re: #835 RogueOne

You don’t see the difference between government treating citizens differently based on skin color as opposed to a private citizen? The government is restricted to dealing with people regardless of race/sex/etc and their impartiality is important. I don’t believe the same thing should apply to individuals.

There is no “citizen” status without government, RogueOne.

Oh, now I get you seem to say that individuals should be allowed to discriminate, as opposed to governments. Sorry, but that is not what you said. You said:

The government has zero business treating anyone differently because of any reason they might feel is valid but that’s different than the right of ordinary citizens.

So you don’t think it is important that businesses would be prohibited from discriminating against, say, blacks. Because it couldn’t possibly have any political impact, or what?

Btw, I very well believe that government may treat people differently. Criminals, for instance.
