Chicago - A well-known bar in Chicago's Gold Coast is being accused of racism.
snip
Six African-American men in the group were denied entry to the bar last weekend.
Student Regis Nurayi says the bar's manager told them their jeans were too baggy.
But Murayi didn't buy it.
So he switched jeans with a shorter, white student.
The white student, who now had very baggy jeans, was let in, and Murayi was still kept out.
The students held a protest in front of Mother's last Sunday, and there's a meeting about this issue in St. Louis on Monday.
The students are considering a lawsuit.
Yeah, got'em cold. Profiling no doubt.
I just love it when Yankees are caught out.
Of course the jury in that lawsuit might remember that it is mostly black gang members that wear baggy clothes as a way to conceal their weapons. It use to be called the LA Gang Look.
Maybe the students... black, white and in between.... might consider wearing suits instead of filing lawsuits.
You know, set an example. I mean you folks wanting to be lawyers, societal leaders and all that stuff.
And yeah, I know that would mean that you can't do what you want, which is to conform to another societal norm rather than setting an example to that other norm.
Life's a bitch, eh?
