I'm pretty sure that's actually what Masterpiece Cake Shop was about
`The facts of Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission are simple. Charlie Craig and David Mullins visited the Masterpiece bakery and looked through a photo album of custom-designed cakes. When the owner, Jack Phillips, greeted them, they told him (according to his own testimony) that they โwanted a wedding cake for โour wedding.โโ Phillips told them that he did not create wedding cakes for same-sex weddings. They left immediately without discussing any details of their proposed wedding cake.`
He could've made a fairly generic wedding cake, they're usually not specifically decorated aside from the topper.
By generic I mean subscribing to the standard designs
Most wedding cakes are not indicative of the genders of the couple save for the topper.
They never got that far though, so we're purely in a hypothetical scenario.
It still would've been up to the gay couple to not file a civil rights greivance
And I think a large number of gay couples would've just gone on with their lives and found another shop.
A business that refuses to serve black people is actively cutting off business, it may try to do it, but it won't last.
Before the Jim Crow laws, businesses were not interested in discrimination based on race because it harmed their profits.
As a sidebar, I disagree with that assessment, racial discrimination has nothing to do with interstate commerce and shouldn't be under the purview of the commerce clause.
The restaurant acted specifically to push back against government overreach.
The commerce clause was intended to keep the Federal government from becoming involved in local commerce, but the courts have stretched it so far that almost everything is interstate commerce and so the Federal government has authority.
If my business only pays with cash and only accepts cash, would I be exempt?
Having a "whites only" sign was mandated by law under Segregation laws.
It gets a lot harder to sort out between Emancipation and Segregation how much discrimination there was
But if we're talking about the Jim Crow era, segregation wasn't just legal, it was mandated.
Many businesses pushed back against the state laws saying they had to segregate too.
You don't correct government overreach with more government overreach.
They fought tyranny with more tyranny, and it's had major consequences
The courts created a bad precedent for more tyranny.
The courts had also previously found Separate but Equal to be constitutional
Judging by the reaction today to the power of SCOTUS, I'm not quite sure
Amend the Constitution if you want to clarify the powers of the Fed, don't have SCOTUS make up new definitions that aren't there.
But SCOTUS doesn't have the absolute power to order POTUS to do anything
Also, Discord etiquette, you don't need to keep pinging me unless it looks like I've wandered away.
I think for the most part, the Civil Rights Act was a step in the right direction
It was the means by which they enforced it that may have been a necessary evil, I'm not fully sure how I feel about that part.
It's government enforcement of morals via the Civil Rights Act of 1964
My concern is, what about that someone's freedom to associate?
You're taking away that person's freedoms to make you more comfortable.
Of course, you can't control how you look, but that person's thoughts and heart can be changed, but not at the end of the barrel of a gun.
While I think it's admirable to force people to not discriminate, I don't think it's ultimately a social good to force people to cooperate.
Discord Etiquette (again): It's unnecessary and sometimes seen as aggressive and rude to ping people when they're most likely still paying attention, you should save it for when you believe they've drifted away.
I don't see it as aggressive (usually), I'm just passing along my experience with Discord.
The point is to attract someone to the channel when they might be away
Like how Imkilo tagged me and the other guy after a couple hours of silence
I don't understand why more of them don't claim refugee status at the US Embassy first
Or maybe I do understand and don't want to say because it's a theory
Take it easy on Gabby, she _was_ shot in the head.
