"Chicago flower company to customers: condemn racism or go somewhere else"

" A Chicago flower company is asking its customers to take a stance against racism – or take their business somewhere else.

"Visitors to the website of Flowers for Dreams are presented with a question in a pop-up: “Do you condemn racism, Nazism, and white nationalism?” If they select “Yes,” the website thanks them “for speaking out against hate,” and suggests they make a donation to groups like the Anti-Defamation League.

"If they select “No,” the website says: “Thank you but no thank you. We don’t want your business here.” Clicking “Goodbye” then redirects the user to the home page of the U.S. Holocaust Museum."

Make it so socially uancceptable to espouse these hateful views that they will go back into the closets and out from under the rocks from which they have skulked out.
