Give it another 10,000 years or so and there will be a lot less variation in skin tone and everyone can collectively get past this(mostly). Race is dictated by evolutionary responses to environmental pressures so thanks to air travel and the ever expanding reach of technology/nutrition it will slowly fade away. Well, except for Alaska, the inner cities, and Appalachia...especially Appalachia.

Until then you have the right to be a racist. It is disappointing but predictable this comes up so much. Much like other rights we hold so dear the mere existence of them seems to mortally offend others(see abortion and gay marriage). The right to choose will always trump the privilege of being chosen. Whether it is fair or not, or impacts someone in a negative manner is not the issue. For those that feel otherwise would you be comfortable letting others dictate your choice of who to be intimate with or conduct business with?

As to whether shaming a provider or hobbyist with an NBA policy is productive and drives meaningful social and economic change is yet to be determined.

Some good answers. I can see some education is in order and so, fortunately, I'm here to help.

There is a difference between discrimination based on taste and personal prejudice (RAYCESS!). For example, if I prefer Taco Bell to McDonald's, that is personal preference. I'm not comparing providers to fast food, they cost much more, but the principle is the same.

Now, if Taco Bell has a policy of not serving blacks, that's not personal preference it's discrimination. It's sort of the definition. I am NOT suggesting providers have any obligation to service people they don't want to see. And, yes, people have a right to be racist. Most are.

But don't conflate the personal preference of the buyer with a policy of blanket discrimination. And not one of these rationales for the NBA policy holds water. It's basically saying even if you're on P411 with seven okays, or have great references you can't be seen. Whether you agree with the policy or not, call it what it is. RAYCESS

Racism is just ignorant.
Your Raycess bullshit takes ignorance to an all time high level, deep into stupid territory.
Go cry somewhere else!

Sorry if I hurt your feelings somehow, pussycat. You could, you know, make a cogent point. Ah, I think I see the problem.

[rockerrick]

Cry some more you sniveling wuss. My point was very cogent, you are ignorant!

When you see a provider that doesn't see guys under 30 or some age, do you scratch her off your list? If not, how is age discrimination any different - given your Taco Bell example?

I agree. Some girls won't see fat or old men. Does that make them sizeist, ageist? If they don't date a certain kind of guy in their personal life due to preference and the hobby is essentially a date/relationship for an hour or 2 then they are exercising their preference in the hobby as well. They might be culturally incompetent but who cares, move on, don't see them.

Racism these days is no different from any other izm. Racism now is only a "problem" b/c people make a big stink about it. Like any other pre judgement, we know it's there. I try not to live my life in generalizations. After all I am an individual who conducts myself in a respectful way towards others and that grants me the same in return. If someone is nasty towards me personally, I assume THEY are the one with the problem. If I'm not feeding off the funk its not my problem.

I'm sure civil rights activists and the like are rolling in their graves lauging at us 21st century people, talking about what's racist.

Honestly, after watching this I thought wtf do I know about what black men go through and how it feels. I guess because I don't judge them the way they mention in this video... made me take my rose colored glasses off for a minute.

I agree. Having an appointment where both people are comfortable is definitely better and less awkward.
