A Georgia court has ruled in favor of the KKK in a discrimination lawsuit.
A Georgia court has ruled in favor of Marshall Saxby, the Grand Wizard of a local KKK chapter, in a lawsuit stemming from two years ago when a local bakery denied him service.
The three judge panel concluded unanimously that the bakery had violated civil rights laws by discriminating against Saxby when they refused to sell him a cake for his organization’s annual birthday party.
Elaine Bailey, who owns Bailey Bakeries, refused to bake a cake for the ceremony because it violated her religious beliefs.
Saxby filed the lawsuit claiming that Bailey’s refusal of service was discriminatory against his religious beliefs.
The case is similar to the recent decision in New Mexico where a court has ruled that a photographer discriminated against a gay couple for refusing to provide them service.
Bailey said in a prepared statement, “it’s a sad day when bigots have to be treated equally before the law. If they can discriminate against people, then surely I cannot be forced to support their beliefs by providing them services against my will.”
Saxby was very happy with the outcome, stating “the law says that it’s wrong to discriminate against people if you run a business, and that means she was wrong in discriminating against our organization by refusing us service.”
People on both sides of the issue have had varying remarks.
One man stated “I am against anti-discrimination laws. Freedom means people are able to do what they wish with their lives and property. Society can punish bad behaviors in a market, but the power to take away from someones life as if it did not belong to them is frightening.
Another person familiar with the case responded “This is not the same as denying service to someone based on the color of their skin or sexual preference. This was a choice by the owner of the bakery to not serve someone based on their bigoted lifestyle, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
Many wonder that if she had simply lied about her reasoning, would this have even been an issue. That leaves the question to the public, do they want discrimination to happen out in the open where people can pinpoint it, or do they want it to operate a cloaked manner where it happens but it’s hard to tell who is doing it?

Bigot isn’t a protected class or religion.
It is 100% legal to discriminate against blacks as long as it is not in the form of a business or government.
If this wasn’t so, the majority of America would be in jail at this very second.
EQ whiz
so that means you don’t get protection, right?
Lou Ann, it’s pronounced “EH-kwis”. It translates from Latin as “horse”, and is the name of the genus of animals in the family Equidae (“EH-kwi-dee”), which includes horses, donkeys, and zebras.
Dear Thomas: “ae” does not make an “ee” sound in Latin. It makes an “aye” sound. If you’re going to be a pedant, you should probably know what you’re about.
Source: I studied Latin.
Webster’s: \ˈek-wə-ˌdē\.
your the bigot
“your” is not the contraction for “you are” as in “You’re an idiot.”
Define “bigot?” Anyone who disagrees with you?
Neither is homosexuality.
Is the judge a member???
what if he was a gay kkk member?…moron
I dont see anything wrong in being gay, But if you are in the KKK there is something wrong with you, I mean just because they are white they believe that they have to right to treat people of other colours like lesser beeings, treat them like they want..
They for sure cant be good christians, because as i remember god created every Man equal..
You guys are great, keep up the good work. I love a good bit of satire to start my day on and this site is on my list.
I’d bake them a cake alright but I’d doubt they’d be back for another 🙂
“we reserve the right to refuse service” – right?
You can reserve the right to refuse service to someone that is being disruptive or acting a fool… As in, for their personal behavior. Not so much if you just dont like how they were born.
You’re not born hating, lynching, torturing, and discriminating against people who aren’t the same color.
How ironic, the KKK, an organization based on discrimination wins a lawsuit for discrimination. Also the baker is discriminating against a discriminatory organization. If nothing else this story is amusing.
and very fake darling…it’s satire.
Sshh…
Let them figure it out for themselves (or not).
Makes.for.something of a surreptitious proxy for an IQ test…
And more entertainment for the rest of us.
One should consider that there are just as many (if not more) bigoted black, Hispanic and other racial groups. While I detest what the Clan stands for, I equally detest the hypercritical stance taken by people when this issue of the white race is brought up. And before any of you ignorant “race baiters” pop off at the mouth, I’m half “Native American.” My “people” wants ALL OF YOU, to get the hell out of OUR NATIONS!”
Your nation ? What nation ? Your people were weak and we took it from them. I suppose if you get off the rez and sober up you could come and TRY to take it back.
Don’t be such a douchebag… Instead of trying to understand and work with the natives of that time , they killed them and stoled from them. Wake up and smell the coffee. And if you are that tuff , go to the nearest reservation and spew your hatred. That is all.
Look at that. A crazy comment received an equally crazy response.
Your people fought for it and lost. Now, without even putting up a fight, it’s being taken from whites
What’s your indian name? Son of Pale Whores?
