Thread: Whittaker's Christmas Tree Farm in Crockett/Grapeland, Texas are not selling trees to Blacks

Started 1 year ago by cat_girl25
Advertisements [ ? ] Some White republicans are still po'ed. My guess is because we will have a Black president soon. What do you think? A friend of mine (who is Black) went to purchase a tree every year for the last 16...yes...16 years at this christmas tree farm. When she drove up, parked and walked up the hill to choose which tree she wanted, the young man...

Let's make him the worst person in the world and force him to sell trees to all buyers.

Tell her to DOCUMENT EVERYTHING, any way she can. Even go back and record it. She definitely has a lawsuit there and I'm sure plenty of lawyers would love to handle it. Especially the ACLU.

And this incident does not reflect most East Texans. The majority of them are good hard working people. It's just a few that makes the majority look bad.

Edited on Sat Dec-06-08 07:24 PM by fudge stripe cookays PARTS of it are like that. PARTS are not. Dallas recently elected a gay Latina sherriff. The inner parts of major cities are blue, and basically hold liberal attitudes. The suburbs do not. Just like the suburbs of ANY major city. It's called "white flight" and it happened lots of places, not just in Texas. Having "family" somewhere does not make you an expert on...

Getting to the common carrier argument though, I understand that a truly "private" business can sell to whom they choose, but if the business is held open to the public, then isn't the refusal to sell to customers based on racial criteria a violation of federal anti-discrimination law? For example, if the guy advertised at all, or even put up signs on the road or on his property?...

Edited on Fri Dec-05-08 09:38 AM by Erin Elizabeth if she called Ricky Smiley at 97.9, she'd be telling it ON THE AIR during his morning show. Tell her to call him, seriously. It was his morning show a couple of years back that did a big thing on how there was all that attention on the Holloway girl who was missing in Mexico, but there was an African American woman the same age who went missing right before her and the media didn't...
