Yeah I get that they shouldn't expect much else from white establishments but something bothers me about saying "you should have known better" argument. This isn't their fault, it's the establishment. And even so, that doesn't take away any of the initial shock and humiliation when you're turned away. To tell others they shouldn't feel a certain way is to tell them to buck up and accept it because "it's going to happen". It takes away their humanity. Black people are allowed to have human emotions about these things
Not directed at you Black Ken, but are people really surprised that human beings gravitate towards other people that look like them and that they have more in common with? To be honest I can't blame a "white" club for wanting the atmosphere to be just that....white. Just like "black" clubs wants to attract black crowds to attract more black people.Any of y'all Charlotte people ever been to Oak Room on a Saturday. As long as you're dressed nice they let anybody in. But when you get in there you can clearly see the divide. The black people are in the dance area on the right, while everybody else is in the bar area.
I don't go clubbing and even I know a lot of club establishments are racist and don't want black people there or at least too many. If you aren't dressed on point they won't let you in ie dress shirt, pants and nice shoes.
I've also heard from bouncers that black dudes don't be simping and buying a whole lot of drinks like white dudes do.
