So if you've been to that place MANY times before w/o a problem, why was it any different that night?
Did you dress differently (the first attempt of the night) than the other previous times, or was it just a new different bouncer who was being an a$$hole to you? Sounds like b.s. - sorry to hear that happened to youman.

 

Not everything is racism. Hit me up when the bouncer is spraying you with water hoses, letting dogs attack you, beating you,calling you n******, and sending you to the colored entrance of the club. This guy doesn't know you, and when the last guy he kick out for being stupid may have been dress the same way, he's is gonna assume your a thug too.

 

Definately not racist.....I went to a bar in Virginia that wouldnt admit people if they had lugz or tims on.....case in point i changed my shoes they let me right in......bars have their dress codes you dont like it go someplace else....you even said it, its not the bouncers fault hes adhereing to the rules so y all the sudden would they turn racist...i am a cop and body language can tell a lot bout a persons demeanor and attitude and how some people are reacting to the situation that just means he was doing his job if he picked up on it.....

 

So basically what you're saying is that in order for anyone to be racist, it has to be like the Civil Rights movement? That's absurd. Thanks for proving my point though...

You guys probably can't truly understand where I'm coming from with this, but that's ok. I don't blame you. I know one thing though, that guy was a dick plain and simple, and for whatever reason you gentlemen prefer to label it is, he didn't let me in even after I changed and conformed to their rules.

Nocturnal.... behave like everyone else? Now explain what that means exactly... cause last time I checked, I walked up and was told to I couldn't get in at all due to my clothing, which means I never had a chance to behave.

 

Your situation and mine aren't the same, similar, but not quite. For one, a black bouncer would be hard pressed to impress his racist views upon a predominantly white crowd, no matter what city (Atlanta and D.C excluded). Also, you guys got in, and then your friend made a comment. I didn't say anything about anything being ridiculous. I asked if my change of dress was cool, and the guy agreed it was, but then proceeded to antagonize me further.

I don't see why everyone is trying to compare my situation to theirs. This was a rant. Everyone on this site has ranted about something before, but I guess since I said the guy might be racist, it's become some sort of "stop using the race card." I didn't even PLAY the race card. Jesus. Did you guys even read my original post?

 

ROFL. Appreciated that. Well f*ck it then. RACISM IS DEAD.

 

Lol. I like it. Those things are there for a reason and do serve their purpose. If anything, such organizations counter-act segregation and racism. Sending black kids to schools that usually only white kids could go to and so on. It's all a matter of perspectives.

The world will always have racism as long as their are differences between people. It's human nature. I just wish it weren't the case. Wishful thinking. someday it would be nice to be able to imapct a change, but that requires a lot of thought and soul searching.

 

Are you kidding me?? I'm white and I can't get much help for school from organizations. So you're saying that it's fair that just because someone is born a different color that they should get free rides later in life? I work my *** off to pay for school/rent/car/insurance. My parents give me no money at all. But, hey! I'm white so I guess I'm automatically priveledged.

plus - Playing the race card is an idiomatic phrase referring to an allegation raised against a person who has brought the issue of race or racism into a debate, perhaps to obfuscate the matter

I once got called a racist at work cause I didn't cash a check for a black man. Our policy is that non-customers need 2 peices of ID to cash checks over a certain amount.He only had one peice of ID.But hey, screw that..since he's black and I'm white, I must be a racist.

Yes, racism still exists, but sometimes people jump the gun and cry "racism" before realizing, "hey, maybe the guy just doesn't like me in particular, not my whole race"

Dude, shut the **** up already about this race card bullshit. It was a joke between me and a friend. The thread title itself is misleading. Don't come bitching about you're white and you're this and you're that.

Until you're a minority, you have no ******* clue what I'm talking about. Period. You can imagine all you want, and compare all your little bullshit situations to other people's, but the fact remains that black people and mexicans are not equal to caucasians in America. Anyone who denies that is full of ****. Seriously.

And despite ALLLLLLL of that, I'm not even the one bringing up all the racial "I'm being treated terribly by the world" ****. I referred to O N E guy. Thanks, talk about jumping the gun. Dumbass.

 

Thanks for all the cuss words. How old are you?

I'm part hispanic on my mom's side. I used to live in a very racist town in Illinois. I used to get picked on and beat up at school because I was part hispanic and also because I had black friends.If you weren't 100% white in this place than you were a "minority". True I'm not technically a"minority" according to normal standard, but to themI was.So don't come to me with your bull crap of "not knowing what it's like". I've been called names and people attempted to degrade me. Black people and Mexicans? What about Asians or Russians...come on now. And I already said that racism still exists. You have to realize that there is something called reverse racism as well.

You still didn't address my main issue. Why should the color of your skin dictate whether you can get help for school or not? If anything that promotes racism. Apparently I'm not hispanic enough to be able to put that on my papers, so I'm pretty much white. I know a lot of priveledged people in my area that are "minorities". So they should be able to get help for school, even though they can afford school or have thier parents pay for it, yet I can't? Is that really fair?

If the racial comment was a joke, than change the headline. I really don't understand the purpose of this post. If everyone ranted everytime someone crossed them in the wrong way, than this message board would be spammed with crap.

Why don't you start a livejournal or something. Go rant on there. That way you wouldn't look so foolish with your "rants"
