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.

Yes, I've read the thread and I wasn't talking about you in particular.
No, the global news story itself is not what I am basing my opinion on. This has happened to me dozens of times, and I know it happens at a much higher rate then it does to white people.
If I'm well dressed, and of age for that bar, I still have less than a 50% chance of getting into most major night clubs.
I don't need a news story to tell me this, I've lived it, and many of my white friends have had to live it too just by trying to go to the bar with me.
Sure the race card does get played too fast, and I'm no fan of that either, but in this case I guarentee you it is the case. It's not even a point of discussion, it's a cold hard fact.
