Would racism stop you from doing business with someone?

[Fletch XXX]

I have noticed quite a few racists running around this forum.

Ive been emailed by people from this board to do business, replied, and then later saw them making some pretty harsh comments on the forum. Certainly, if they would say these things to me in person, I would back up and make my way for the door. And I would surely reconsider doing business with them if the racist comments were done in person, at a dinner table, or behind closed doors.

Call me whatever you will, but when you show your racist side on this forum, dont think people dont take note. Theres a few of you running around here mouthing off, like the racists you really are, and you actually have the nerve to email someone about business, when you have no idea what color I am? Maybe I have a black girlfriend? If I am white or black? You are some dumb mother fuckers thats for sure.

Really, I know people dont like Obama, fine, but theres a few of you on here that have showed a side of you that will definitely keep me from doing business with you. And if you think I am referring to YOU, then I probably am.

Anyway, just a thought.

Yes it effects how I do business. So does several other factors that people go out of their way to post about nearly non stop.
I know some will say that is stupid, that business is business and personal is a different level. I just feel I have my own morals and personal beliefs that I do not need to compromise to make a buck.

Money see's no color

I don't like doing business with people that I've seen in a bank and then when I called out their name they flat out ignore me, and then when I hit them up here to ask them why they ignored me they acted like it wasn't them.

Oh and yes, I don't like racism as well. I wouldn't do business with a racist.

its really about life experience, if you live behind a computer, or say something like hey i have 5 black friends or try and prove how you look at everyone the same, you probably wont hold the same opinions as someone who lives in the city and interacts with all types of people all the time.

there is a reason behind these opinions, its not because people are hateful or anything, its because over time you form opinions based on experience.

there is probably less than 5 people that matter in this industry that wouldn't take traffic from anywhere or anyone.. regardless of what they say publicly

[notoldschool]

I agree that there are some racist people on this board that are pretty blatent about it.

[Fletch XXX]

classic example.

Translated: because a black guy beat me up in highschool, and because a black guy stole my girlfriend once, and because I lost my job to a black guy, I now havee a reason to hate all blacks.

youre a perfect example to this LOL

And you prove it with those comments like that... life experience has nothing to do with racism. No matter how many blacks fuck you over, that doesnt mean the next one will... but go ahead and keep trying to spin it.

I would bet that over 50% of racist people have never even interacted with the race of people they hate.

[Eriic]

Who needs it? If you don't want to do business with a Bigot then don't! If the person hates you for being you then it is best not to deal with them cause they probably wouldn't even pay you after awards anyways.

Was it a girl named Zoe?

[HeadPimp]

I just try to not deal with ass-hats regardless of how racist they are...

btw...i know it isnt related but this chick is hot and is mouthing the words put it in my mouth

[RedShoe]

No it was a guy named FletchXXX!

I saw him in a bank by where he used to live and I was like, "Fletch".... (no reply), so I said it louder "FLETCH!!!" still nothing. "FLETCHXXX!!!" Nothing, he just ignored me.

So I came to GFY to see why Fletch was ignoring me in the bank and he said, he didn't go to that bank. But that's bullshit. I'm pretty sure that was him. Like 95% sure. Give or take a few percent. But a solid 80% for sure. 75-80.

[XPays]

it's always the same 5 or 6 posters here who spew racial hate- i ignore them. if they sign up to promote our program that is fine though.

I remember that.

It really was not us. Not even the right bank from what I recall. haha

[stickyfingerz]

Well since anyone that isn't voting for Obama must be a racist....

Unless someone is a "real racist" I don't care much. Biz is biz. I do biz with tons of people who's political mindset is the polar opposite of mine. Saying you won't do biz with someone over politics is stupid, and adds to the divisiveness of the country during elections like this. Its all a bunch of silly. imo.

[escorpio]

No way! I only do business with self righteous, politically correct people.

[robfantasy]

if you are against obama, you are a racist, plain and simple... right?

man I promise you, if that was me, I would've not given you the cold shoulder LOL

I can also assure you, since no one outside of the internets calls me "Fletch" I swear, if I ever heard the name being screamed in public, you surely see me look over my shoulder or at least give a "holy shit" look in the direction it came from...

we share the same "keep my face off the nets" mindframe, so youre one of the few id trust LOL

[RedShoe]

LOL!!
I know but if anyone could have doubled what I think Fletch mike look like.. it was this guy. He had Converse on and everything. LOL!

[marcjacob]

I have pulled links, I have decided not to work with people and I have put sponsors on a never promote list because of both racism and homophobia.

Morals come first. Sponsors are ten a penny. I make my money, I dont need to compromise my values.

[Fletch XXX]

LOL!!

[Warren]

If you guys need some new Converse let me know, I shoot for a Converse/Keds fetish website, I have around fifty pairs, no kidding lol.

[brassmonkey]

[Spunky]

Shank whitey

[Fletch XXX]

i stopped wearing the cons when nike bought em btw

been wearing vans only since

[WarChild]

I wouldn't hire East Indian contractors to build my house. Does that make me racist?

[Grapesoda]

No matter how many blacks fuck you over, that doesnt mean the next one will...

if someone got fucked over by EVERY BLACK PERSON they ever did biz with you say they should give the next one a chance? do you have any idea how fucking unrealistic that is??? seriously dude....

Saying everyone is the same is also stupid

I agree, politics really shouldn't matter to anyone.

Racism though should be seen as a character flaw. I'd be concerned doing business with someone who was. It shows ignorance and often times lower intelligence. Those can effect business.

[Iron Fist]

I'm only racist when CNN tells me I should be.

[Grapesoda]

hummm... if you walked through a door and got kicked in the head EVERY FUCKING time, would you be stupid not to go through that door again?

me personally, I prefer not to do 'close' biz with guys that cheat on their spouses.

as far as 'color' goes, 80% of the people I do biz with is in the form of email. I don't check to see what color they are. I do biz with people that have biz to do.

it really is JUST that simple. thanks for playing and congratulations to the winners!

I think the definition of racism is those concerned with race. I don't think it means disagreeing with non whites

(I could be wrong)