Your an oxymoron your only half, so there for you can’t say OUR NATIONS cause if your mom or dad’s ancestors didn’t come here you wouldn’t of even been born!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You for the Native American perspective!! I’m also waiting for the entire Native American population to demand the removal of the American Flag. If the Confederate Flag is a symbol of slavery to the African-American community, then isn’t the American Flag a similar symbol to Native Americans?? Did not the Federal Gov attempt to eradicate ALL Native Americans? Do not Japanese-Americans have a similar complaint after being forced into internment camps??
I personally don’t care for the Confederate Flag, but let’s be fair. And to do so means to be consistent, which means the American Flag should be dropped too!!
[…] KKK Wins Lawsuit Against Bakery For Discrimination, Refusal Of Service [continued] […]
I think this a hilarious case of irony. The law clearly states that no business open to the public can discriminate against anyone for any reason, whether one agrees with it or not. The Civil Rights law is double edged sword.
leftists, be careful what you wish for…
Which law says this? Please identify with specificity.
It’s ironic that when the aggrieved person is discriminated on the basis of sexual preference (they don’t serve queers), people get upset. But when a customer makes a different choice (to be in the KKK) the standard isn’t important anymore.
Some will say being queer isn’t a choice. But if homosexuality ISN’T a choice, then it’s a medical condition which may be susceptible to being cured. What? Queers don’t want to be cured? Isn’t that a little like someone with leprosy saying they don’t want to be cured?
Point is, it’s got to be one way or the other. Either it’s a lifestyle choice (and no different from the KKK) or it’s a medical condition (and we should be looking for a cure).
ARE YOU KIDDING!!!! I don’t need an argument to point out how stupid you sound!
Completely flawed logic, get off my planet!
So you are telling me that I cannot choose to be gay? I can’t choose to go out and have sex with other men if I wanted to? How is it not a choice for me? And who are you to deny me this choice?
I think the argument makes sense.
To start with, do you think being queer is a choice or a medical condition?
milk. You can have your choice, if you wish. But don’t expect special treatment (AA) and the right to offend normal people because you have decided to become a butt pirate. Respect other people’s rights without demanding preferential treatment.
Your argument assumes that homosexuality is pathological, i.e akin to disease. If you don’t start with a flawed premise,
you might be more effective at articulating your point. A more neutral and apt analogy is to compare homosexuality to left handedness. It was once considered to be aberrant and in need of correction, even though it is inherited. Now most rational people would acknowledge that, even if it can be “corrected” through training, why should it be. The expression of my genetics is not yours to judge or fix. Spend your energy becoming more informed and less judgmental. It would be a far better use of your time.
BambiB: Some people also choose to be stupid and ill-informed; others had no choice, being dropped on their heads as children. Which of those 2 categories do you fit in? Because in your case, it’s certainly either one or the other.
I see you have chosen to be stupid and ill-informed… but that doesn’t mean you weren’t dropped on your head as well. But keep trying anyway. Someday you may understand the difference between logic and an emotional appeal (though I doubt it).
BambiB said, ” What? Queers don’t want to be cured? Isn’t that a little like someone with leprosy saying they don’t want to be cured?” No, its like someone who smokes knowing it is killing them, but they don’t try to stop. Or like people who have been forced to be on Oxygen all the time (b/c of smoking), yet still smoking.
The APA (the organization that first said homosexuality was genetic) have been forced by current science to admit they lied about this. They now classify this sin as a mental derangement. But the damage is done, the media repeated the lie so many times people actually believe it and still use it as an excuse to say they are normal.
If we are forced to treat blacks equally, then you can be damn sure that we will be treated equally even if we hate blacks.
In no way, shape, or fashion will blacks ever have rights that all other people do not. Blacks do not deserve nor will they receive any special rights or privileges.
“Bailey said in a prepared statement, “it’s a sad day when bigots have to be treated equally before the law.”
Because some are more equal than others?
By law, every business must be willing to supply their service to all comers (as opposed to a private club, which naturally may admit only those they want). That’s the law. It’s part of what operating a public business means.
And, yes, that includes bigots (so long as they behave themselves and do not cause a disturbance). It is just as illegal to deny service to someone for being a KKK member as it is to deny him service because he is Black or Jewish or communist or whatever.
This has nothing to do with endorsing his views. It has to do with giving people their civil rights, even if they have disgusting views. If you are not willing to serve all customers, you shouldn’t be operating a business — just like you should not be operating a business if you don’t feel like obeying with food safety regulations.
Why this is even an issue I have no idea. The judges clearly made the right choice, and they did not “endorse” the KKK in any way.
Well said,skeptic!
Interesting how you compared being black to being a bigot seeing how being a bigot is a choice, and being black IS NOT a choice. Hmm.
Being black is not a choice, being gay is usually not a choice, but religion is a choice, and having beliefs such that one would join a group like the KKK is along those lines. Like it or not, the judge was 100% correct.
