Last time I checked most of the NE doesn't suck Trumps lil wiener like the south does. You won't find KKK radio in the NE but you'll find these very 'fine people' in Alabama and Arkansas and almost everywhere else in the south. Throw in a few Confederate flags as well. I'm curious, which developed countries since you were so specific have a bigger race issue than America? Maybe Israel? Traveled quite a bit actually, probably more than you. So please, enlighten me.

Apparently you hate the South.

I too have never boycotted a company over politics. I find it amusing that you are all up in arms claiming they are hurting other Americans now that some right wingers are calling for boycotts yet were silent over the boycott of Chick Fla and most recently Goya.

One, I didn't support the boycotts and two, the president didn't urge his supporters to boycott chick fila and goya.

Why should you refuse to do business with someone because they don't agree with your political views? I do business with the people that are good at the jobs. Similarly, I don't put people on ignore because I don't like what they say.

Where do you draw the line?

What about criminal behavior?

Why not arm yourself?

After the attempted mugging I went thru you suggested I arm myself. Why not this kid? .

There are pictures of him helping to clean up grafity, there is video of him being asked about his gun, and he first says he brought a med kit to help and afterwards he says the rifle is for self defense. No idea how the courts will read into that but to me it speaks of his mindset. Aid kit first, gun second.

And I see no issue with that mindset. Pray for peace but prepare for war. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Because it was illegal for this kid to carry.

I've been to Korea and Japan, both way more racist than the average American. Most white Europeans are more racist than the average American. The least racist place I have been is central America, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Belize are IMO less racist than Canada which would be the other country I would rank high on the list of low racism.

If you ever get the opportunity to do business, spend much time and get to know people in Boston, Hartford, Providence or NYC you will understand how racism is ingrained in the NE. I would venture to say they are some of the most segregated areas of the country I have ever been to.

Korea and Japan have had a homogeneous population and independent, self-sustaining culture for hundreds of years. Not surprising they don't trust outsiders. Not exactly bastions of multicultiralism, so yeah they might have lots of racists but there isn't a huge swath of black and brown people anywhere in Asia so it's sort of moot.

I'm sure there are lots of racist businessmen in Boston, RI and Connecticut (ew, Connecticut), but in the past 20 years they've at least voted a black guy into office. We all know where the majority of the birther types live.

You could argue Western Europeans are on average more racist, maybe, but black people there aren't nearly as segregated as they are here, save for maybe the immigrants from North Africa. It's a bigger problem here for sure. Also, last I checked, Germany picked up the tab when Syrian refugees were pouring out.

Wow, it's almost as if this 'diversity is good' bogus is a giant myth.

Your examples are all representative of a person preference regarding the product being peddled. The boycotts punish a business that produces a product wanted by the buyer, but refuses to purchase because of differing political beliefs.

That may be their goal but each person who participates is still making a personal choice. No one is forced into any of this

Refusing to purchase is the same no matter the reasoning

Because you aren't intentionally placing yourself in a situation in which you'll be mugged.

I don't pretend to take people's words at face value. Neither should you.
