    So what? The correct response should have been "I need to see your ID, sir."

    Yes. But it’s posed as a racial matter in a thread about racism. It’s assumed the teller acted out of racial animus, rather than an employee making an unfortunate mistake.

    It was racist. That would have not happened to Steven Spielberg. Or Josh Wedon. Or Ron Howard.

    Anybody think they'd handcuff Zach Snyder while they checked his ID?

    Areas that were Redlined 50 years ago continue to suffer from poor air quality. Want to guess who lives in those neighborhoods?

    I've only read a little about the dynamics of block-busting, but it was really interesting (and sleazy, of course). Scare the white folk and get them to sell cheap, then sell to black folk at marked-up prices, watch the black folk default because of high monthly payments, then bank repos the house and the lot sits derelict for 20 years.

    Corporate CRT. These f****** are just making things up and then passing restrictive laws based on their own bigotry.

    There's no way this can stand up logically. If corporations are people and thus can donate money, which counts as speech, then enjoining their speech is a First Amendment violation.
