Latent Prejudice Stirs When a Black Man Tries to Join a Charleston Club
Dr. W. Melvin Brown III at his home in Charleston, S.C. At the encouragement of white friends in the
Charleston Rifle Club, he applied for membership, but was rejected.
By Richard Fausset
Dec. 18, 2018 CHARLESTON, S.C. — Though the Charleston Rifle Club was founded in 1855 to promote good marksmanship, it is better known today for a more prosaic pastime, bowling. And though the sign out front, with its lion-flanked escutcheon and Gothic lettering, gives off a whiff of high society, the club’s membership spans classes, embracing socialites and police officers, lawyers and factory workers.
But it could find no place for Dr. W. Melvin Brown III.
On a Monday night in October, Dr. Brown, a respected emergency-room doctor and native Charlestonian, waited in a hallway of the private club with 13 other men who hoped to be voted in. One of the members who sponsored Dr. Brown’s application had introduced him at the club’s monthly meeting, emphasizing his good character, local roots and military service.
Then the nominees were ushered out of the room, and the 50-odd club members in attendance began scooping up handfuls of marbles. There were 14 small boxes, each marked with an applicant’s name: A white marble dropped in was a yes vote, a black one meant no. Six or more black marbles would spell rejection.
Dr. Brown was the only African-American nominee, and the only one to receive a subtle tap on the shoulder on the way back into the room. Eleven black marbles had been dropped had been dropped in his box.
James W. Ledlie, a lawyer who co-sponsored Dr. Brown’s membership bid, rushed outside and apologized to his friend. Then he went back into the meeting, livid.
“What happened here tonight is disgusting and despicable,” he recalls telling the members in the room. “There’s no question what happened here. And it’s wrong.”

you arguing something I'm not disagreeing with.
(and I'm from Charleston SC ...the shyt I know from cats trying to maneuver with downtown Charleston money is "interesting" ).I'll put it to you like this in simplest terms....you are not on the same level as a rich black person. They have more privilege than you, even though you are both black, because of money.
And in MOST cases, a rich black person has more clout/privilege than a regular white person. That is ALL I'm saying bruh.
I'm not arguing pie in the sky, it's the reality of the haves and have nots with the haves using their clout. That's never going to change.

Mother Is Sentenced To Five Years In Prison For Son Attending Out Of School District
Tonya McDowell, 34, given 12 year sentence suspended after five years served and five years probation for falsifying documents to get her child in school.
The zoning laws that are in place aim to keep children in their rightful school seats where no one can take them away. But in scenarios where students end up in the wrong zone either from a parent knowingly using the wrong address or from someone living with another to get their child in their district’s school, lawmakers translate that into theft. At that point, the child’s parent is stealing another child’s seat from them…and the price is steep if you get caught.
