A Fresno, California bar is under fire for kicking out two African-American attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union who were trying to have a night out singing karaoke, according to the ACLU.
Attorneys Abre Conner and Novella Coleman went to a bar called Brig. The two women were hoping for a night of karaoke and planned to sing the R&B classic, Waterfalls, by TLC.
But before our song was called, a bar employee came up and said we had to buy drinks to sing karaoke, they wrote on the ACLUs website. Another bartender lunged at us within inches of our faces and shouted Buy drinks!' This despite the fact they had already bought drinks, they wrote.
A second bartender a very tall and large man shouted louder and louder that we were loitering and that the bar wasnt a hangout place, they wrote. Over and over again he pushed his body up against Abre who is just 54 tall to force her out of the bar.

Ah yes, Fresno, where the police chief had a special ringtone for an AA city council member. Care to hazard a guess?
