Leave it to the race pimps at NBC (who employ Al Sharpton) for find racism in everything. You know what NBC considers racist now? Cashless stores that only take credit cards. That’s now apparently a form of discrimination or something.

As more stores and restaurants get rid of their cash registers in favor of a card-only policy, there’s been pushback from some lawmakers who say not accepting cash is a form of discrimination.
Philadelphia is the latest community to reject card-only policies, with the City Council passing legislation earlier this month to ban the practice. Mayor Jim Kenney has 30 days to decide whether to sign or veto the legislation, which would require all cashless brick-and-mortar stores to comply by July 1. The New Jersey State Legislature has also passed legislation that would require stores to accept cash, and similar proposals have been discussed in Washington, D.C., and New York City. Massachusetts law requires all stores to accept cash and credit.
Sweetgreen, a national salad chain, is one of many companies operating a cashless service in Philadelphia.
“It seems unfair to me that I can walk into Sweetgreen, get a salad, but the person behind me that has the monetary unit the United States of America has used for centuries can’t get that same product,” Philadelphia City Councilman Bill Greenlee said. “That’s not intentional, but it is discrimination.”
