Goldman refusing to issue IPO if all company directors are straight, white men

[stevenash]

So a proprietor, in your opinion, does NOT have the right to trade with whom he wants?  But  I am sure you thought all was fine when the . restaurant chose to refuse service to Sarah Huckabee Sanders in Lexington, Virginia?  ( if you didnt think it was ok, I dont seem to remember you offering your thoughts on that circumstance)

Hobby Lobby is a private company so they can do whatever they want.  Chick Fil-A donated to the Salvation Army, Fellowship of Christian Athletes and many other charities.  
 

Both are Christian organizations that donate to Christian charities.  They have done nothing to discriminate against gays or anyone for that matter.  Just admit you hate Christians and move on.  It would be a lot easier to take you serious if you were honest.  

I am a Christian. I think the Bible’s got a good bit to say about that judgement you just threw on me. I was talking about boycott as a way to express one’s disagreement. 2 cents add up over time.

My guess is that your 2 cents is offset by a number of individuals who made it a point to shop at the two aforementioned companies specifically because they would not let the left dictate how they operate their business or with whom  they do business.    I am not a  consumer of chicken but have bought  other items at chick fill a ( that  I ordinarily wouldn't) because of their stance on many issues

If one doesn't like chick-fil-a, I hear popeye's has a good chicken sandwich.

Someone operating in the public arena, taking advantage of all benefits of a free economy has no right subjecting their beliefs on their customers, regardless of race, sex, or religion. 

Have you ever been to Chick Fil-A and had a worker subject their beliefs to you or seen them discriminate against any customer?  I’ve never seen or heard such an accusation.  I’m sure if it happened, it would be all over the news.  
 

You are boycotting a place because the liberal media tells you to, not because they did anything wrong.  It’s pathetic that a company can’t be openly Christian without being criticized by the left.

What if Goldman required all company managers be straight white males, would that be discrimination? If so, why is the reverse not also?

[baddog]

Isn’t this a quid pro quo? Goldman could be brought up on charges if in fact this is criminal.

It’s not about being openly Christian. It’s about being openly discriminatory.

From your racism narratives.  It's about as used up as the hands up, don't shoot crap that was falsely going around a few years back.

Can you give me one example of Chick Fil-A being openly discriminatory?
 

All I’ve ever heard from their employees is please and thank you.  The workers at Popeyes all hate their jobs and life’s and let you know when you order.

A business has the right to express their views, and donate to whom they see fit.  When this isn't allowed to happen, then we have a communist/socialist society.  It seems this is what you long for, but I would be careful what you wish for.  Throughout history, these types of government do not bode well for its people.  That is not hard to see.

Funny how white folk don’t wanna talk about that crap. Speaking of falsely, did FOX news ever show even one of the videos of unarmed black men being shot in the back? I saw more than enough of them to make me uncomfortable.

If the way we were is discriminatory, then to begin excluding people that don’t fit your agenda is also discriminatory. Duh!!!!!!

I believe Fox did show the video of the black man being shot in the back by the cop in SC.  And for the record, I said then I felt this was completely uncalled for.  So, there you have it!  Try again.

They got over a dozen lawsuits against them for various forms of it. 
Do you do work assessing Popeyes employee satisfaction? My consumer experiences there have always been pleasant.

Good to hear. So the don’t shoot crap wasn’t  false? Or was what you saw just considered a one-off?

Of course they do. Donating and other expressions of opinion are not the same as discriminating on the basis of race, sex, or religious affiliation. Nothing communist about equality on those bases is it?

As for types of what I’d call economic systems, not societies, we’re headed right straight to an oligarchy, which will in turn lead to authoritarian rule of everyone not an oligarch. You don’t think donald trump would light the Constitution on fire if he thought he could get away with it?
