    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't buy that, honestly. I think that was a justification to avoid saying, "I don't like n*****s and won't serve them." Making it a "pure business case" and hey, they're just businessmen gives it a more legitimate veneer.

    Asians hate other asians.

    What do you think they think about other races/ethnicities? Asians play the part of the model minority, but they are cold and calculating.

    Yeah, I see cities that have seriously disadvantaged residents that have been downtrodden by Republicans and horrifically downtrodden by Trump. Why do you think those cities have elected Democrats? Is it because they love the way Republicans have been treating them?

    Oh, for crying out loud, that's not what I said nor is it what I even implied.

    This has been several years ago, but when myself and 2 other guys were looking for a house to rent, we found one in the Gateway area at 110th and Siskiyou. The owner was very hesitant to rent to 3 guys (we were all in our mid to upper 20's and then he calls my other roommate and tells him if we can put down a deposit quickly he would rent to us because he had a black couple wanting to rent it and he didn't want to rent to them. The same thing happened a few years later when we were renting a house in the Madison area off 85th just south of Fremont and once again we got the place because the landlord admitted he didn't want to rent to some black people that were also interested. Sad, but true.

    Portlands on that list. So would you please clarify? Maybe i misunderstood? Sounded like you were saying those are all democratic cities because they were fed up with the downtrodden republicans?

    Where in his post did he say Portland? For a guy that claims other have reading comprehension issues, you sure seem to have many as well.

    Aha, wife threw you out, eh.
    I've never had it that bad.
    Me? Oh sure, the couch once in a while but never the boot. Typically its the frying pan treatment and all's well.
    Mind your Ps and Qs mister.

    The power lies in the Federal and State governments. Nowadays, Trump is claiming tremendous power.