BS, Skeptic. Yes, the law says you cannot refuse to serve someone because of political or religious affiliations. However, the bakery was not denying the klan service, they were simply denying a particular type of service, one that they simply do not provide and should not have to. I guarantee you that if I owned a bakery and kkk grand pukehead came in and wanted me to bake a cake for his disgusting, inhuman organization I would tell him that he has until the count of 3 to get out of my store before I put a bullet in his head. The kkk are the lowest form of scum on the planet.
> The kkk are the lowest form of scum on the planet.
Almost. You forgot the Demoncraps.
I don’t agree with the decision. People have the right to associate with whoever they wish when ever and where ever.. The idea of a”Public” place is a phony construct created by liberals to give them the power to shove their moral beliefs down our throats. Government and its functions are the only Public activities. Everything else is private and should be treated as such. Our country and race relations would be a lot more advanced if we respected the right to associate. People have a right to love or hate anybody they wish for any reason. Who am I to judge what is truly in a man’s heart or mind. It is called freedom. We need to get back to it.
aha! but you can’t control people if freedom is ever present
Of course, you’re right. But the implication is that any business would be able to discriminate against anyone at any time for any reason. Black? Queer? KKK? Jewish? Catholic? Female? Any or all could be discriminated against.
The way things are today, the only group it’s “safe” to discriminate against is white, heterosexual males. The government does that all the time by giving “preferences” to everyone else. Not only does government encourage this discrimination – it demands it. But then, recently the government has only been reflecting the desires of the majority voting block: Women. That’s why our debt is $18 trillion, we borrow 40% of every Federal dollar spent and we’re facing $200 trillion in unfunded mandates over the next 50 years.
The 19th Amendment was the biggest legislative mistake in the history of America. It won’t be long until we see the results: Complete economic collapse.
This seems to be the crossover point between satire and trolling.
If only men were allowed to vote we would still get saddled with these dolts. Women aren’t to blame for their incompetence. I remain astonished by so many women’s wish to be in the workplace. The stress, monotony and occasional sense of achievement seem like an odd trade for forming the home and ensuring that the next generation is safe.
Men have no option but to go out to work, women don’t have to do it. Those who go out to work have a huge advantage over men. Those women can take it or leave it, hardly any men can.
I’m not saying there still wouldn’t be idiots in government. But the policies would be different. Read the research http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~iversen/PDFfiles/LottKenny.pdf
It is the women’s vote that has driven us into debt.
I agree with you on the women in the workplace to some extent. However, without an independent income, it’s difficult to be “independent”. “Independence” is at the heart of the lie women have sold themselves. “I am woman, hear me roar… but just in case, I want government welfare programs to subsidize me in a social safety net.”
Men DO have an option to not work. That’s what you’re seeing today. I recently read, “Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream – and Why It Matters” which chronicles the decrease in men going to college, entering the work force and getting married. As the male role is widely denigrated (even in commercial advertising it’s seen as acceptable to disparage men), men are retreating from the traditional roles. In general, the trend is towards video games and porn as a replacement – with jobs that provide for the bare necessities and no attempt at higher education.
I call it the “pussification” of America… but then, I’m not politically correct.

Wow, astonishingly ignorant comments here. How proud you idiots must be to show off your ill-thought out conclusions about women, blacks, whatever. Join the 21st century and stop embarrassing yourselves.
Peristalls: If ignorance is bliss, you may be one of the happiest people in the world.
Do the research. Try thinking for a change instead of just regurgitating the left-wing talking points. I’d be willing to give 100 to 1 odds you didn’t even read the research I cited. More… where’s YOUR research? The high-probability bet is you simply do not know what you’re talking about.
But that’s a recoverable position. Read. Learn. Think.
If you have command of a few facts your posts will be less puerile.
[…] How many of the progressives who favor forcing small businessmen and women to bend knee to them would approve of forcing the black florist to decorate a Klan rally? [Added: no, not so hypothetical.] […]
Regardless of the law, how would you answer the following, “If a business didn’t want to serve a black member of the NAACP would you have a problem with this, cry racism and demand the business owner kowtow?”. If you have a problem with one and not the other then in my opinion, you have a problem. I think business owners should be able to discriminate against anyone they wish to. Freedom!
Ironically, that’s pretty much what Rand Paul said (or something similar). Of course, the liberals all just about had heart attacks.
The way I look at it, a business that discriminates against customers/employees may just hurt itself. Imagine the world’s best salesman is black – and a business won’t hire him because of that. Doesn’t he just cross the street and work for the business’ competitor? Don’t customers who feel unwelcome just go across the street to buy from the competition?
