    Gotta love the leftist nutter businesses and opinions. As long as any person, bank, race, creed, whatever attacks something they hate which is anything they don't agree with then it's A-OK. No matter how stupid it is.

    These banks are off their rocker just like Google and the social media entities. Businesses need to stay neutral on social issues as far as how they conduct their business on a day to day.

    They will see soon enough their folly

    It annoys me that you're not informed so here read this: https://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-what-wells-fargo-did-to-trigger-a-1-billion-fine-2018-04-20

    As far as the discrimination part, the leftist hypocrisy never ceases to amaze.

    When a Muslim bakery doesn't want to make a gay wedding cake you guys defend it, when a Christian baker does the same you scream hate crime.

    When a cop gets kicked out of a restaurant you guys defend it, when two Black loiterers get asked to leave you guys scream hate crime.

    When two banks launch a bigoted campaign of discrimination against guns you defend it, but I bet if they announced a policy that said credit cards couldn't be used to pay for abortions you'd be in the streets rioting.

    Ok, having moneynforcibly taken forminsursnce, when the customer has provided proof of insurance, is wrong. And they are being punished for it.

    You need to learn the difference between illegal discrimination, and legal discrimination. Banks doing business with a company, is in no way similar to a Muslim or Christian bakery which is a public accommodation.

    So discriminating against gay people shouldn't be illegal?

    Why do you keep asking questions I’ve already answered?

    Based on your twisted logic, the NRA and all it's members killed 17 Parkland students. And recently killed 4 Waffle house patrons.

    Nope because the NRA has never advocated people use their guns to kill innocents.

    David "Lil Hitler" Hogg, the Parkland Pukes, and the DNC anti-gun crusade however have encouraged kids to walk out of school.

    Well, this kid did and he was killed because of it.

    If Hogg, the Pukes, and the DNC hadn't encouraged him to ditch school he would be alive today.

    They encourage gun use. Some of which are used to kill people.
    No one encouraged a kid to walk into oncoming traffic.

    I've even seen the hateful RWers in these forums, call for using 2A rights to settle issues. Didn't one of your little missy's call for 2A rights, and then a legislator got shot.

    yep, filthy Democrats Bill Clinton and Henry Cisneros systematically inserted the government into the private mortgage business with their fascist "National Homownership Strategy", while despicable Democrats Maxine Waters and Barney Frank were sent out to claim 'all is well!'...'nothing to see here!' (and label anyone who expressed concerns racist bigots!)

    He is just trolling. That or serious TDS.
    That is a somewhat hard to answer question. The practice is certainly not good for society and as I understand the law is illegal. However, freedom (which we don't really have) is what it is.

    Muster the Militia! Grab gun lovers, not guns! We have a Second Amendment and should have, No Security Problems in our free States.

    So it seems you're not mature enough to have a grown-up debate. Probably because I nailed you on your hypocrisy.

    So just keep stonewalling I'll let you have the last word since it's so important to you.

    How about then if government stops underwriting mortgages and student loans. I mean, that is interfering with private business, isn't it?

    Shouldn't the government not have contracts with banks anyway? Shouldn't the government do its own banking matters and not involve the private sector?

    Obviously it is up to we-the-people thru our elected representatives to decide what corporations the government does and does not do business with. If a majority of our elected officials vote to not do business with certain banks, that is for how our government works "the will of the people."

    Banks have no right to DEMAND the government do business with them. There are no civil rights against discrimination in relation to corporations. We, the government, anyone, can discriminate against and refuse to do business with any bank. In fact, it is bizarre for any bank to demand the government HAS to give them contracts.

    Bank of America pretending the care about ordinary Americans is absurd. When Bank of America is running low on cash flow, they literally will refuse to honor charges customers make, falsely informing the other party the account lacked sufficient funds - without notifying the customer they did so. That practice has cost us some serious lost income more than once as the other party believes we are broke and won't do business with us anymore, when we had 100 times the amount of the charge (reoccurring charges) in Bank of America.

    Bank of America doesn't care about people. Never has. Never will. They care about money and power, nothing else.

    Sorry, you keep asking a question I’ve already answered. You can not like my answer, or you can continue pretending I didn’t answer your question, but that doesn’t change reality.

    What would you say if the banks were trying to ban some other right?
    What would you say if in order to do business with a bank the bank demanding customers stop voting Republican, or stop supporting global warming, or businesses must pay a minimum wage of $20 an hour, or businesses only serve Christians?

    The issue is that some businesses are trying to abolish certain rights they do not like.
