesn't sit well with me if we start refusing to serve people based on political affiliation. We all have our viewpoints and it potentially gets very ugly if we take this approach.
