A business being open on Martin Luther King Day is Racist? That word has lost all its meaning.

More info at the Burlington Free Press which can't be posted on FR, their loss.

Send them to Re-Education Camp like the North Koreans who didn't show up to Dear Leader's funeral or who didn't cry loudly enough.

Funny how they chose a bank. I din’t see any business in my area closed for Martin Luther King Day. Grocery stores, hardware stores, home stores, restaurants, etc. all open normal hours.

It is because of things like this I don’t believe anyone when they pull the race card.

When we eat chicken, my wife doesn’t like the dark meat. I think it means she’s racist. ;)

It’s an election year, anything and everything is potentially racist. Cue Jesse Jackson.

I wonder how much these federal holidays cost us. Gotta figure, there are a lot of federal employees getting the day off with pay and they’ve made sure they’re all on Monday so they do get the day off.

TD Bank took over my local bank last year. At the time it irked me. Big bank takeover of small banks. Corporatism, cronyism, all that stuff, yada yada yada.

Well, I have appreciated the fact that they have more open hours - Saturdays for instance, and some holidays. Like today. And now that I know the NAACP has marched on a TD Bank for being open on MLK Day, I believe I will keep my account there. Not because I disrespect MLK. While I may not have agreed with his ideology as a whole, his accomplishments to bring true liberty to Black Americans is inarguable. But to tick off the NAACP for besmerching his memory by abusing it to bully businesses and other races and communities to submit to their agenda.

No, NAACP, we don’t bow to you. Thank you, TD Bank for setting a standard. I hope the way YOU honor Dr. King’s memory catches on, and supplants the way the NAACP SHAMES it.

and if bank doesn’t grant a home lone they’re redlining and if they give a loan to someone without the means to repay, they’re predatory lenders.

does that about cover it?

TD Bank? That’s Toronto Dominion Bank, a CANADIAN bank you clowns and a business. Almost every company here in L.A. is open except for the union-controlled post office and library.

I know what I would have said to them had I been a teller and I guarantee you it wouldn’t have been PC and would have gotten me fired, but I would have enjoyed myself saying it.

Sitting at my desk, working, at the bank I work for here in Alabama. The State of Alabama observes MLK’s birthday AND Robert E. Lee’s birthday on the same day.

We fear that if we open on MLK’s birthday, someone will accuse us of celebrating Robert E. Lee’s birthday. ;)

Rush talked about this very thing this morning. He said he will be called a racist because he worked today.
