From your own link. Reads To me like he doesn't want racism and bigotry within his workplace nor have his business receive negative attention from customers and the general public. Who wants to do business with a bad reputation? I don't. His business-his rules.

No way would I allow someone or someone's to block my way.

Has he said anything about Native Americans?
They could be next on General Trump's list of undesirables.

Anti-Trump =/= Pro-Hillary. I am sure some of the people that are in these protests supported her, but I think this is more about anti-Trump sentiment. One group trying to mobilize the protests and marches is Socialist Alternative. They are not Hillary supporters; they endorsed Jill Stein. I quoted b/c I just needed to make sure this point landed.

The GOP nominee has portrayed Mexican immigrants as rapists and murderers, accused a Latino federal judge of bias because of his ancestry, and suggested that most American Muslims are harboring terrorists. As for Native Americans, the Republican nominee has repeatedly mocked Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s claim of Cherokee ancestry by referring to her as “Pocahontas” while some of his rally crowds have erupted in war whoops.

I'm not thrilled with trump and I'm definitely no hil or obama fan but there's no way I'd be crying and throwing hissy fits and generally acting like an ass because my "savior" wasn't elected. Lord in heaven grow the F up. No wonder kids act like titty babies. They come from them and never grow up.

Look there's going to be assholes on BOTH sides who will act up. From whiny babies who couldn't teach or go to class because they were emotionally too fragile or those who feel blocking traffic is their right. The other side is going to have some troublemakers as well.

It'll settle down and life will go on. Or they can go to Canada if Canada will take them.

I'm not surprised at all. But things will settle down and the welfare recipients, hired goons, and Starbucks/McDonalds workers will go back to wanting $15 an hour.

I do believe that Trump's supporters voted for him for a variety of reasons and not all of them have something to do with hatred of one kind or another, or the need to feel superior to whoever they consider beneath them.
However. It is clear that Trump's campaign made many Americans bold enough to shed their masks that hid all the ugly things that lived in their hearts all along. I understand that what's in those people's hearts often comes from fear and pure ignorance, but that doesn't make it any more tolerable to me.
And I'll be honest again and say that I feel some type of way about what I've seen and read these last few months.. I've always known that racism was still alive and well in our country, but I'm still shocked. I am sad. Even I thought we were better than this, as a whole. I've lived among racists all my life, but I still believed they were just a very small minority. Now I know there are many.
To have a President who fuels these kinds of fires, who racists, sexists and homophobes see as their own kind... it makes me feel, I'll call it "uncomfortable". For the first time in my life I am "uncomfortable".

Just because we don't want opposite genders in our locker rooms or able bodied people on welfare or illegal invaders doesn't make people bad.

Well, I don't generally rely upon such partisan 'news' sources, but I can speak to subject matter, although I've not the time to verify your sources.
#1, rioting is not protest, break law and be subject to it.
#2, fabricating stories distracts from real victims
#3, threats need to be taken seriously and all hate speech strongly denounced
#4, protests are protected rights of free speech. From there see #1

I felt the same about Brexit in my country and the common denominator is racism and other differences surface when people are dissatisfied and look to blame their lot on others who are not the same as them.
Germany had a highly educated and sophisticated population but under duress they shed their values, morality is indeed relative.

For the first time in my life I am "uncomfortable". I agree. I think there are a lot of desperate people, and some of them bought into his spiel about fixing the economy. I don't think his plans will do it, and I think his policies will leave the country in worse financial shape overall. In my more compassionate moments I can almost feel sorry for them - because I think they are in for a world of hurt. But then I remember they were still willing to overlook his racism, misogyny, and a host of other disgusting behaviors. Not to mention the fact that he is utterly unqualified for the position. I have never really had a particularly optimistic outlook, so I can't say I am surprised by some of the sentiments spouted during the campaign. I never bought the notion that it was a super small minority, just that most people knew enough to hide it, or that their forms of racism were more passive.

You can't look to those type of sources for 'as much or more' determinations. They will only print one kind.

I don't think it's racist to want illegal invaders out. I don't think it's racist but smart to carefully "vet" anyone entering this country and that they are healthy and self supporting. If not-no entry. I don't think it's racist that no able bodied person should receive any form of welfare. I'm hopeful that this nonsense will end but I doubt it will.

I'm not sure this analogy is going to translate exactly, but It's not racist to deport illegals. It's racist not to recognize that Obama has deported more illegals than anyone before him.
