    If capitalists are greedy for profit, why on earth would they hire unqualified people who look like them rather than qualified people who don’t?

        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?
