What is wrong with that city anyway? I think Mississippi is now more progressive on race issues

So the whole city gets blamed for one woman's action?

Do I smell a race bait thread?

private business, should not even be a federal matter. what she did is hateful and repugnant, but it is not illegal to be racist.

Freedom of association.

Americans lost that freedom in 1964.

Not sure I would blame an entire city for the racist actions of one whacka a doodle, and I say that being the mother of a multiracial child myself.

I hope she gets her day in court, as she clearly violated some very serious laws. But again, crazy people are everywhere not fair to blame Cincinnati for her actions.

As a landlord it is illegal to discriminate based on race. Denying one tenant access to the shared pool, because of her race is clearly illegal.

Your not kidding.


Good intentions, that eventually lead to bad consequences, down the road.
A lot of resentment was established and used for political gain and still is.

doesnt matter, private business, neither the state nor the feds should have anything to do with it. if private citizens want to boycott her business, then let the money talk because she wont be getting any.

of course it is, but it should not be illegal in private matters. if you look at it, even the SPLC and the ACLU both discriminate.
