I said thugs (black trash) as well as white trash.

I discriminate equally.

And that sir is EXACTLY what has been going on for years, people denying others from housing, education and decent employment opportunities by using some other "lame" excuse to discriminate.

I don't agree with you, but at least you were honest about your discriminatory practices

Discriminating against riff raff who you suspect will trash your place is only logical, and not to mention perfectly legal when you stick to that theme.

you can find that anywhere on the net.

i find it funny now how they make sure they have blacks in there commercials now.

dennys is a perfect example of practicing racism by refusal of service, people making noise about it, and dennys being put in there place from all the negative PR.

no serious company is going to have a no anything sign, which is why i kind of agree with paul.

but things are much different now then in the 1960's.

the law was needed in the 60's, since a majority of establishments refused to do business with blacks. it wasn't just 1 or 2 here or there, it was a majority.
Your post contradicts your point. Denny's did it and got away with it until they got sued. If they hadn't been sued they might still be up to their same discriminatory practices today.

I don't discriminate. I just prefer to call trash what it is... trash.

Actually he still will be served just under suspious looks and giggles. Blacks (for the most part) have hostrically opened their businesses to non-blacks, now if they choose NOT to go is a different matter. Even when Jim crow was at it's peak, there were still some whites that went into black establishments but not the other way around.

Any pics to back up that claim?

Maybe if he brought a white woman with him, based on the desperate hope they could get with her.

I am white, but I would boycott any shop with such a sign in the window. And I guess every decent member of society would do the same.
I wonder why any politician even makes such a silly statement...
