Clarence Thomas pwns noobs yet again.
I am a few beers in, so I think it's a good time to ask: are you one of those guys on Twitter replying to every tweet about Trump with a string of bad memes?South Dakota State Rep. Michael Clark had a strong reaction to the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case: Not only did he celebrate the Court’s narrow ruling that a Colorado commission went was hostile to the baker’s faith, he said all business owners should have the right to discriminate, even if we’re talking about bakers refusing to sell cakes to black customers.
“He should have the opportunity to run his business the way he wants,” Clark wrote. “If he wants to turn away people of color, then that(‘s) his choice.”
In an interview with the Argus Leader, Clark said that business owners with strongly-held beliefs should be able to turn away customers.
“If it’s truly his strongly based belief, he should be able to turn them away,” Clark said. “People shouldn’t be able to use their minority status to bully a business.”
And if the community doesn’t support a store or restaurant that bars customers for that reason or others, it will put them out of business.
“The vote of the dollar is very strong,” he said.
And if the community doesn’t put them out of business? Then, Clark implied, racism is acceptable.
It didn’t take long for Clark to apologize for his comments, later saying to a newspaper, “I would never advocate discriminating against people based on their color or race.” (Even though that’s quite literally what he said.)
He issued another apology last night on Facebook:
He says, “Of course, I was wrong, all business should serve everyone, equally.” But does that mean he thinks the baker in Colorado should’ve made a cake for the same-sex couple? He doesn’t tell us.
And to add insult to bigotry, Clark had no GOP opposition in last night’s primary. He’ll have challengers in November, but this is South Dakota. A Republican in certain House races is all-but-assured victory.
Its what he does here so Im sure he does there as well.I am a few beers in, so I think it's a good time to ask: are you one of those guys on Twitter replying to every tweet about Trump with a string of bad memes?
I can’t read this without it being in a drunk voice in my head.I am a few beers in, so I think it's a good time to ask: are you one of those guys on Twitter replying to every tweet about Trump with a string of bad memes?
Just a solid buzz.I can’t read this without it being in a drunk voice in my head.

Clark wrote. “If he wants to turn away people of color, then that(‘s) his choice.”No, that's not "quite literally what he said."
He's advocating for individual liberty, not for racism.
This is why we can't have real discourse anymore.
He wasn't advocating that people do that. He was advocating for an individuals ability to choose who they do services for. Which is why he went on to talk about communities not supporting businesses who refuse to serve people based on race and them ultimately going out of business as a result.Clark wrote. “If he wants to turn away people of color, then that(‘s) his choice.”
Fuck whites.
"No Whites Allowed"
Yeah that doesn't sound racist at all.
And like the article asked: And if the community doesn’t put them out of business?He wasn't advocating that people do that.

I guess it's easiest to pick a few words and place them out of context though.
Pretty general comment. Whites are the problem to what for centuries.Fuck whites.
They are the problem.
Have been for centuries.
Fuck whites.
They are the problem.
Have been for centuries.
That won't happen. But I guess it's not different than a KKK rally being held in someones front yard. It's legal but those people are horrible human beings.And like the article asked: And if the community doesn’t put them out of business?
What then?
What happens to the minorities that live in that community or ones just passing through? Tough shit? Personal liberty and all?
Yes.
Fight racism with more racism. Yeah that will probably work. Are people really this dumb?
