What's amazing is that guys like Ripsnort, mielta and Leslie can read an article (presumably) where five people who had darker skin than the airline officials they were dealing with were denied access to airplanes based solely upon the color of their skin-Hell, two or three of these gentlemen of color weren't even Arabic for Christ's sakes- and THEN Ripsnort, mielta and Leslie start lambasting the ACLU for having the NERVE to protect the civil rights of these five gentlemen of color. (BTW, several of these guys are seeking an apology rather than compensatory damages, but of course you know that because you read the article, right?)
Somebody help me out here. I'm trying really hard to understand how these three oft-proclaimed Conservatives can claim to be such great American patriots yet somehow condone the actions of business establishments (such as airlines) who refuse service based upon skin color. Seriously, explain to me how you feel discrimination for discrimination's sake is justified.
