Well ok, but how do you define "hatred?" Does opposing same-sex marriage make one a hater?(Buchanan and Ken Cuccinelli fall into this camp) Or is i just racist comments that would make someone a hater?


I'm biracial. He thinks people like me are unnatural. I feel pretty confident that this qualifies as him hating me and people like me.

But why should holding this view get his gym membership revoked?

Didn't you just finish your first year of college? Shouldn't you be slightly past this kind of simplistic question?

Here, I'll say it in conservative speak: the business doesn't want to be affiliated with Nazis. It is their right to discontinue having him as a client. Read the disgusting things tweeted to the woman who confronted him. It's a disgusting look into the underbelly of America. The gym doesn't want that kind of filth getting all over their gym.

Just finished up my last year at prep school. I'm headed to college this fall. I've already said I think it's the righ decision from a vuisness prospective. I just wish the leaders of this gym had a spine. Take a stand and lose some customers. Why did they ever let him join in the first place, if it's such a big deal?

Probably because they didn't know who he was at the time. Trump brought an awful lot of scum to the surface.

And you're defending him. You might look at that. Defending a Nazi and a traitor.

How? If he's not insulting them or hurting them?


The kid is a high schooler. Don't lower yourself to the discourse or logic of a child.

So no answer. In your Leftist mind, anyone who doesn't swallow the racial narrative must be crazy. Sorry to tell ya, but there are plenty of decent people who find critical race theory laughable.

Again.. you are being dense. His mere presence makes people feel uncomfortable, especially for minorities. DP. You must be a white guy. Your white privilege is showing. Even my white DH would leave if this guy entered the room. That, or confront his racist views.

Well how far do you wanna stretch the "comfort" thing? Again, let's use Buchanan or any opponent of same-sex marriage as an example. What if a gay guy felt uncomfortable around Buchanan at the gym because he opposes gay marriage? Should Buchanan be booted out? Where do you draw the line? If you're saying boot out white supremacists, that's understandable. But you have to be able to deal with people you're not comfortable around. That's a part of life.

Again, you are dense. Buchanan doesn't advocate for removing all gays from this country. I don't think you are aware of even half of what Spencer has stated.

And while I can deal with racists in a room, I wouldn't want to have to pay for being in a club in the same room with him. I'm paying for that membership. As a the gym owner, would I want to lose one member, or many.

Spencer can say what he wants. But the rest of us don't have to accept, listen or be in the same room with him. So, if I choose to take my business elsewhere, then the business owner would be smart to remove the person who is offensive.

And again, let's be clear. This is not about politics, but about someone who espouse hatred. Would you want to be in the same room with a person who wants to kick your kind of the country; who thinks you are a degenerate?[/quote]
I frankly wouldn't care unless he brings it up or tries to physically hurt me. I understand what you guys are saying, and I respect your position. I just don't like what the gym did. If they had kicked him and the professor out, I'd be fine with it.


Wealthy white high school kid writing from prep school. Clearly not enough life experiences or intellect to have empathy for what a minority group with a lifetime of experience in said situations may feel.


Not White. Middle-Eastern ethnically

I don't know what it is you want people to say here. OK, so you don't like the way they handled it. That's fine. You are free to feel that way. The rest of us don't feel that way, and we can all agree to disagree. If you are a member of that gym you can also tell management this very thing. I'm thinking however, that you wouldn't have the balls to do that.

Your prep school education put you in a bubble. You need to get out to Spencer country and experience their hatred.

Great. I just don't like it when certain posters say I have "underdeveloped brains" because of my views. Be civil please. I know I haven't been civil in past threads(especially the early ones) but y'all are quite a bit older than I am.

Prep school = high school. No need to put lipstick on a pig.

If you have Middle Eastern looks. Go to a Spencer event or a KKK rally.

The KKK is a loathsome organization. I'd never attend a Spencer event because I don't agree with him on most things.

I am not one of the posters who said you had an underdeveloped brain, but I think it was said because of your age, not because of your views.

And, I noticed you never acknowledged my post A) telling you that this is a private club, and B) asking you if you support the "religious freedom" that businesses say they have to discriminate against anyone they don't like.

Google it. As a teen (even into early 20s) your prefrontal cortex is not fully formed. Impacts logic. Teens see things in black and white

A private club can do whatever it wants. I don't disagree there. I just don't like the way they handled it. I'm not saying people should sue them. I do support the bakers who don't want to bake cakes for gay weddings. If we're going to have freedom, let's apply it to everybody. The gym can kick our Spencer, but stop suing bakers who don't want to bake cakes for gays, and stop complaining about all-male country clubs.

OK, so if you think a business can discriminate against people whose sexual orientation they don't like, why are you bitching and moaning about a business that discriminated against a person whose ideologies it didn't like? Nazis are not a protected class.

Point taken, but I don't think that's what that particular poster meant. Why would someone say something like that unless he meant it in a snide way?
