But hey, there's nothing wrong with this. After all, people don't have a right to be free from persecution, do they?

    Fifty years ago the comments would have been highly offensive. (At least I think so, I'm 39 y/o.) 20 years ago they would have been Beavis and Butt-head-ish. Now they're just nonsensical. If someone being a stupid jackass is considered persecution, persecution will never end.

    Please explain to me what makes the "white people" fountain superior to any other fountain?

      Nothing in particular, as far as I'm aware, but people should not be segregated based on race.

        They should if they want to be, but it should be up to the individual.

        I won't drink from any public water fountain, anymore. I'm just trying to figure out why the idiot would, in this day and age, think a whites-only water fountain would be any less vile than an anybody-who's-thirsty water fountain...
