    Then why doesn’t someone go and create a company to hire all of that untapped non-white talent, surely they’d be running circles around their competition…

        Right, so if race is irrelevant, any company who’s willing to hire race-blind would be able to easily outdo all of the racist ones by hiring the people others won’t. What part about that are you not understanding?

          We had that. We had it for decades and it obviously worked great. Now the racists are back in charge, they’re burning it all down and propping up pathetically incompetent white conservatives. The racism experiment already ran for centuries in this country, and clearly demonstrated the idiocy of it. But bigots never get sick of trying it. Racist businesses will fail, yet again. What about that are you not understanding?

            If racist businesses will fail on their own because racism is not sustainable, why does there need to be a law against it? Let them fail of their own accord. It might take a while, but if you’re right, they most certainly will.

              You’ve had this explained to you endlessly already, but you’re determined not to understand. It’s because the point of society isn’t to root for bad businesses failing. It’s to ensure the just treatment of all people. If you don’t have that, you do not have a civilization. You just don’t care about that because you care more about pretending to be superior than about cooperating to build a society of value.

                Isn’t it justice for bad businesses to fail?

                  LOL wut?! Businesses aren’t people.

                  No, the market does not give a flying fuck about justice. That’s why we have a government.

                  The business owner will get rich, kill the company, then sell off the tattered remains, all while poisoning the groundwater – and the market won’t do a damn thing about it. The workers you don’t give a shit about deserve justice, good jobs, and fair treatment. That rich man deserves justice, to have everything he owns seized, including losing his freedom. A business is a piece of paper. It can’t feel a goddamn thing.

                  You and the market would just let them get away with everything they do, so long as they got rich. Those robber barons absolutely love bigoted suckers like you.

                    Businesses aren’t people.

                    Where did I claim that?

                    No, the market does not give a flying fuck about justice. That’s why we have a government.

                    Wrong. Government meddling is in fact the main reason why the market doesn’t correct itself as fast as it could.
