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?

Did you even read what was being said? My comments (which were then echoed) were simply that a Global news story
by itself is not proof.
You say you have been discrimanted against; fine. But how often is it? I'm sure the negative events stand out for you. But if you are denied entry at the same rate as white people who have said they get denied entry, it isn't discrimination.
All I'm saying is that the race card can, at times, be brought out far too quickly. Like in IHH's example:

I read the article, and their food took a very long time to arrive. I would say that at Denny's, it is a relatively common occurance for food to take a long time. Who here goes there when they are in a hurry?
Once again, if I was a betting man I would place my money on the fact that some clubs do discriminate. But let's have the whole story.
At any point, did Global say exactly how many bars they tried, and exactly how many they were allowed into and how many they weren't?
My signature is a classic example of how not having enough info can lead you to false conclusions. Goto
www.dhmo.org and have a look around. They make all sorts of claims that would make some people wonder why something isn't being done; until you see that Dihydrogen Monoxide is the chemical name for water.
