This could be interesting. Of course the accusations of racism are already coming.

White people should be appreciated. Only left wing "multicultural" education of the last 50 years has made inroads that seek to impugn the great legacy that Western civilization has imparted and endowed to the planet, Earth.

""It's a perpetuation of racism," Weld County civil rights activist and community organizer Ricardo Romero said. "It's wrong. If you're going to give a discount, give it to the whole community."
If a restaurant gave a discount to a black person (affirmative action) it would be considered "good", but doing the same for a white person is deemed "racist". Let us not forget that the architect of affirmative action was a black man appointed by Richard Nixon who before his appointment was a Republican political candidate in Washington state. He also coined the phrase "a mind is a terrible thing to waste". Today he would be labeled an "Uncle Tom" by the Dems.

I'd be curious if any white, Hispanic or black business owner anywhere has given a discount for products or services based on race in this manner.

Some bars and restaurants have ladies night when women get discounts. Many businesses offer police, fire, or veteran discounts. Of course none of those are ever considered discriminatory. Go figure.....

That is because none of those are based on race like this one is. I have never seen anyone given a discount based on race. Based on the article the owner doesn't intend to do the same for any other races so this can be considered discrimination by race which is illegal.

Women's "rights" are ascendant. That us why Hillary gets so much positive press. Remember that no successful American society has ever been run by a woman.

Is discrimination by sex illegal? Why is there never an issue when a ladies night offering a discount to women takes place?
