There’s a Chick-fil-A in Philadelphia that’s actually open on Sundays. Only one I’ve ever seen do so.

“Someone please explain this to me.”

We don’t like you because you’re not black. Give us money, you terrible racist person, you. Oh, and change whatever it is we are demanding that you change, too.

That’s the basic summary of most such actions.

“In a copy of the complaint provided by the NAACP, Hoffman, Milner and the clinic were said to “invoke their religion” in order to engage in “disparate treatment” of people of different faiths. It also alleges that the respondents failed to accommodate other religious beliefs.”

This makes no sense. Someone please explain this to me.

There’s been tension between the black community (and the Hasidic white community) and the growing Hasidic community in Rockland County for a number of years. This regulatory complaint looks like a byproduct of those issues and is probably purely local in origin. In other words, I doubt that it was sanctioned by the national NAACP.

I might ask what’s preventing other groups from opening medical clinics that are open on Saturdays. But that might open me to a suit from the NAACP.

Yet another way in which diversity might not be our greatest strength after all.
