Alright folks... this is one that I think merits discussion. Here's the synopsis: A bakery in OR closed at 9:00, and turned off their "open" sign. At 9:06 a woman came into the bakery and was told that the bakery was closed and she couldn't order anything. There were a few people in the bakery who were finishing up their business from before 9:00. Two other people had come into the bakery after 9:00, but before 9:06, and had also been turned away. But they were white, and the employees were white... and the patron at 9:06 was black. The owner of the bakery fired the two employees as a result of them being accused of racism.
To me, that seems like a swing way too far to the other side of things. It seems grossly unmerited.
