Comment on Mona: Court rules women’s-only exhibit must allow male visitors

A racist grocery store could be the only one in town. Sure you might not go to a racist bar, but what if the fire or police chief frequents that place?

That if about the police chief is doing some heavy lifting.

Hardly, there’s a rich history of using police to enforce racism. It’s still happening today in some areas.

That’s my point… it’s more likely that they are, than aren’t. Thus the “if they are going to the racist bar” is doing a lot of heavy lifting

You think it’s unheard of that a police officer can be a racist? Have you come here from an alternate timeline or something? If so can I come back with you?

God I wish.
The if, is if they frequent the racist bar. My point is that it’s more likely that they would frequent it, than not, thus the heavy lifting.
