I'm not interested in cutting hair.  If he serves white people, he should serve black people, equally.


Oh, I thought you were concerned black people couldn't get their hair cut.  You just want to force people to conform with your personal beliefs.

So, you're saying - as a business owner he can choose which customers to serve and which not to, correct?

So what about discrimination laws?  Serving men only - not women. Whites only, not blacks.

Is that the general rule now?  As a business owner, can I choose which customers I want to serve?

That's great news, I hate serving those pesky women in the bar.  Women make the worse drunks.


We are advised NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.   Funny how that works.

they probably wouldn't want him to touch their hair....I work with folks of the african decent....the ladies ALWAYS
ask if so-and-so knows how to do black hair....doing hair is 'art' of sorts....I'm not sure if the guy is racist. never met him.

but there IS a concern from folks, white/black/curly/straight hair, that want someone who is skilled at that texture to
cut/curl/color etc PROPERLY.....

asian hair is different from african hair is different from naturally curly hair is different from thin hair is different from thick
hair etc....


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Most barber shops expertise along the lines of race, I don't know anyone who is offended by it. There are many black barber shops that if I walked in they would look at me like I had two heads, I would rather them be honest and say they don't do white peoples hair then to attempt it and screw it up. Think of it this way, would you bring your Chevy truck to Mohawk Honda to get it repaired?

Moving to guilderland Ave.....yes?


Yes. The article's title says he's moving, and if you carefully read it, you will find that he is indeed moving to Guilderland Ave.


I'm an enigma, even to myself.

Natural law says yes, as an individual and rights to your property you can serve who you wish to serve.  Doing so, you run the risk of excluding customers and losing money. What a government can't do is institutionalize discriminatory laws and force individuals and private property owners to serve only certain individuals.  That was the Jim Crow Laws; the LAWS MANDATED that businesses have separate seating, bathrooms, water fountains etc based on race.  So in the case of Jim Crow Laws, a private business was in violation of the law if you DIDN'T practice discrimination.

Nobody seems to get that he is is tongue in cheek. Barbers usually specialize in cutting white hair of black. As a child, my family and I knew and Italian guy who had course, wavy black hair. It was thick and like brillo pads. He was forced to get his hair cut at a black barber shop on Albany st or something many years ago. White barbers werent equipped to do it well. They would NOT cut his hair. It wasn't his race, it was his hair which was basically like what African Americans have on their heads. Maybe now it would be different, but back in the day like when Jim went to barbering school, you learned one way or the other.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

He shouldn't have to learn how to cut black hair....how dumb. Does that mean he has to carve all the odd symbols and numbers and face designs some want in their head too?