On the other hand, if the black guy is a lazy good-for-nothing bum, should the company be forced to hire him? Should money be stolen from taxpayers to subsidize him? If the black customers are routinely stealing, shouldn’t a store owner be allowed to ban them?

aren’t cracker racists a protected minority yet?
if queers are protected, then cracker racists should also be protected. While discrimination on the basis of race or gender is problematic (because the person being discriminated can’t really do anything about their status), choosing to be a racist cracker or a queer should leave on open to equal levels of discrimination because both are choices.
[…] Popehat, Tribune Herald, Desert […]
[…] And, from an article entitled “KKK wins lawsuit against bakery for discrimination“: […]
Bambi B, you choose to be heterosexual, and no one is calling you an abomination, or mentally deranged. We could care less who someone 2 consenting adults sleeps with, as long as they aren’t out killing, stealing, and molesting our children, and hurting others with nasty ignorance like yours. We MEN, need to step away from politics and watch some football, my sisters and my mother are way smarter and always made better grades than my father and brothers. All it seems we have done is kill. Women know how to reason, they deserve a chance to fix this mess our past and current president has put us in!! Even the dumb ones like your mother, who obviously raised a moron, or is that your choice?
Being queer is either an aberration over which the victim has no control (and is possible a medical condition to be cured) or it is a lifestyle choice. If the former, then queers should be looking for treatment. If the latter, then there’s nothing wrong with discriminating against them that isn’t also problematic when discriminating against members of the KKK, who, after all, have only made their “lifestyle choice”.
My self and my family have been educated by the finest colleges and private Ivy League colleges in this nation, And 80% of my scholastic competition was from female students, who were at the top of our class. I am extremely aware of how much more socially and emotionally evolved women in general are. Of course they must first be allotted the rights to vote and read, which they were given 300 yrs. later than their male counterparts. And look at them go! All in the last 40 yrs!! I work with women every day in a highly powered political science arena. The more educated you become the more you will see what is oh so obvious to the elite, and that the majority of your minimally so called “researched” opinions about women in power, is just another opinion of one person and one author. He obviously is as warped, insecure, uneducated and threatened as you.
Good luck on your planet of denial.
Except that men and women do think differently. Research rather conclusively shows that women are responsible for racking up the majority of our National Debt. It’s also true that while the majority of college students today are female, women are still a distinct minority in engineering, physics and most other scientific and mathematical areas. Is this because they don’t want these in-demand, high-paying jobs? Or because they can’t do the work?
The College Entrance Examination Board had a real problem with this biological difference. It seems that their Physics Level II Achievement Test was clearly not “gender neutral”. The males were doing much better than the women. Significant effort went into trying to determine why this was and to gender-norm the test. What CEEB found was that women did as well, or better, on problems that involved rote application of computation to a known formula. But in problems where they were required to think abstractly, they failed miserably. In the final analysis, CEEB was faced with a decision: They could gender-norm the test (so that women men scored within the same distribution), or they could test the ability to do physics. They could not do both.
Thanks for sharing such a fastidious opinion, piece of writing is good, thats why i have

After reading these comments, I now know the reason for the current state of politics in America.
– On a side note, Spooner has really outdone himself with this one, LOL.
It’s an utterly fucked day in American history when an organization of ignorant
bigots wins a lawsuit on the grounds that a person operated their God given right to not involve themselves in the affairs of or contribute to an organization that violates their values and beliefs. Well, this is me, exercising my right to free speech under the Constitution. Get ready to fucking sue me. Fuck the KKK. Y’all are an ignorant lot of slavers defending your race from propagandized hatred.
You should chill with some real human beings, and NOT the dregs of humanity, black AND white. It would do you a world of good.
The KKK isn’t some harmless bunch of non-violent offenders. They still hang people for being black in the wrong place down south, then cry “reverse racism” even they’re chickens come home to roost.
They’re beliefs cause them to violate other people’s rights. They’re just a bunch of ignorant pussies with funny clothes on.
The fairies are bigots but I don’t see the liberals having a problem with that. Not trying to justify the Klan but as a cartoon was trying to show back in the early to mid 1990’s in a Rainbow Coalition newsletter: More blacks have been killed at the hand of other blacks than all of the blacks killed by neo-nazi and Klan members combine. The cartoon showed Klan members hiring black street and drug gang members to kill off each other. And that’s not to mention Plan Parenthood that was started by a member of the nazi party from the 1930’s and ’40’s who originally started it to kill blacks that the democrats today so proudly support. Do your homework. Since 1990, more blacks have been killed by other blacks than “all” of the blacks killed by the Klan/neo-nazi’s members since 1900.
The point needs to be rammed home that abortion on demand has been disproportionately heavy amongst African Americans. It is a genocide basically, that is fueled and supported by the liberal left.
