Racism is real, we know that. Another thing we know is that racism is very, very bad for business. Even more surprising is when there are businesses on the continent of Africa that are racist toward blacks. It just doesn’t make any sense.

Apparently, there is an uproar over a restaurant in Nairobi that doesn’t accept blacks after 5 pm. This video below describes the story and will probably leave you as confused as we are right now.

The managers actually say that their Chinese customers feel safer if black people are not around. They also say that they can be sure that none of their customers is a member of the terrorist group Al-Shabaab. They do claim that they have some Kenyans they welcome with open arms, but they do not accept just anyone.

It’s amazing. Take a look and give us your thoughts.

1. I predict this does not end well for that establishment.

First, OK, for those of you who don't know, Nairobi's crime is so legendary the city has acquired the nickname "NaiRobbery". Many high end hotels are completely fenced off and have a security gate where cars are searched before entry. When I was there on a safari, we were never left alone in the two days (one at the beginning and one at the end of the trip) we were there and not in the safari areas, we always had an escort and the escort was clearly on alert for anyone trying to rob us.

That being said, this discriminatory policy is ridiculous and I hope the authorities there force them to rescind the policy or shut them down.

2. I'm sure President Obama will get right on it.

4. Africa is very much segregated. Hundreds of Chinas Corps work all over Africa.

They don't mix with 'the locals' ever.
