You liberals are diseased, and you radicalized normal people with positions like these. When we come and have to genocide your ideology again, I will have no sympathy for you. None. I don't feel bad when Muslims blow up your cities, or when you abort yourselves, or can't reproduce. You deserve every bad result you get.

Endorsing discrimination, Liberals should be executed.

Goddam man calm down. All this is is a bunch of cringe lord fucks thinking they’re making a difference in the world to keep their minds off the fact they do jack shit to make the world a better place like the majority of humanity. No need to get all worked up and say things you’ll regret man.

Don't even bother. This is seriously going off the topic of this thread.

$12.00 lunch is pretty high already; i have a feeling that if the food stand owner knew the median income of all of his customers he might raise it to $30.00 accross the board. Perhaps the solution is a mandatory income check where every meal costs exactly 1/2125 of your income (ie: someone making just below 26,000 a year will pay about $12). This would also help us combat obesity by increasing the price every year we find obesity to be on the rise.

Well this would still be racist, it would be punishing all blacks in that area and making them all pay more based on what their race earn on average, then simply labeling it a "social experiment" when criticised.

These sorts of "social experiments" are dangerous, and profoundly racist. It's liberalism at it's worst. It makes the left hated, and ruins whatever message one has about racism. Pushing away a white majority isn't the answer, but rather only solidifies our skepticism of leftist social policies, liberal colleges, and identity politics.

This experiment further pushes away people that you need to have on your side, it divides and alienates people, especially the white majority. Further whites trying to defend racism on behalf of blacks is in itself racist in my view and does a huge disservice to activist minority groups.

Civil enough for you?

To be honest, I would say that, for the eighty-ninth time, that making this a choice, for all, to pay 12 or 30, should be a thing, with the 18 being skimmed and given to charity.
