Mixed colour marriage refused by white judge

E30 Cabrio, pls quite arguing with yourself here...i think they've stated clearly that it is wrong in both cases. whether its a liberal discriminating against a conservative or the other way around. I personally feel that store owner should have been fined or prosecuted for his/her actions...
But in this particular case, do you think he should resign/fired from his position? After all discrimination is discrimination, right..

A person has a free choice to perform the ceremony or not to, I am defending his right to that choice, NOT HIS REASONING

If you cant see that then holy shit is all I can say

Holy Shit is right. What's next? Cops saying sorry I ain't gonna save him-I don't like n*****s. How about a public defender saying naw, I ain't gonna represent him, I don't like waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffless.

Are you fukin nuts? Public officials don't get to decide-they took an oath to represent everyone they serve regardless of race creed, etc...

Now a preacher can say no-he isnt with the government, but officials gotta do the job the way the law says they do. No choice.

Hey mar1t1me, I think you should look in the mug shot thread for the pic of e30cabrio and mrsleeve. It's a little awkward for me to post it here, but let's just say that we've all learned just to let some things go.

awww how nice of you


Dont like our point of view, make fun of us with the mentally challenged, seems like a standard Libtard tactic.

and you call us cruel and insensitive

You've missed the point of my argument.

If it weren't for double-standards, would they have any at all?

I still don't get how we are comparing discrimination from a shop owner and a judicial officer. Apples and Oranges. There is a law that saying that shop owners have a right to refuse service to ANYONE. Races can intermarry in this country, he should really looked passed his 'concerns' as a representative of the law.


Note that if he had some other excuse, then his refusal to approve could of been warranted and there wouldn't be such a question if this is discrimination or not. Its so crummy this site instantly makes this political. Can we give this a rest?

Please can you copy and paste on this thread that paragraph of the law that stipulates that a shop owner can refuse service solely on the base of race or skin colour?

hehe I've been refused service at a shop before because I looked like trouble. A shop owner can use that for anyone... right? Because skin color doesn't matter right?

[Massive Lee]

Well, if you looked totally spaced out, and a posible cause for violence ifyou stay in the business, I understand why you can be denied service. But if two proper persons get denied service just because of their colour, that's a different thing.

I told my yellow valve cover to GET THE FUCK OUT of my engine bay....
Does that make me racist?

no just anal.. i seriously don't get why people go to such lengths to make their valve covers pretty. esp when in most cases, the rest of the car looks like a POS.

it depends. the case is not so clear when it comes to a private business. while i think the shop owner was wrong to refuse to sell to palin (why would you refuse business anyways?), i am not sure he was breaking the law. more details here:

in any case, this is irrelevant to the case at hand which is a public official who does not have the right to refuse.

I've actually been to some convenient stores that have in front of their doors "no service, if bare footed" ....i think thats fuckin retarded tho, wat if your coming from the beach or something, but i gotta say tho i saw it in a neighborhood where there' are lot of crackheads around..lol

The guy was just plain wrong and should have his status of Justice of the Peace revoked. He knew when he accepted the position that he was required to give marriage licenses to everybody the law allowed. He can't be making his own rules with regards to that. He does have free choice though and he can refuse anybody he wants to. It's just that he is also forgoing his duty, responsibility and most likely his job at the same time. It doesn't matter what the guy's reason was, it was wrong. The guy is an idiot.

As a side note, in Connecticut, a JotP can refuse to perform a civil union for homosexuals. But in Massachusetts, they can't. If you don't like that and you are a JotP, well, either suck it up or quit. That's just the way the laws are.

The idiot in the store is probably different since there is probably no stipulations about who he has to sell to. However, I would hope that everybody in that area would avoid his store, whether they think a Palin supporter is an idiot or not, because the store owner is obviously an asshole.


The problem here is that race is still a big issue, but not for the majority of us and not the way it used to be. Even for those of us who it is not a problem, we cannot make any judgments for fear of reprisals. I think that Al Sharpton is a manipulative and exploitative shyster. But if I say that in the wrong place, I'll get called a racist. Why? Well, mostly because of guys like Al Sharpton who continually remind us that saying anything bad about people of color is being a racist.
