In South Carolina, a BBQ restaurant owner claimed that he was within his rights to refuse service to blacks based on his religious beliefs. In the case brought before the Supreme Court, Maurice Bessinger stated that his religion required him to keep black people from eating in his restaurant, although he was perfectly OK with taking their money, so long as they ordered their food to-go.

I think this person should be required to point where in their religion that says it is okay to deny a customer from their restaurant because they are black.

I am very curious where he read this in his religion.

I think this Democrat is dead - the case is from 1968.

That case was in the mid-60's. What's your point?

Religious beliefs trump other generally applicable laws.

Right?

I don't think it should matter IF he even could have found that particular creed in his stupid religion.

They're still azzclowns for even following a religion they believe tells them this is appropriate treatment of fellow human beings.

One day we'll start over without all this idiotic sky-demon crap invented by man to keep men in line and perhaps that re-boot will result in humankind not having all these insane prejudices.

'Til then it's still the same old garbage in, garbage out.

Haha, probably so. I am still curious where in the bible it says that though.

The funny thing is that the blacks down in Columbia LOVE his food & eat there a lot. No matter how racist he is they will still eat his food!
