Your stereo scenario, fine, its evident it wasnt a racial motivation. But, when it comes to entry at clubs, it most certainly for the most part it.

my stereo example was to show:
a) not everything is based on race
b) the race card gets thrown around WAY too much and WAY too lightly
c) people are willing to believe it nd get their panties in a bunch right off the bat else be labled politically incorrect and racist
d) calling someone racist has (some times very severe) concequences for the accused racist
there are a million and one reasons why the bouncer might not have let those guys into the club. i sometimes get refused entrance because of my haircut (i shave my head). i have friends that don't get in because they have long hair. i know people that couldn't get in places because the bouncer didn't like the music they were playing when they drove by. i had a british friend who had trouble getting in places because some peole didn't like his accent. SO WHAT? this is not news. nobody cares. show this happens to a black guy sometimes and its "tonight's top story"
