"Negroes get booted from a club..." North Carolina this time

[jtuck004]

The saddest part of his post, here are those first couple lines. In our free, democratic country, where people fought and died for their civil rights yet can't gain basic human respect from so many, racism is so bad that he doesn't even bother to post most of the events. That's a stinking rot underlying any good we might do.

Honestly, I don't even trip with the racism chase anymore. This stuff is so commonplace in America that it doesn't even pay to feature the all too frequent incidents of the ignorant and moronic.

Besides, you Negroes need to start doing for yourselves and stop trying to get into white folks business.

"Last Saturday, June 16th, Wall and two other friends arrived at Downtown Sports Bar and Grill around 12:30 AM. “You need a membership to come in tonight,” the bouncer told them. “I’ve never seen you here before.” ...as he was explaining this, a police officer walked up to where he was standing to tell him something unrelated. As soon as he caught sight of the officer beside him, he said “Never mind, y’all go ahead.” ...

Once inside, Wall was accosted by an employee [who he later learned was the bar's manager] after standing near the bar by himself for a few moments. “Either buy a drink or leave right now,” the man told him. Wall said he was waiting for his friend to come back from the bathroom, but man insisted he had to buy a drink right away. When Wall continued to look for his friend, the employee physically attacked him:"

That whole "start doing for yourselves" line could apply to a whole bunch of us, however. There are a lot of places we go that don't really want us, not really. Could be our job, could be as simple as someplace we just spend money.

Maybe we can figure out another way, not play their game anymore. Without us, the tyrant, the bully, the greedy bastard no longer has power.

1. What city was this in? If it is any where near a military base you can bet your dollar that

it will be off limits to soldiers. The military will not put up with discrimination. Period.

2. Looks like Raleigh

This link is buried in the story.

3. This happened in Raleigh.

This link has more details. http://theobamacrat.com/2012/06/19/racism-1012-in-north-caralonia-bar/

Having lived in NC for the last 3 years, I'm not surprised.

11. I am not surprised, either

I have heard racist comments from people here that made me cut off all contact with them.

It is sad that some people are so stupid.

4. Raleigh. There are a lot of people with similar stories from the place. A campaign has been

started to shut the bar down.

For all the good that'll do, but it is necessary that they stop and no longer profit from it. This happens all across the country every day, to varying degrees. This one just got publicized.

The bar:

I'm guessing a few of those sports teams they make money on aren't too damn thrilled about it either.

Maybe the Giants could show up...not to order, but to insist they discuss with them that their enemy is not skin color, but people who extract money from all our pockets so they can get more zeroes on their bank account.

6. If the citizens (the citizens) of the city boycotted the place it will be a good start. Protest

outside of the establishment. Both whites and blacks together do it. I remember back in the late 60s the KKK decided to come through our neighborhood. We had one black family that was down the street. They were a nice family and no one had problems with them. You should of seen all the neighbors up and down the blocks of row homes come out yelling at them to leave our area and that they weren't welcome here. Yelling we don't want any trouble from anyone. They never came back. I was so proud of my majority white neighbors that went out yelling at them to get the hell out of the neighborhood.

7. One of the comments on the Obamacrat site suggested opening a competing bar across the street.

No dress code, treat people with respect, actually run it like a business should be run.

I suspect the morans across the street would eventually dwindle away, but they would have to re-think their position several times b4 that.

5. This is so sad.

8. Looks by the address to be the Glenwood south area.

Seems like an unlikely area since that area is frequented by college aged kids into the 20's and tend to be racially diverse.

10. Yup

9. This is in one of the most gay-friendly areas in the US

Chapel Hill-Durham-Raleigh.

[onethatcares]

13. people do not possess a

tattoo on their forheads saying their gay, but that color thing, stands out pretty much on its own.

14. People need to be reminded of that. Thanks. n/t
