Actually, Eisenhower's Executive Order 10450 is evidence of sytematic and official oppression.

No. As I've said, my issue comes when White gays try to use images and similarities to the Black Civil Rights Movement as a foundation to push forward their agenda.

I just don't see the two as being the same level, extent, degree of oppression.

Very long lines of very polite, friendly, patient people at my local CFA yesterdday afternoon. Enjoyed my chicken nuggets.

CFA consistently has the nicest employees of any fast food place out there, except on Sundays when you can't get anyone to take your order for love or money.

Raising Cain's has much better chicken, is open on Sundays and has Cain's sauce. One Love!

Why do people keep saying this? Based on how constant these statements have been, it sounds like more than commending a "good company" for "good service" and "good food."

It sounds like the common practice of an attempt at a dichotomy between the politeness of "those God-fearing folks who just wanted to use their First Amendment rights...leave us alone" versus the rudeness of "those other folks."

People are always picking on the polite God-fearing folks. The silent warriors. God has a blessing coming through for them.

Because we all know if the liberals were lined up at the KFC for a boycott Chik-Fil-A day, the whole city would have burned down. ;)

No, there weren't laws forcing them into servitude. That would have been silly, since there were laws imposing the death penalty for sodomy, at least in Virginia. Thomas Jefferson tried to liberalize that by drafting a law that would instead punish sodomy by castration, but that didn't pass the Virginia legislature. Until the 1960s, sodomy was a felony in every state in the Union.

I've never heard of them, and there don't seem to be any of them around here. :(

I will say, though, that having grown up in a family that did have some "rules" about what could and couldn't be done on Sunday, I like that Chik-Fil-A sticks to their principles about being closed on Sundays.

Those heathens. Those animals. How dare they go to KFC. Bojangles on mines, homie.

For the win.

Yes, but not unless that man told what he was doing and/or, some one knew and turned him in, then the likelihood of that man, or men, suffering the death penalty was not very likely. In essence, someone would have to know what was going on in the privacy of your home.

That is still not the same. I can't hide the fact that I am Black. Without even knowing one thing about how I am as a person, the very first thing you will notice about me is my skin color. My ancestors were forced into servitude and kept there by their skin color. An aspect of a person that can not be hidden.

Raising Cain's is another small, southern based fast food restaurant that started in Baton Rouge, LA on the LSU campus. They specialize in chicken fingers and "Cain's sauce" and are growing very rapidly. They have two, soon to be three, locations here in the Phoenix area already. There food is fresh and never frozen. Glad I have that option.

Are you still chasing yourself over this elementary concept that was tackled pages ago? LOL.

Yes...yes...we know that some things can be hidden more than other things. People should not have to hide them but the ability to do so can be considered a relative privilege in some contexts.

No...no...it is not the exact same thing. It does not have to be.

Now onto more important things: Bojangles or KFC?

Have you seen this? We were watching it last night and practically crying we were laughing so hard. John Goodman does a good Col. Sanders.

I have nothing against stores that are closed on Sundays. I appreciate that and all of my life I have patronized stores that are closed on Sundays.
