Ummm first off, some people are still ignorant. On the other hand, as a parent, I don't want my children ANYWHERE that they are not welcome. So basically screw that club and the folk that patronize the business

Did you think only red states had racists? This wasn't about red versus blue BTW, unless you can't get some sleep without turning everything about it.

Racism goes beyond party lines. And this story proves some people have refused to grow up and crawl out of the rock they live under.

I've seen plenty of racists of all colors and geographic locations! It'll be interesting to see if in fact this is what happened, if it did it should be all over the MM soon.
You'll know for sure when Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson shows up.

Unfortunately, that just pereptuates the racism. I don't know what I'd do as a parent, but I wouldn't just run off. I'd at least try to get my money back, and raise a stink.

"Racism" in the purest sense of the word will never, ever go away. No, let me modify that statement a tad. Racism in the purest sense of the word will only go away when ALL the races cease to exist as individual entities, only when the comingling of the genes have crossed so many lines that there is but one skin color. Won't happen in my lifetime, maybe in another couple or several thousand years. Jordi on Startrek said in one episode that the gubmint had declared there would be no such talk anymore, that it was a non-entity. Hm, kinda sounds like the present gubmint's goals of equality across the board, don't it?

Since moving to Texas from Montana, I've discovered the blacks to be just as prejudice toward whites as whites are toward blacks ... It's pretty sad, and extremely funny all at the same time.

After reading that article twice, I still can't believe it.

Yup ... those two leeches make their money off of prejudice. It's a regular cottage industry for them.

If racism ever went away, we would find them both standing in the unemployment line.

Sadly, they will always be employed in America.

That's disgusting... Boycott the crap out of the management company or anything else you can do. Fair housing should be contacted...
