I hate to sour up the thread, but I really need to get this off my chest.
I am a big fan of MMA and last night was UFC 185. The Mrs. and I decided to go out to dinner and a sports bar after to watch it. We ended up finding a pretty decent Mexican place not too far from where the event would be showing. We finished eating and walked over to the sports bar. We got out front and wanted to have a cigarette before we went in. As we are right out front of the place smoking a security guard opens the door and tells us to not smoke in front of the building to go around the side.
"Oh, ok no problem".
He also let us know the side door entrance was the one we wanted.
Now, we finished the cig. and 2 other security guards at the side door are checking our IDs. When one of them says "They not gonna let you wear that hat in here" again its
"Oh, ok no problem" and I stuck the hat in my ladies purse.
Then a dude comes out and says "Sorry but theres no hoodies allowed in here". I had a polo shirt under the hooded sweatshirt, so I went to just take it off. Then I looked over at my wife and remembered that she had on a hoodie too.
I was willing to take mine off so we could enjoy the rest of our night, but there is no way I would let my woman take off the top she wanted to wear that day in order to get into an establishment that we are clearly not want in.
As we started to walk away I look in the window, guess what I see inside. People with hoodies, well I could only see one, but I am sure that as cold as it was last night that many more had hoodies on.
I turned around, went back to the front door and asked "Is this some sort of black thing? Because I see people inside with hoodies on" He said that since they were there earlier that he cannot kick them out.

Maybe I am overreacting a bit, but I know the way I felt walking away being denied service, because of the clothes I was wearing made me feel like less of a man, almost not human. I feel like no matter how I try to be a member of society, I am not wanted, because of how I look.
I totally understand that its a private business and they can refuse service to whomever he likes, but I sensed an underlying tone of racism/class-ism.
If I were Lil Wayne or maybe a Lebron James in a hoodie I dont think I would have had that problem. I also feel like if I were a little lighter in complexion my hoodie would not have stirred the pot.
At least the mexican food was good

Real shitty shishka.

Sucks that happened. I may not be a minority in the grand scheme of things, but I do try to go places where I am the minority. A couple time in my life I've been turned away from places and I never felt lower. I'd rather someone come at me talking mad shit, trying to start a fight that the underhanded, not even gonna be real about it bullshit that some people put on us. And the fucking look they give you, like "What, you don't know what time it is? You're a piece of trash that doesn't belong here."

:(

You're always welcome at my place.

Damn nettle gave me welts on my hand and a barely brushed up against it. I'm glad I learned early on what poison oak looked like... these welts go away quick. Had a buddy walk through a patch of poison oak. His whole body was fucked up for a week or something.

Here's a video for you guys. Gives me chills. Not sure if you all can vibe with this, but this is how I'm feeling inside these days. One with things. It's meditative in the big emtpy house.


And on that point... thanks for letting me chat my head off in here lately. Not many other people I have to talk to.

That's lame, I can see there was some kinda of anime panda on her sweater. Which has to be the most non threatening gang hoodie around.. That food looks really good though and even if you gotten in, still would've been the highlight of the night. But have you ever thought of playing basketball while rapping!? You can out shine lilwayne and lebron at the same time!

@shishkaboy that's bullshit but you handled it well. Lately everyone's looking around like who's gona shoot who, really sucks, Can't we all just smoke a J and get along LOL.
The wife and I got to see our daughter Saturday, that was a nice visit. Funny she lives like 30 minutes from us but this was the first real visit from her in like a year. I guess you raise um and let them fly. I'm hoping she will take a small part in the new company so she can have fun too, make things easier for her too. I got some seed tent pRon for ya all today, a little over 2 weeks in.

Everyone loved the Jacks Classic, it gave them what they were missing, they got the first dose of the mazsea bloom food Friday. The other tent get's bloom food tomorrow, have to get in and tuck a few shoots heading for the light, still getting used to growing up but I love it so far. 8 big girls going and I could have done 10 I think, next run. Hope everyone's having a wicked weekend! Peace MD.

You can't fix stupid. You were the bigger man, and kept your cool so props :clap:. There's always going to be sone kind of hatred in the world. Recognize it, call it what it is, show others the stupidity of it, and learn from it. Some people get mad and miss the opportunity to teach. That business will have less customers, make less money, and keep itself secluded to ignorance. Find youself a spot that accepts you, and support them fully.

On another note, I've finally decided on a new rifle. Sig 556R will be taking a spot in the home sometime in the next couple months. I am pumped!