Likewise if the liberal left were really concerned about gun control just denying all African Americans access to guns would reduce gun homicide in America by over 80%.
Things are not what they seem.
>> The point needs to be rammed home that abortion on demand has been disproportionately heavy amongst African Americans.
Let’s be glad for that.
Given the gross dysfunction of black society (51% of all homicides by 13% of the population), would you really want it to be 10 times larger? Too big a portion of the black population in American are ignorant savages. Among all groups of people, the percentage of violent criminals is highest among those who weren’t wanted as children. Better to abort them than to lock them up 16 years later for killing someone.

Being a racist a-hole is a behavior
Being a homosexual is also a behavior. (As is heterosexuality)
Both are choices, unless you believe that gays are incapable of controlling themselves.

What court? What town, county? What bakery?
It’s a made up story.
Freedom and Liberty for all is a double edged sword…….it ain’t a one way street like it or not, all people regardless of race, religious beliefs, sexual preferences, status, and ingonance have rights. America is good!
What a bunch of maroons. . .
The thing that is missing in this story is what was he wanting wrote on the cake. If it was offensive then noone should be forced to write something against their will.
Uh, Britt. Some people would find “Britt loves George” offensive. But that didn’t save the bakers from the queers.
Bottom line: If you don’t want to work for someone, you shouldn’t have to. The reason does not matter.
This is a religious matter, not a KKK matter. The KKK stepped in because the bakery was discriminated against. No one else would stand up for them. Religion has rights just like everyone esle
Sandra: That’s a great point. Nobody… would… stand… up… for… the… bakery.
Get that everyone?
The KKK is better than ALL OF YOU. (At least it’s standing up for freedom of association and against forced labor!)
BambiB You are 100% correct! I LOVE YOU DEERLY!!!!
it is scientifically impossible to be born gay. If there is a “gay” gene, then how would it ever keep being passed down if 2 gay people can’t make a baby? Look it up:)
Remember, this is what the Feds believe. Let them have their cause, we need only strip them of their purpose. In other words, those fighting for racial equality can do that. Equal rights for homosexuals fine fight away, religious freedom put the gloves on and step to the center of the ring. But all of you remember, if you lose the fight your cause will not go forward. Don’t even think about what motivated you to the ring at the start. “Equality for all.” You have the right to be gay, you have the right to be a white supremist and you have the right to fight to be treated as any other human being. But when you get so involved in pushing that idea that you lose focus on the word equal you began oppress others for their beliefs and for who they are. The Feds want this because as duress I’m sitting here they know they must increase the peasant class and decrease the middle class. Blacks claim white Americans are intentionally keeping them down. Homosexuals claim it’s the religious crowd who are holding them back. But stop for a minute and think! Really, the biggest case for discrimination today is Michael Brown? A case of a black man who just robbed a store and attacked a cop was shot? THIS is the best discrimination issue to showcase today? A person doesn’t want to sell cake to a KKK member? This is what SCREAMS religious intolerance through out the country? Or florist who refused to provide services to a gay couple? WELL all you homosexuals now MUST revert to being straight if the florist says so. Stores have posted forever “no shirt, no shoes, no service” forever; should the nudist now file suit against those businesses? Somehow the federal government is involved in all of these issues. Why? They created this mess why are we looking to them to resolve it. If you are looking for an answer to your problem, look anywhere except the place from whence the problem came. Focus on equality not forced acceptance. Each one of us need accept the fact someone isn’t going to like us because of something we do, believe, or at very least because of the way we appear. Someone is going to deprive of us of something that would be allowed or perhaps even deserve, if we were a little different. If you DESERVE it put the gloves on and enter the ring but if it’s a matter of “allow” just move on. Put your money somewhere else. Your rights are no greater than theirs. Stay focused, focused, focused! United we stand, divided we fall. We are falling but we don’t have to.
Let them eat cake!!!!!
THIS is convoluted and contradictory:
“Another person familiar with the case responded “This is not the same as denying service to someone based on the color of their skin or sexual preference. This was a choice by the owner of the bakery to not serve someone based on their bigoted lifestyle, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
So if someone decides to label someone a “bigot” then discrimination is ok with that person, but not in any other instance? LOL. Liberals really think that way. This is proof that liberals discriminate more than anyone else. They reserve THEIR right to discriminate against whoever they label as “bigots” but they won’t let YOU do the same thing or they label you a bigot and want to discriminate against you. Liberal “logic” makes my head hurt.
Sexual preference is exactly that a preference that some people decide to take part in. It in not genetic.
When it comes to law, what is law for one person is law for another. We don’t get to pick and choose who we think gets one treatment and who gets different treatment. Either businesses have the right to refuse service to whomever they choose or they have no right to refuse service to anyone. That is how law works. What is food for the goose, is also food for the gander. Personally, I think a business owner should be able to refuse service to anyone. It is up to us to decide which businesses we choose to support.
