I went into this bar around 9 o'clock on a Saturday...full irony intended...and I have never felt more disgusted about racism on the eastside than this evening. I sat next to an elderly white man...probably 65...70 years old. While conversing with him about the situation of the schooling on the east side he said some very politically incorrect things. I walked it off considering that the man his 30 years to live at best and they would not be the best years of his life. I digress. Another drunk white gentleman, apparently a brother of one of the employees of the establishment, took offense to the "n" word. I admit, I refuse to accept this word as well, but in the case of a 65 plus year old man sitting at a bar I just walked it off. He said it once. This other man didn't feel the same way and in multiple situations put his hands near this elderly gentleman...the elderly man asked him to walk away because he did not respect him putting his hands in his face (this is very literal, he put his hands very near this man, I would have felt offended as well). After probably 20 minutes, the same man who was the "brother of an employee" got up and got entirely into this old man's face again. I have to say, after everything and that point, I had already walked both of these people off. HOWEVER, he got up straight into this man's face who was 40 years his senior and started making a scene again. At this point I got upset, and intervened. Of course, the man who was able to confront someone over double his age backed down when I confronted him, but another black man who was apparently a regular got up as well and we both got removed from the bar, with exception of the black man who was never even in the conversation in the first place and had no idea what was going on. This is racism as its finest. I feel that this bar is one of the reasons why the east side is becoming what it is. It perpetuates racism. I have never felt so disgusted in a bar I have been a patron of. I will never go back, and I strongly encourage others to do the same (not that I think most people would dare go into a building as run down as this one is). If I could have given this bar no stars and a police report instead I would have. read more
