    Pretty sure this type of action is not constitutional, but maybe I'm wrong.

    You manner of thinking is backward and thankfully unacceptable to most people. Also the very same argument you made about going to a hostile environment is the very same argument made by people who were against desegregation of schools and who wanted separate bathrooms. You are disgusting.

    Of course it's not legal. Race is a federally protected class. It's no different than a restaurant not allowing black people in.

    That said, they can refuse people by attire if it serves a reasonable business interest. So you'd have to be able to prove that it was race and not attire in court, and it's probably not worth anyone's time or expense to do so.

    He could just look like a fashionably dressed white person with a nice tan and silly hat.... He'd be allowed in. But might have to take off the hat.

    Urban bar doesn't want "Urban" patrons. How ironic.

    Catering your business to what you think white people want is legal, and I'm sure common practice. But refusing to let people in who aren't your target demographic is deplorable.

    Midtown is very racist. Ive seen them tell a black guy he couldn't come in because he was wearing vans lol. Half the dudes in the bar were wearing vans!

    I went to midtown over christmas, I didn't like it. apparently the gaslamp place was popular so a couple friends of mine went, one was white the other was a minority went there, they charged my minority friend and not the white friend to get in.

    really in houston? that's crazy.

    I have never reported a post on here, but this racial crap comin from you and bigtexxx and basso is freaking ridiculous. You must contribute a nice fund to his site for the Clutch Crew not to give a damn and not ban you.

    I received a private message linked to a post in this thread that said "I sound like a dirty Mexican". I can only assume that this came from a poster who disagrees with my point of view here.

    That's why so many of these condescending racial lectures that people give out are so difficult to give credence to. Often the lecturer themselves harbors racial views, yet still society puts them on a pedestal and pretends like they have something intellectual to say. There are two sides to every story and an enlightened thinker recognizes this.

    You're definitely a troll that loves to take underhanded cheap shots at minorities any chance you get.

    Every once in a while a D&D-type thread comes in and ruins the purity of the Hangout and it's always sad to see. Please leave and continue your poo-flinging in the proper place so that we can get back to pictures of boobs and gifs of people falling down. Thanks.

    LOL. Good, close the **** hole down. I drive by there all of the time and the douche level on the patio is enough to make one get the douche chills. The drunks trying to walk through traffic to their cars is always enjoyable too.
