It is simply because white folks can't dance.

I know this is common rhetoric to say " you'll get shot in that hood if you walk through it"

Can you point to more than 3 examples of this in the last year of a white person being shot in E. ST L just for bing there.......not for buying/selling dope or some other illicit thing?

Keep your WET dreams to yourself.

There are 100's of those. The most popular are called ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX.

What year is it????

1940?

Did I just teleport back in time?

This thread makes zero sense to me.

IT IS ILLEGAL TO NOT ALLOW SOMEONE OF A PARTICULAR ETHNIC GROUP IN YOUR ESTABLISHMENT ON THE GROUNDS YOU HAVE DESCRIBED.

ILLEGAL!

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 explicitly prohibits restaurants from refusing service to patrons on the basis of race, color, religion, or natural origin. In addition, most courts don’t allow restaurants to refuse service to patrons based on extremely arbitrary conditions. For example, a person likely can’t be refused service due to having a lazy eye.
Right to Refuse Service

They aren't less likely. Their victim mentality is just as bad as everyone else's at this point.

And if this really doesn't happen (and we both know that it doesn't) what's the point?

Again with the desperation to make threads.

Lets get a dose of reality here. Do you stroll into a hardcore biker bar unless your Pee Wee Herman? Do you go check out a skinhead bar just for kicks if you don't know anybody? Do you go to a redneck bar if your black or a gangbanger club if your white? Of course not. In the liberal utipia you do but not in the real world.

Last I checked, all of those networks feature black people and do not exclusively show white only shows.
