Whoa. Who's to say who's right in a douche vs douche conflict such as this.
ReplyDeletea place that offers "5 Shots Of Anything For $10" has a dress code? puhlease
ReplyDeleteSeriously, who goes to a protest of a night club? Think about that. Seems lame. I'm not saying their cause is right or wrong, just...who the hell are these people and what were their alternative Saturday night plans?
ReplyDeleteMaybe if Christopher Street adopted his "no baggy, no saggy" policy the crime wouldn't be so bad over there. This place has operated without incident for decades. Point the gin in the right direction people.
ReplyDeleteI've personally been boycotting Continental Bar my entire life.
ReplyDeleteI don't get it? The patrons are claiming black on black racism?
ReplyDeleteANSWER is part of Workers' World party (WWP), a sick cult-like group of Stalinists fronted by people of color, but controlled by wealthy white people who set their agendas.
ReplyDeleteWWP is one of many phony political groups designed to channel the energy and efforts of young up and coming activists who are either misled until they burn out, or are turned off to political organizing in the future.
The whole purpose is to prevent EFFECTIVE political activism. Under phony groups like these, NOTHING changes. The status quo remains the SAME!!

Doesn't it usually?
Go somewhere else, if they're racist - don't go there. I THINK there may be some other bars in the area, just a hunch.
