I can't believe there are people on here denying that this has anything to do with racism. You people are so blind, it's not even funny.
I have had bouncers even admit to me that they weren't letting me in because of my colour. I guess they were part of the Global news conspiracy too, right?
It doesn't matter how well I dress, how polite I am, how old I am, if they don't want me in, they'll find some excuse that makes absolutely no sense.
And contrary to what some here think, this is a big deal to some of us. Getting denied because of the colour of my skin has been the most angering and embarassing experience of my life, and at times made me ashamed to be a born and raised Calgarian.
There have been nights where I was physically forced out of line by the bouncers because I insisted that they gave me the real reason for not letting me in. I have wanted to go back and beat the **** out of those guys, but don't have it in me. This is a huge deal to many Calgarians and that's why it's the top story on the news.
