It’s Sad after years of abuse from our other race “white” We still have to turn our heads in shame especially in a night club. Times have changed even though the man was turned away, We still are seated on the most high! We still share everything you own now! We finally can express ourselves without fear of anything happening to us. This is Change

It is no surprise that this is still going on back in the early 90’s I was denied entry into Mother’s but my white friends were let in. On Division Street I lot of the clubs let only a handful of african anerica in. So it was not about being safe it was about color it is sad that almost 2o years later this is still happening. I was born and raised in Chicago so I have first hand experience ... See all content

Mother’s night club has also other discrimination complaints against them. Look it up. The story is very true, I am friends with and go to school with the guys not admitted, and it is very real.

BFloyd your right. This is poorly written, especially the last sentence “But after a black students switched pants with a white student who was admitted and still was not let in–the group thought racism played a role.” It has a dangling modifier, I don’t who their talking about.

I’m sorry, are we really surprised about this story? A club not letting individuals in because they are black! We need to face the fact that racism is alive and well and that they probably did not let these individuals in because they were black. It is sad to know that incidents such as this still happens in America. I don’t think this club can justify a response as to why they did not ... See all content

Content aside, this article is so poorly written it’s embarrassing. Check that first paragraph for more typos than topic.

I actually don’t believe this at all, I’m very good family friends with the owners of Mothers and there racial sentiments are not being fairly portrayed at all! They are warm, welcoming and loving people and I’m positive that the owners have not taught theyre workers to deny anyone based on racial motives.

Off a quick read, it seems more of a ’safe before sorry’ type deal than racism. Was it wrong in this particular situation? Of course it was. Should the club apologize to the Black student? Of course it should. The main point is that innocent Blacks are paying the price for the crimes/deeds that their brother-en are committing daily. The level of crime in the Black community is staggering ... See all content