I think this down unfair these kkk got away with this.they already took The Rebel Flag and made it racist.

I wouldn’t serve your racist asses either. Fuck the KKK. 2015. Ain’t nobody got time for you stupid white racist asses.
I just have 1 question,and just to say im totally on the bakerys side,so my question is,If your a member of the KKK,why would you want a black person to make you a cake,i thought that was the point of your group and believes,im just sayin.
This is a fake story and hypothetical, but I’m on the bakery’s side too John (hypothetically). To continue your line of thinking, why would a gay couple want an anti-gay Christian bakery owner to make their wedding cake, when there are plenty of Christian bakers who have no problem doing business with gays. There are probably plenty of gay bakers, or even gay Christian bakers, who would also love to have their business. Forcing someone to do business with someone they don’t want to do business with is silly. The market will sort itself out.
that’s awful!!! I think a judge can’t work on this position and must be thrown to jail! The world doesn’t fight against such shit like KKK enough. We must fight stronger, and doesn’t leave racism any chance
Some of my friend and I got together today. We are going in Brooklyn to target Jewish owned businesses. We will order cakes for Adolf Hitler’s birthday and a swastika. Hope to get a few hundred grand with settlements. We even have a Jew personal injury lawyer.

Does the baker take orders online? I’d like to commission 20 “F**k the KKK” cakes.
WTF is wrong with this picture if they won the suite against the bakers where is the bakers first amendment come in play Freemdom of religion like WTF
I think that’s the whole point. If a christian baker can be forced (slave labor) to work for queers, then why shouldn’t any other baker be required to bake cakes for the KKK, the Nazi Party or even (**shudder**) The DEMOCRATS!

business owner, every individual should have the right of association and ability to refuse service or refuse association with anyone of their choosing. Capitalism has a way of sorting things out. I firmly believe that Christians have the right to refuse service to anyone. So does this lady baker. I am white and I would refuse service to the KKK. The point is, if a business serves enough people to remain financially afloat, then so be it.
Natural consequences and capitalism can sort out a lot. The federal govt needs to stay out of this. This Lady didn’t refuse service to white people, she refused service to an organization that promotes hate, bigotry and violence.
What happened to the signs posted in most businesses that list “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone?”

Well I suppose that the KKK can argue that racism is an inherent trait. Maybe there is a KKK gene?
More likely, it’s just an expression of the inherent trait of generalization. For example, if one recognizes that 13% of the population is black, and that 13% is responsible for 51% of all murders, one might logically conclude that blacks are 400% more likely to commit murder than the rest of the population.
Oh wait. That’s not racism.
It’s statistics.
Never mind.
I’d bake their cake. BUT I would include a curse along with it, written on the cakeboard itself:
“”Cursed shall you be in the city and cursed shall you be in the field. Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading trough. Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, of your land, of the increase of your cattle and the young of your sheep. Cursed shall you be when you come in and cursed shall you be when you go out. The Lord shall send you curses, confusion, and rebuke in every enterprise to which you set your hand, until you are destroyed, perishing quickly because of the evil of your doings by which you have forsaken God. The Lord will make the pestilence cling to you until He has consumed you. The heavens over your head shall be brass and the earth under you shall be iron. And you shall grope at noonday as the blind grope in darkness. And you shall not prosper in your ways; and you shall be only oppressed and robbed continually, and there shall be no one to save you. You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her; you shall build a house, but not live in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but not gather its grapes. So that you shall be driven mad by the sights which your eyes shall see. And you shall become an amazement, a proverb, and a byword among all the peoples. All these curses shall come upon you and shall pursue you and overtake you till you are destroyed. They shall be upon you for a sign and for a wonder, and upon your descendants forever.”
They would never be back for another cake. Ever.
As soon as the courts deemed that Christian bakeries are not allowed to “discriminate” against gays, now NO ONE is allowed to choose who they will or won’t serve. Everyone MUST accommodate everyone else; UNLESS YOU’RE MUSLIM!
Bigotry is a two way street, he showed his, she showed hers, right wrong or indifferent
, it’s the way life is. I was raised to never lower your self to their level and that is what the business did when they refused service based on her beliefs. Two wrongs don’t make a right, the business became no better than the member when they threw that stone. 😦
I have commented on this subject before. This is a reverse situation, but, my view still stands. Let the owner refuse service and if she is considered wrong by the public, she will suffer monetary loss. If the KKK really wants a product done right, they should take their business to someone who supports them. (If they can find anyone) If not, they can make their own cake. How hard can it be to make a dunce cap ?

