Chicago Club nightclub barred black male

posted 28th Oct
Did any of you guys hear about this?




(CNN) -- Students from Washington University say they have complained to state and federal agencies that a Chicago, Illinois, nightclub barred six African-American members from their senior class trip celebration while admitting nearly 200 white classmates.
Bar personnel cited dress code violations -- specifically baggy jeans -- when barring the African-American students, according to Washington University senior class president Fernando Cutz, who was among students admitted to the bar.
A white student and a black student exchanged jeans to see what would happen, and the white student was admitted while his classmate still was kept outside

I just find it funny that they took the time out to really see if his white friend would get in with the SAME jeans. I wonder what their defense will be!

That's upsetting.

However, I know my position on this subject offends and upsets some people. As much as I find it ethically galling that people would be discriminated against because of race or sex or orientation, I feel that if a private business wants to have discriminatory policies, that they should not be forced by a government agency to cater to everyone; what I suggest happen instead is that people use the power they have as consumers and community members to impact these kind of businesses where it will hurt them - in the pocketbook. People underestimate the power they can have when they come together on a subject and use their voices and influence. I know it seems to some that the government would be tacitly approving of discriminatory practices this way, and I can understand why it does seem that way, but I feel it would teach more of a "lesson" to the prejudiced owner than just a slap on the wrist would (which is how I see a business being forced to cater to people they don't like, all that does is get them more money).

I agree 100%. I would also like to add that I think it's sad that this is still going on and I feel bad for that guy. He needs to raise some hell.

I definitely agree with you there. I would definitely prefer to see a business fall under then expand more!!

This is just insane though.
