"Private property rights were one of the founding principles"

Weren't people property then? If private property was such a right to the founders then why did they steal the land of other people who they established treaties that guaranteed to those people?

Because that stuff was Ok back then since SOME "whites" had more rights than other people, even white ones. This is 2014; the past is the past. I'm of Irish family and, does "society" owe for how my ancestors were treated back in the day? Of course NOT.

Not true. Oklahoma has one of the largest gay resorts, or gay whorehouse in the nation in Oklahoma City in the form of a large motel. They surely have leather nights there from time to time. That's what unique about Oklahoma. Lots of oddball stuff that exists in conflict with other oddball stuff.

Wow, that pic has a small-penis compensation level over 9000.

In any case, hope the bar owner enjoys his ADA case.

I know. When the "Whites Only" signs came down, the whole nation went to crap.

It'll probably be closed by then. He'll be spending all his time defending the discrimination suits.

But whatever floats your boat.
