    Reminds me of that bar in Austin that tried to tell me my slim fit Levi's were too "baggy"

    Kicking out skinny jeans wearing ? is progressive in my book.

    Slim fit does not equate to skinny

    That's the thing though they didn't pay they went across the street and watch white folks get in and black people have to pay. Also in your sig why is it Japanese warrior picture with a Chinese philosophers words?

    There's a place in Dallas called Kung Fu that they proved was racist. I knew that and never went spent any $ there. One of the employees snitched and showed an internal email where they pushed racist policy.
    What happened, slap on the wrist
    the bar, rather than dispute the accusations, copped to violating city code and agreed to pay a $400 fine, serve a 90-day probation and send Upshaw a written apology.

    If I see any black ppl there when I pass by i smh

    Trust me, if blacks in Texas stopped frequenting white racist clubs in midtown and started supporting black owned businesses like Mexicans do, white people will be infuriated.

    OK, let me explain.

    There is this view on the IC that changing the way you dress, talk, etc. to mollify white people doesn't help you with white people at all. (Something which is odd for these dudes to say given some of the other things they say, but I digress.) I think it does help with some whites, at least some of the time, at least to some extent.

    My point was that a person might think it does help, but still be opposed to changing those things.

    Which is to say that a person might be opposed to changing the way you talk, dress, etc. not only because such changes are likely to be ineffective, but for other reasons as well. For example, you might think that changing the way you dress to avoid bad treatment by white people (though it might be effective to some extent) is not compatible with a proper sense of self-respect.

    Hope that helps.

    PS. Don't listen to what these dudes say about me. Most of the time they don't even understand what I am trying to say.

    My thing is I will not and should not have to do any of those things to "fit in" with white folks.
    Especially if I am abiding by the dress code that establishment put in place and I still can't get in ? em.
    I'll go where my presence and money is warranted.

    Actually, the bolded is not what you first said. I have no problem with the bolded. What you first said is that changing the way you dress, etc. doesn't help you at all; they (all whites) are still gonna just see skin color. These are two different things.

    it doesn't help at all because white people will find a way to discredit and discriminate against you if they so choose to due to your skin color.

    You realize what you are saying, right? You are saying that it doesn't help you at all with any white people any of the time. I think that is false. You don't think that some white, at least some of the time, react better to blacks who dress, speak and act in a way that is more common to the way whites dress, speak and act?
