“A black St. Louis talk show host has seen the same problem: Black mob violence at the Del Mar Loop, the upscale entertainment district, is a regular feature of life there. Why? The clubs have not reached out to black people to make them feel welcome.”
I knew a bar manager. He said you can have one black in the band. When you have two or more blacks take that as a signal that this is a black bar. They come in before the cover charge, occupy the best seats and nurse one beer the whole night. They’re nasty and threatening to whites, running them out. Then you get your first shooting and you’d might as well shut down then because the bar is finished for white, trendy money spending patrons. You won’t even fill it at lunch. You can’t replace white patrons with black patrons because they don’t spend enough money.
Locally there’s a historically black college. I can’t recall a homecoming game where somebody wasn’t shot at or near a party. Usually, the shooters were uninvited guests.
The list of places to NOT visit on my bucket list just keeps getting longer. Added St. Louis to it. I guess I can pretty much add any place east of the Mississippi, except...Kansas City, Kansas which is west of the Mississippi...this is getting complicated.