Anyone who believes it is okay to discriminate for a service in some cases and not in others is a hypocrite. –Non-discrimination laws against private businesses are just wrong. No forced servitude is no forced servitude and such is in the U.S. Constitution.
No both the order for the cake was racist harassment by the KKK and the court ruling was racist as well. But the everyone knows races is alive and well.The guy thing is that few long term white families in the South don’t have a bit of black in their blood line and that would include most the the KKK members themselves. Unintentional interbreeding, along with intentional interbreeding has been going on in the South for centuries. Even as far back as the revolutionary war and before Europeans used to chuckle about the high humber of light skinned Negros. Most slave owners had far more black decedents than white descendants. most ladies living on the plantations were embarrassed by the huber of lack kids with their husbands features on the. As they became whiter, they married back into the white families. As for white families elsewhere, unless your family is only two generations in the United States, you never can be certain how much black blood you may have in you.
I don’t gv a damn what you want
While it is gratifying to see the Left get a taste of its own medicine, we should recognize that having “civil rights laws” that are treated in jurisprudence as if they were superior to the freedom of association is both stupid and legally invalid.
The freedom of association is protected by the Assembly Clause of the First Amendment, and it is therefore part of the Supreme Law of the United States. The civil rights laws are merely extrusions of various Acts of Congress, and these are inferior to, not superior to, the US Constitution, as amended.
Sacrificing the freedom of association to civil rights laws, which (most of the time) are used to empower minorities and the leftist agenda, is also stupidly immoral. It compels one person to associate with another and the other’s demand, whether or not he wants to. It requires a worker to put his paid labor in the service of someone he’d rather not work for, and his reasons are, or should be, irrelevant.
Whether I’d rather not build your house, or bake your cake, because I think your nose is too big, or because I don’t like your race or religion, or because I don’t approve of your behavior in the bedroom, is not important. What is important is this: I don’t want to work for you. I don’t want to associate with you. I should not be compelled by law to act contrary to my own will, provided that I do nothing to inflict harm on you. I should be able to conduct my own business as though you did not exist. I should have the right to ignore you and anything that you might demand of me.
I never comment on these things but i would like to join the “bigots.” I sure wish the KKK would be more active in our community considering its them who are going to get rid of the races bringing drugs and crime into our community. This bakery probably has no crime, and this is the only thing that is going to have that town talking. All thanks to the KKK being present!
Wanna talk about bigotry, prime example. Idiots that want anti decimation laws passed to “protect” them from any form of discrimination cry like babies when it blows up in their face after given a taste of their own medicine. Bigot is a word that 90% of the people that use it, have no clue what it means but they play that card just as much as they play the gay card and the race card because “they can”. It suits the idiot(liberal) agenda.
[…] KKK wins lawsuit against bakery for discrimination […]
“The case is similar to the recent decision in New Mexico where a court has ruled that a photographer discriminated against a gay couple for refusing to provide them service.”
I think the question would be when the KKK party planners told the bakers that they have a religious belief in celebrating birthday parties with soft, sugary, food substances. If they never told the bakers that the party was a religious event…???
But what would a semi-retired, eccentric art photographer like myself know about the nuances of the law in regards to public accommodation? I’m not a public accommodation. If you want me to be your wedding photographer, and you shouldn’t, you have to know me very well to even ask. I would show up at your wedding and do as I please. You might not even be in any of the photos.
And that’s why you should hire an actual wedding photographer…
In the New Mexico case, the photographer told the gay couple that because of the photography businesses owners religion, they didn’t want to “endorse” that Gay couples can look happy and loving. The religions, or lack of, of the Gay couple were not brought up, that I can remember..
If memory still serves, a refusal to serve the KKK argument was brought up, and the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled…
Ah, here we go. Right from the source itself. http://www.nmcompcomm.us/nmcases/nmsc/slips/sc33,687.pdf

Elane Photography also suggests that enforcing the NMHRA against it would mean
that an African-American photographer could not legally refuse to photograph a Ku Klux
Klan rally. This hypothetical suffers from the reality that political views and political group
membership, including membership in the Klan, are not protected categories under the
NMHRA.See § 28-1-7(F) (prohibiting public accommodation discrimination based on
“race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity,
spousal affiliation or physical or mental handicap”). Therefore, an African-American could
decline to photograph a Ku Klux Klan rally. However, the point is well-taken when the roles
in the hypothetical are reversed—a Ku Klux Klan member who operates a photography
business as a public accommodation would be compelled to photograph an African-American under the NMHRA. This result is required by the NMHRA, which seeks to
promote equal rights and access to public accommodations by prohibiting discrimination
based on certain specified protected classifications.
