Local media reports on racism where none exists

It's pretty sad when the local media reports on acts of racism when none simply took place. The night club Decibel on Milwaukee's fashionable East Side, is being accused of not allowing a patron in who was wearing pants that were too baggy.

Boo hoo.

I got news for this crybaby patron. I've gone to North Avenue with white friends who were not let into Decibel because they were wearing tennis shoes and ripped up jeans. So was Decibel being racist against whites because they didn't allow him in? Of course not.

Many night clubs have dress codes. I've had friends denied at clubs simply because they wore a hat. And guess what, they were white.

So get over yourself, get on with your life, and stop playing the poor little victim just because you can't do whatever you want.

When we can no longer trust our local media to report news that is accurate, and ignore this kind of silly nonsense instead of treating it as a news story, it may be time to leave.
