Is this more of that "mental acuity" you were talking about earlier?
Ok, scroll up to your previous post: Read your quote of me carefully. I think it's you with the mental acuity issue.

Additionally: What was this story about? Who was involved?

You stated, and read your quote very carefully

Now, somehow trying to support your original statement, you're asking me to take a poll about if Hooters is targeted at families.

What do you think is the link between "targeted at families" and "morally upright citizenry"?

Seriously, I give up on you. You are one of those people who cut up what people say and then make an argument of it.

You win... I really don't have time for your bs.

ROFL


Your claim is that Hooters isn't a venue for morally upright citizenry.

You then said that the people, and emphasized, that you knew, who went there were scumbags. As if the subset of people that you know are somehow representative of Hooters' clientele.

Which does absolutely nothing to show that Hooters is not a family friendly venue of morally upright citizenry. It only shows that some of the people that you hang around with you consider scumbags.


When called out on this you asked me to poll people on whether Hooters targeted families.

Which, if people say, "Yes, it is targeted at families" or "No, it is not targeted at families" has absolutely zero to do with whether or not Hooters is a "venue for morally upright citizenry".


I know your argument doesn't make a lick of sense
Anyone with minimal

The only question is if you realize that your argument doesn't make a lick of sense.

I would say not, but the family was there for the birthday of a boy who was turning 18. Makes it a little easier to understand the choice of venue, I think. In any case, it's irrelevant. It's not okay to spit on anyone, particularly a child.

Anyone who spits in public anywhere is a filthy disgusting pig, let alone spit at or toward a child.

On discrimination based on one’s colour, I can only concur that blacks can be prejudicial towards whites - but not racist. What do I mean? Before I attempt to give an explanation of my argument, I first have to define words that serve as the premises: prejudice and racism. Prejudice refers to a positive or negative evaluation of another person based on their perceived group membership. Racism on the other hand refers to social actions, practices or beliefs or political systems that consider different races to be ranked as inherently superior or inferior to each other. Furthermore, racism is socio-economic, with systemic structures which promote one race’s powers over another.
I agreed with you up to the last sentence. Being that racism is the view that Person A is better than Person B because of the former's race, racism could mean that a poor Black person thinks they are better than a rich White person.

There are times where I will absolutely not respect another person's person and will actually criticize them for it. The idea that Black people cannot be racist is 1 of them. I am not denying your right to free speech, but it's also my right to free speech to not respect your opinion on this.

Yes. That too. What a dumb game. But seriously, spitting on the ground is such a disgusting habit.