{56}
However, adoption of Elane Photography’s argument would allow a photographer who was a Klan member to refuse to photograph an African-American customer’s wedding,
graduation, newborn child, or other event if the photographer felt that the photographs would cast African-Americans in a positive light or be interpreted as the photographer’s
endorsement of African-Americans. A holding that the First Amendment mandates an
exception to public accommodations laws for commercial photographers would license
commercial photographers to freely discriminate against any protected class on the basis that the photographer was only exercising his or her right not to express a viewpoint with which he or she disagrees. Such a holding would undermine all of the protections provided by antidiscrimination laws
So is this similar?
Now that I think about this, this looks very much like a hoax.
A person should be allowed to use their business to serve what and who they choose. If a black store owner didnt wanna serve me because Im “white”, would I be upset? Yes. But thats no excuse for me to sue them. You have no right to not be offended. If I want, I can boycott if I so choose. I can certainly take my money elsewhere. The black store owner’s view may be wrong, but one of the things about America proper is that you have a reasonable right to be wrong. Government telling you who you must serve is just bad as telling you whom you cant serve.
I suggest if the KKK wants to have a cake baked for them, they take off their stupid looking hoods and robes and act like decent human beings instead of the trash they are.
Hey, Nate, we can tell what you are by the name you have chosen. Real classy….NOT!
This is a hoax people. No such case.
I don’t understand why they didn’t simply make the cake and charge them $5500.00 for it. The bakery would be ok to charge what they because there’s no law against it. He would have left and problem solved.
SNOPE IT!
Its BS, people. Stop perpetuating BS by reposting without researching.

When we start chipping away at the little things we have had rights for, it opens the door for bigger things.
If someone doesn’t want to serve you….
GO SOMEWHERE ELSE….
Simple.
People of all race’s , religions and walks of life need to shut – up and move on.
The gay population is so small anyway, it’s not them pushing it.
If ppl who run a business want to turn away gays, then they should turn away fornicators and adulter’s also.
If I go to a bakery owned by a Muslim and he knows I’m a Christian, and they say No’, we will not bake for you!
I would say ‘COOL’. Have a nice day!
And move on.
It wouldn’t hurt or cost me anything !
See, how simple.
Race
Majority of black people I have rsn into in last 6 months, have been overly nice.
Most black’s disagree with Riots
And the treatment of all abusive officer’s.
No matter who was here first or who was first slave’s , which were white ppl, then native americans, mexican’s then Asians, then black people.
The meanest and hard core slave owners were BLACK, in America.
Very few white dlave owners whipped their slaves.
You never hear about all the land, plantations,animals etc… Given to slaves upon owner’s death.
I have never ever seen march or protest without other races in there.
Black people never see positive
Some not all, only see themselves as victim’s. Always will.
Noel,
“Very few white dlave owners whipped their slaves.” I am curious on what information you base this. My family was Southern for three hundred years, most still are. I would ever be crazy enough to claim such a thing not even of our own family members that owned slaves because there would be no way to bad such a statement up.Slaves were considered property, sort of expensive livestock. They represented the major portion of a plantation owners wealth. They were not even considered to be fellow humans. I admit I cannot begin to understand the mindset that allowed this to be. But if you truly believe that you can own another human being, you are certainly to going to care what others might think about how you use your own property. We still see this attitude with how some people treat their children, girl friends and their wives. Like slavery they ail back it up using the Bible.
Your post was almost intelligent until you tossed in your little blanket Bible statement. You’re true colors are shining through!
Entered a nail salon and noticed that several signs read …can refuse service…when I asked why there were so many signs I was asked to leave or they would call the police…is this legal and what can I do?
It would be interesting to know if other cases test the limits of what actions the courts believe they have legitimate authority to impose on an individual.
Can the KKK request, and the courts coerce, the baker to decorate the cake with text or images he or she finds offensive ?
Could an african american baker raised during segregation, be forced to use his/her talent to draw a burning cross or write text praising the KKK for some particular “success” in executing their bigotry? Being denied the right to choose who to work for, and exactly what work to do is clearly an oppression of individual liberty and basic freedom.
Could the christian baker in NM be required to draw some suggestive images that cause h emotional discomfort?
We sacrifice too much in an effort in force others to associate against their will.
[…] What would it look like if these discrimination laws were applied in a consistent way? A musician would be forced to write, record, and perform music with which they disagree. A sculptor could be forced to take on a project that goes against their political, religious, or aesthetic sensibilities. An African American could even be forced to make a cake celebrating Adolf Hitler. Oh, wait that last one actually happened in August of 2013. Below is a paragraph from The Tribune Herald […]

Here’s a solution for all bakers who wish to refuse service based on discrimination. Simply and “accidently” exchange the sugar for salt. At the most, you’ll probably have to return the money after the clients comes after you for ruining their party. Problem solved!
