    Only non-witches get due process.

      So what is the bad legal take?

      I'm still wondering whether this story has something illegal going on, or is it just not-nice?

      I mentioned public accommodations because I'm wondering if that applies somehow. Does it? I don't think so, I can't find any reference to it.

        Somebody being a fucking knobhead isn't actually illegal, but they're still a fucking knobhead.

        I was only joking

          The man died and the body is turning green like all other corpses in the god damned cemetery. Didn't management get the memo?

            Apparently downplaying racism as not nice and defending it with flimsy legal references is really important.

              The cemetery is private, not public. I don't know if public accommodation law would apply.

              BTW, knowing the folks up in Oberlin, if they really didn't want him in there, they'd just dig him up and sit the body off in the piney woods.

                Yes, sorry, without all the facts, calling it not nice is kind of harsh.

                  Perhaps you could settle for 'occasionally racist'?

                    Indeed it does. Just like for the restaurants.

                    I provided a helpful link above defining public accommodation.

                      While distasteful, old habits die hard. This sort of thing is to be expected. It is not indicative of systemic racism and frankly is not a real big deal.

                      Unless of course you favor the approach of ruining anyone who does not comply.

                                Doesn't anybody find it the least bit surprising that a cemetery could have this rule in place for decades, and apparently nobody noticed until now?

                                        @aqua-letifer I believe that is exactly what happened, is it not?

                                        Copper's calling for continued segregation.

                                        I'm calling for understanding the law, not just calling names

                                        I accuse you of ignorance

                                        That means a lot to me and it hurts me inside.

                                        Please love yourself.

                                          Saying this is a racist practice isn't name-calling, it's a statement of fact.

                                          The question is whether it is legal

                                          And of course we would like all the facts before making an accusation of something as not-nice as racism

                                          Did you know that there has been a discussion over the last several centuries about the relative importance of rights to free assembly, freedom of association and racism? Whether these activities are public or private makes a difference.

                                          There is a lot more to it than just screaming racism at people who don't have a racist bone in their body.

                                          But I must say we all recognize virtue whenever someone screams racism.
